Uté

​Meet Uté, who has been on our radar for a while now. She crossed my path in 2014, wearing the most divine polka dot blouse in downtown Cape Town and since then, I have wanted to see the designs she has now finished. When we meet on a hot summer’s day in the central business district in Cape Town, she is vivacious and totally humble about her work. There, on a wooden table, with our prying neighbour watching her in open fascination, she takes out her creations, explaining each to me in intricate detail…I am amazed at the delicate workmanship and her keen eye for making the unimaginable, real. Here are a few images from that day…
