Editor's Note My name is Siyabulela Lengisi and I started the business called Mr Loafty Entertainment to tell stories of South African Designers and Models through Fashion shows.
On this magazine we want to keep you informed about the fashion industry and inspire you to love fashion and modeling more than ever because this is a billion dollar industry.
In the 2 years we have been doing what we love it turns out people have different views about the clothing and textile industry.
We run a models academy where we guide and facilitate the progress of the aspiring models who aspire to be on the lime light.
On this fourth issue of Mr Loafty entertainment we are talking about aspiring models, the perceptions we (consumers) have about the textile and clothing industry, latest trends and important terms used on the fashion industry.

SOCKS AND SANDALS ARE NO MATCH Sandals are open and are usually showing off your foot. It can be fashionable when partnered with the right top and bottoms.
PINK IS FOR KIDS Wearing pink does not always mean you’re a kid, or you’re feeling like one. With different shades of pink, you can try and match the shade with your skin tone or accessories you will use.
LIGHT-COLORED CLOTHES ARE FATTENING Opposite to the previous myth, this claim that light-colored clothes make your body look bigger. If paired with proper accessories, light-colored clothes can grasp the shape of your body, which shows it off.

TOP 10 SPRING/ SUMMER TRENDS
2021
THE SPRING SEASON HAS STARTED AND WE HAVE THE TOP TEN TRENDS YOU SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON FOR 2021
OVERSIZED SHOULDERPAD BOYFRIEND JACKETS
Rock this look with a pair of straight-leg trousers or leather shorts for an ultra-modern style – colors that suit this trend are powder blue, charcoal, and neutrals.
BLACK FACE MASKS
Wear anything from a red trench coat to a color-blocking suit and look exceptionally stylish.
HEAD SCARFS Wrap the fabric under your chin in a loose knot, or have it hanging off the back of your head – mix things up by wrapping it around your neck or let it dangle from your bag.
SORBET PASTEL TONES Choose from a boiler suit in cool mint green or an oversized trench coat in soft lavender – better yet, try them both simultaneously
YELLOW BAGS choose a small clutch to spice up an outfit or find a mustard tote for your daily needs.
FOLK INSPIRED COATS When the temperature starts to drop, add some layers of delicate embroidery and lace to keep your outfit hot.
WHITE KNEE HIGH BOOTS
Wear it with a patterned mini dress or skirt, a rollneck, or a funky pair of leggings.
YELLOW AND CAMEL COLOR STYLING Try a light brown suit or coat with a mustard turtleneck for the cooler months or a sleek tan T-shirt and camel pair of flare pants
POP BLUE ACCESSORIES Mix and match your accessories and discover a new favorite way to rock your key pieces.
FRINGING ON THE BAGS
Choose from a leather fringe or shearling – you can rock this piece any season, and make it work for almost any event. For a classic feel, choose dark hues like brown or black,.

IT'S YOUR LIFE, LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST MODELLING SHAPED HERLIFE AND GAVE HER PURPOSE TO NEVER DOUBT HER TALENTS & PASSION. STORY BY SIYABULELA LENGISI
My name is Thelma Sihlwele I lives in Langa, grew up In Centane. I am currently a dealer at Grand West Casino and now I'm doing modeling part time.
"I MUST NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE MYSELF" 2. When did you start modeling? I started modeling in 2014 and my role model is myself because I see myself growing, gaining a lot experience and learning more about everything I come across with...
3. What was your biggest challenge starting out? Experience & Confidence I had to gain a lot of experience, I had to gain confidence in myself, to believe in me, to learn that we all beautiful in different ways, we don't see things the same way therefore I should trust myself and the fact that I must never underestimate myself.
"Firstly know who you are, what type of model you want to be so that you won't be trying everything that includes modeling. Know which modeling field you want to go with have knowledge about modeling at least that would help."
4. How did the pandemic affect your journey? It has affected my journey in so many ways that so many ways, I was unable to travel, there were no more photoshoots, no fashion shows and everything got shut down. It was bad for sure.
"KNOW WHO YOU ARE"
"ATTEND MODEL CLASSES"
Photo cred: Unlimited Movement
5. Advice to other models? So my simple advice to all the models, build your confidence in any way you see you can. Attending modeling classes doing rehearsals; take part in paying shoots and fashion shows.
