Stiaan Louw | SLA2 Homme Boy

By now you must have gathered that, I am a great fan Stiaan Louw's work from Atletiek to the more recent Lace and leather offering. SLA2 is a somewhat extension to Atletiek fusing Homo-eroticism with Sport-luxe influences. While the everyday South African men might some of his collections to be too provocative, Stiaan Louw's maintains his creative artistic expression to bring a collection that is not only wearable but unique. The SLA2 collection features key pieces such as, animal and tropical hybrid printed track pants, animal print fitted vest which is on my wish list and other pieces which draw inspiration from the streets of Cape Town.

Do keep an eye out on the SLA2 fashion film coming out somewhere this week, for a more homo-erotic experience.
