Dive into a world of fashion and styling with them/2wo

 

Them/2wo: A Fashion and styling collective

 

The morning cruise was joined by two young creatives, Mikhail Brown and Naledi Radebe, the founders of a Digital fashion and styling collective called them/2wo. Them/2wo is an Instagram-based editorial platform where you see Mikhail and Naledi experiment with many genres ranging from club kid chic to avant-garde couture.

Although both individuals currently reside in Johannesburg, Naledi and Mikhail spent the first few years of their youth growing up in Cape Town before moving up North with their families. Before founding them/2wo, Naledi and Mikahil worked predominantly in the media industry with Mikhail writing on politics and fashion for the Sunday Times and Naledi being a presenter for BET (entertainment and lifestyle). The work does not end there for the creative pair, just a week ago, Naledi and Mikhail had a very productive week in Cape shooting and gathering some significant content for their preview of Season 3 by them/two. Keep a look out for that on their socials.

When asked about the work they have, Naledi replied “ We are typical millennials, we are everywhere at once. Khusi then followed up by asking whether they are coping with the workload which Naledi replied “ You have to be aware of the pressure we are under as millennials, especially as creatives because you are never sure when your next project will be” - a powerful statement by Naledi. Mikhail was then asked how them/2wo was started and he replied by saying “ Them/two was started as a reaction to the fall of paper outlets” - and in the midst of covid, that is where it all began. You can now find Mikhail and Naledi bending genres of fashion and style to make it their own and the most beautiful thing is, that it is presented to the viewers via their Instagram page “@them/2wo”.
