These I See a Different You photographs on Tumblr feature a fashion aesthetic as much as they do the urban Soweto landscape in which they were shot. South Africa (namely Capetown) is one of the most stunning destinations of my life, and seeing what the kids there do creatively continues to boggle my mind. Having just this morning read FT.com article South Africa's Love-Hate Relationship with Capetown detailing the complicated racial politics of that place, it's cheering to see young black people transcending a culture of acrimony and continuing to do their thing against all odds.
