Milisuthando Bongela Reviews Sharp Sharp, South Africa: Street Style by Ed Suter

Sharp Sharp, South Africa: Street StyleVerdict: stick

The luminous soft cover of photographer Ed Suter’s Sharp Sharp, South Africa Street Style (Quivertree) has an immediate and jarring effect on the senses. So bright are the colours that the book screams: “Judge me by my cover!”

I do a quick flip through the book, the shape and size of the Bible, to seek clues to who Suter is and where his book belongs in the bigger scheme of local fashion, photography and art. And although its colourful brashness begs a special place on the shelves, this one is going to need time to establish its vintage status.
