I’ve mentioned more than a few times how much finding people with great style excites me. That’s why I started this style crush segment on the blog – because I absolutely love sourcing out and sharing the stylish people I come across.
Its been a while I had a style crush post here though and I thought to correct that. My last feature was the awesome Cacsmy Brutus from New York here.
Andile Biyana is a South African law student and one of the founders of a “fashion group” called Khumbula – A trio of stylish south africans using fashion to showcase the African art. I’m not here to talk about the fashion group though. I singled out Andile because she happens to be the only female in the group and I LOVE her style, which is what I’m spotlighting here.
I’ve been following her on instagram for a while now, although I can’t really remember how I came across her profile. I’m a huge fan of retro fashion, which makes up a big part of Andile’s wardrobe as evident from her style. It is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but she owns it well.
Her style is different, refreshing and totally hers and that’s what I love about it.
Her retro style is nice to look at. I couldn't be so bold, but I like how her outfits still seem relatable, instead of unattainable. Do you get what I mean?

I was thinking the exact same thing! I'm not bold enough to rock this but she pulls it off nicely, I'd definitely do a double take if I see her on the streets.

The double take thing – yess! Her style would definitely make me/anyone look twice and I also agree that not everyone would be able to pull it off.
Yes Barry, I totally get you!
Gosh! She's absolutely gorgeous. Every picture is a 10.
