  Redneks Clothing

  • Cape Town

  • Owner and Designer

    • Jan 2004 - May 2006
    • Cape Town

    "I started Redneks clothing on a whim and thought I could be a fashion designer. I started with mens underwear in funky colours and whacky prints on some hand screen, stenciled and heat transfers. I then ventured into t-shirts, ladies underwear and sweaters. Our brand drew inspiration from simple rough graphics and used imagery that people would usually simply not use. Redneks grew rapidly and was a huge success. We got into massive chain stores, produced thousands of items and I even ended up designing items for a massive lingerie manufacturer. Shortly after though, I decided that fashion was not for me and went straight back into Photography."Redneks featured in several magazine including issues of Elle, Wicked and Salt Water Girl magazines. Redneks was also featured in a popular music video by The Sneaker Pimps.
