Blast From the Past! Mamokgethi Phakeng Perfectly Fits In A Stunning Outfit She Wore Over 2 Decades Ago. Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng has been blessed with the best genes ever. On top of that, she takes good care of herself, and often shares content of how she keeps fit. She is also a fashionista,who can pull off any look, thanks to her petite structure. In just a few months, she will be 60, an age that doesn’t suit her one bit.
“The picture (frame 1) was taken in June 2002 during my PhD graduation at Wits. The video (frame 2) was taken last week at the Telkom Her Network.
Same @stonedcherrie design, just twenty-four years apart. It still fits & it is still beautiful.
There is something quietly powerful about returning to a garment that once marked a defining achievement and finding that it still belongs on the body & still holds its own in a new chapter.
Stoned Cherrie was definitely ahead of her time. I remain in awe of that vision.
And I am grateful for the miracle of a body that has carried me this far and for the simple joy of wearing something that has travelled with me across decades of becoming.
Here’s to design that endures, and to women who keep showing up in their own time.
