THE WHY, THE WHICH & the wardrobe

Keneilwe Mothoa

“Wear what you like. If it feels and looks good to you, own it.

Tell us a bit about Neimil.

Neimil is a brand that is centred on design and the sharing of stories that are influenced by African history and heritage. ’The design style is Afro-futuristic and plays on the idea of ‘future nostalgia’; just capturing memories in everything we design.

What are your favourite wardrobe items right now?

I bought a pair of leopard-print loafers from Poetry–something out of my comfort zone but I fell in love instantly–as well as my blue Meadow tassel skirt from Neimil.

What’s one shop you can’t resist popping into?

I don’t really shop a lot. But I can’t resist Zara Home and Weylandts. I like the feeling of being in the stores and feeling textures, sitting on chairs and just exploring.

Which three things are getting a lot of wear?
