Trevor Stuurman Celebrates Local Fashion and Culture Across Africa

To see more from Trevor’s photography, follow @trevor_stuurman on Instagram.

For traveling fashion photographer and stylist Trevor Stuurman (@trevor_stuurman), home is wherever the Wi-Fi connects. Whether he’s styling a shoot in South Africa or speaking on a panel in Rwanda, he’s an advocate for African fashion and culture. “I support the local fashion industry in various ways, such as wearing local, shooting local and making a noise about our local talent,” Trevor, who is based in Johannesburg, says. To people who imagine the continent as a nascent location for fashion, Trevor says it’s time to catch up: “Africa is now! We are here, educated, empowered and highly relevant. We are awakening to our own beauty and celebrating that every day.”

We’re in our last city of the project, Lilongwe. As much as we’re extremely happy to be nearing the end of Part 1 of this mammoth project, we’re incredibly honored by the attention you guys have given it. There’s a lot more to see. But in the mean time, tag people in Lilongwe if you know any. We’d love to meet as many as we can.

Some say the history of this building is very much symbolic of the history of SA. True?
