Aren’t you sew over it?

Hanger Management is for the overdressed and underrated. We’ll be discussing the African fashion landscape from past to present, yelling at the sun, turning green and hopefully realising the threads that connect us all. Discussing sewing, traditional crafts and African fashion history to find and share new perspectives on how we use fashion to engage with the world and each other for a better, more sustainable future.

I’d love to hear from you, especially, about your favourite designers, hot goss, industry insights, or even the jersey your granny knitted 20 years ago.

About me, Khensani Mohlatlole

A Johannesburg girl who’s never met a pun she didn’t like. I’m a relic and the scariest part of the future. I’ve been working in and around fashion for over 6 years, having tried my hand at everything from styling to writing to entrepreneurship and world domination. Now I’m mostly happy talking about sustainability and local fashion, making silly cosplays, pretending to be an African Fashion historian on my podcast, Clothes Minded, and wishing my cats would let me crochet them matching jerseys.

Twyg Magazine's 2021 Sustainable Fashion Influencer of the Year who's also written for Wanted Online, Bubblegum Club, Arts24, Industrie Africa, and Rich Mnisi, along with being featured in Elle Magazine South Africa, i-D, Design Indaba, HON by AFI, Shelflife, and Wikimedia.

Ready for some hanger management?

Hanger Management is free today, tomorrow, and probably every day after that since media platforms rarely recognise African bank accounts. Of course, as a girl boss building her empire, putting together this newsletter, a podcast and the rest of my content does take a lot of time, research and resources.

So, if you’re willing and able, you can support me financially through Buy Me A Coffee, a secure online tip jar where you can donate any amount at any time. Your contributions go towards media paywalls, academic database subscriptions, research, paying the lovely people who help me, materials for craft projects, and the odd (and much needed) beer.

Let’s be friends

While I’m notoriously bad at texting, I’m a great email pen pal. If you ever wanna swap hot goss, share cool articles or talk about things that make your friends’ eyes glaze over, you can pop me an email.

Otherwise, I’m always on that damn phone on Instagram sharing my sewing projects, thoughts and ramblings, and updates on this newsletter.

Wanna work together?

I love to increase shareholder value. I’m super locked in all the time. I’m available for writing commissions, online content creation, speaking engagements, and consulting on sustainable fashion, South African pop culture, and fun things to do in Johannesburg this weekend.

For the foreseeable future, I am not available for costume commissions unless you’re working on a really cool movie or music video. Email khensanimoh@icloud.com to chat x
