Label Text:A self-proclaimed “creative activist,” Nkhensani Nkosi of Stoned Cherrie evinces South African political nostalgia and black consciousness in this ensemble by pairing a Drum T-shirt with a traditional, and distinctly South African, Tsonga skirt. Drum was popular in the mid-20th century for its celebration of black culture and discerning coverage of the emerging anti-apartheid movement.
