Our second guest on the Sessions podcast is Zuluboy Ama Daz Floor from Gweri Vintage Collection
You might have noticed on social media that many people are sporting some colourful socks. More than likely, it might be one of Zulu Boy’s trendy and crazy designs.
His socks form part of the Gweri Vintage Collection, which is only the start of what he has planned.
Zulu Boy is nothing short of an artist and his long presence in the media delivers testimony to his ambitious nature.
“I wanted to create something that Namibians can feel proud of,” states Zulu Shikulo, “When you wear the product you feel like, yes, this is close to me.” The collection will be characterised through a colour pallet that has been drawn from the country’s landscape and her national colours. The socks will also be coloured in designs that remind buyers of the uniqueness of the local people.
Zulu Shikulo chose the name Gweri Vintage because a “gweri” is commonly understood as someone who may not be the coolest or the most popular and mainly referred to Aawambo people of Namibia who are considered to have a strong rural background.
“In society, people have this mindset that if you don’t know certain things, then you can’t be associated with certain people. I’m trying to show people that anyone is cool. Also, I’m more of a vintage stylist.”
What Zulu Shikulo is aiming for is the introduction of a new style. By encouraging engagement and inclusion, he believes that Gweri Vintage will become a brand that is more authentic to the Namibian because it is also by the Namibian.
Join us as we explore the life and history of a designer, stylist, chef, and music artist.
