We are delighted to welcome DISCO CREATIVES at GoSee. The agency from Cape Town with Managing Director Nina Petersen represents artists in the areas of photography, creative direction, cinematography, multi-disciplinary work, styling and hair & make-up. Plus, DISCO CREATIVE has an excellent network and supports productions on location in Cape Town and throughout South Africa. In the affiliated studio DISCO CASTING, directors are responsible for putting together the perfect casts for photo and film productions for clients such as TOYOTA, NEW BALANCE, RAY BAN, ZALANDO, APPLE or HERMES.
With stylist Peter GEORGIADES on board, DISCO CREATIVES represents an artist who is equally thrilling and dynamic. Following his education in Art Direction and Graphic Design, he assisted Patti Wilson, Editor-at-Large of VOGUE ITALIA, during his five-month stay in New York and worked with Lady Gaga, Daphne Guinness and Steven Klein for the 99th issue of V MAGS as well as with Susanne Bartsch for VOGUE ITALIA.
Back in Cape Town, he styled for TV commercials, music videos, advertising jobs and editorials for Paper Magazine, Schön Magazine, FGUK, Pansy Magazine, Pressure Paris, Vanity Teen, The Lake and Nataal. Peter has already styled campaigns for Hugo Boss, Nicholas Coutts, Klûk CGDT and SCAR Salon. He was most recently responsible for the modern look of RICH MNISI’s new Mafamba Yexe S/S ‘22 collection, which DISCO CREATIVE presents you as an introduction here on GoSee.NEWS.
We quote the PR text for the collection : “An empty universe is a lonely place – even for a god. In a continuation of his explorations of the origins of Bumba, the vomiting creation god of Congo’s Bushongo mythology, Rich Mnisi takes us on a journey of self-discovery in S/S ‘22. This collection, Mafamba Yexe, finds its inspiration in a microscopic view of Bumba’s purge, made up of cells that, like so many others, split apart to multiply. Pain on the outside, pain on the inside, discomfort everywhere. From this discomfort, cells made echoes of their own likeness, and Bumba birthed the world. In every world, microscopic and universal, discomfort was the channel from loneliness to community. From strangeness to connection, to reflection, and eventually, to self-discovery… ”
