Swedish Sneaker Designer Max Schiller Shares His Jo’Burg Photo Diary Inline
Photo: Courtesy of Eytys1/7A behind-the-scenes image from the Eytys campaign, shot in the streets of Johannesburg CBD, which is an inspiring area. Here are the models Dodo, Didi, and Hakim, who are part of South African design and music crew Boyznbucks. Gabrielle Kannemeyer styled everyone in clothes by local young designers, putting the focus on the creative scene that’s growing underneath the political and economic distress of the city.
Photo: Courtesy of Eytys2/7The day before the shoot we went shopping at the Carlton Centre in central Johannesburg. A busy mall cramped with counterfeit sneakers, Supreme, and HBA stuff.
Photo: Courtesy of Eytys3/7Another iPhone capture from the shoot featuring models Hawa and Hakim. Kristin-Lee Moolman, who shot the story, lives in Johannesburg and knew all the good spots. The full story is being released as a book later this Spring.
