Every once in a while you pass someone on the street or sit next to them and you notice that they have a really cool looking BlackBerry. It has vivid colors or a crazy wallpaper and you think to yourself: “I wish my device looked like that”. Now most of the custom BlackBerry models you will see floating around the city are actually modified devices. Whether they have been dismantled, sanded and painted or had a full casing replacement covered in rhinestones, chances are the owners of these slick looking devices have voided their warranty in exchange for a sense of individuality.


This season ,Custom BlackBerry skins are adhesive backed vinyl pieces which are cut into a template to fit your specific model of BlackBerry. These skins are specifically designed to be applied and removed from your BlackBerry at will. This means you can buy or design a custom skin for your BlackBerry, add it to your device and then when you get bored of it (or want to coordinate with a new outfit) you can peel it off and apply a new one. The custom skins will not leave any residue on your device and will not damage your casing in any way.

The skins available from both companies use the highest quality cast vinyl and guarantee against smudges, smearing and fading over time.

anGener8 brings you super sexy blackberry skins that speak volumes of your sense of style and individuality.They were discovered at the Mt Style Factory Exhibition and since then they have been pimping all Blackberry types and Laptops. Check out a few of their samples .

Ladies will be rocking this summer in the latest shoe range by acclaimed local designer David Tlale in partnership with Luella Shoes, which will be available in Luella stores from this December 2010 and will feature a selection of six styles.



David Tlale makes his return with a must-have collection of shoes that ranges from bejewelled pumps, beaded sandals to ballet pumps that only the King of Fashion can produce.



This follows a successful collection of the Luella/David Tlale Limited Edition which debuted in December 2009.



“We had such a positive response to our David Tlale/Luella fusion shoes last year and the ladies told me how much they love the sexy elegance, not to mention, confidence that collection gave them,” says David Tlale, designer.



“This year, I thought it would be best to continue with that sexy elegance, but give it more comfort and grace,” he adds.

In true David Tlale fashion, the shoes have a daring element to them. Each item is uniquely crafted and styled to perfection with a keen attention to detail.

The David Tlale Collection will be available in select Luella stores this December with prices ranging from R599 to R899.



About David Tlale:
David Tlale is a brand that defies convention and a brand that impenitently employs unpredictable use and understanding of fabric, colour and texture. Since its catwalk debut in 2003, David Tlale has enjoyed outstanding exposure on both local and international catwalks, taking the label to astronomic heights.

David Tlale has since been invited to exhibit his creative talents at other international platforms, including a May 2008 invitation to showcase in Washington DC as part of the De Beers Shining Light Collection.

One of his many accolades includes being voted Star Fashion Designer for the Stars of Mzansi Awards and some of his blessings include designing a showstopper for British supermodel, Jourdan Dunn, which was showcased at Virgin Mobile Cape Town Fashion Week.

Design Extrovert is a Luxury casual clothing lifestyle brand that blurs and pushes the boundary between Design and Fashion by using quirky and contradicting materials at the same time to create a timeless and unforgettable look.
The Design Extrovert look is 3 Dimensional, bold, futuristic, avant-garde, subtle and powerful at the same time. Never mass produced, never blending in; a riotous harmony of design, materials and quality.
Materials from the USA, made in Canada; ready for the world.
Using T shirts as a blackboard to create art, design and glorious bling, it requires taking a second, sometimes third look at the wearer of any of our designs.
You might not get it - but you won’t forget it.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER -Ayodeji Ajidagba

I started out by hand embellishing T shirts with oversized crystals, semi precious jewels and gems and then wearing them to underground parties and raves while living in Toronto Canada. Quickly, I had a loyal following and people started asking for customized and personalized T-shirts. Soon, demand became so great that what began as a small business five years ago has blossomed into a full fledged T shirt line with agency and sales representation in Canada, USA and the UK.

I am a different kind of designer - passionate about design, style and originality. What makes me different? OK, for starters, my clothing designs are handmade and I use unusual and stunning materials like crystals, rubberized embellishments, leatherette, aluminium and treated wood on T-shirts, Polo shirts and Vests. I hand embellish, attach and sew these remarkable and visually arresting 3D adornments to create wearable pieces of art.

Secondly, I limit each design to just a few pieces and sometimes there is just a one-off piece because my designs are never mass produced. I create a new design, put it up for sale and when it’s gone, it’s gone.

Because of my background in interior design and luxury furnishings – facilitated by enrollment in Design Courses at the Centennial College, Toronto and then the prestigious Etobicoke College of Arts, I attend the various major international design shows for inspiration and insight into the design world as a whole. This enables me respond quickly to trends and work with new and interesting materials, fabrics and embellishments. My T shirts are not the “normal” run of the mill printed piece of clothing. That’s too easy.

Rather, I use material and embellishments that would not be out of place on a piece of hanging art.
Pushing the boundary of design has never been an option, it is the only way.
