Hi guys. I had such a great Monday this week. Theduodesk ala Crystal Kasper & Palesa Mahlaba were in town for the Sunglass hut Punk
Avant Garde talk. If you don’t know who Palesa & Crystal are, well here is
a quickie. They are the brains behind #theduodesk. Crystal is a very well
established fashion blogger & stylist, check her site here. Palesa is a former
True Love fashion editor & stylist. Both are well known faces in the
industry and the turn heads wherever they go.
Crystal & Palesa teamed up with Sunglass hut to give a talk on
the avant garde trend. Crystal explains the trend and its background on her
blog here. In summary from what I got, the trend was started as a fashion
rebellion by individuals who wanted a different identity and thus the punk
inspired trend took off. To date the trend has been transformed and the duodesk
emphasized that it’s all about making it your own. Take it in your stride and
personalize the trend. Please don’t conform. Of course one key piece to have to
tie the look together and give it the ultimate cool is a pair of sunglasses.
The right pair of sunnies just pulls a look together and can transform your entire look.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself & made a new friend, which is
always hard for me. I follow both Palesa & Crystal on social media. I
always wondered what kind of women they are. To my delight they are both very
kind people who made time for all our questions and wanting to take pictures. I
asked them all sorts of questions and they were more than happy to oblige.
One of my questions was where is theduodesk going? What’s the
intent? What can we expect? Their vision is an online publication that will be
a source of style & beauty advice for women. I for one is looking forward
to it. For more on the duodesk check out their social media handles
