Jana Hamman wears many hats – designer, artist, brand architect, ceramicist, fashion designer and probably many more that we’re unaware of. She is one half of unisex fashion brand Beau Beau, a lovechild collaborative brand named after her and her co-founder Paige Sher’s nicknames for one another. The brand takes inspiration from each of these 2 Beau’s respective hometown’s – Johannesburg (Jana) and Cape Town (Cape Town).
Perhaps best known for her prolific work and output as part of her brand consultancy Jana + Koos, her ties with our store and our founders runs deep – we’ve been consistently collaborating with her on creative projects since 2013. We asked her our 11 questions to understand how she navigates Cape Town and her world of design.
Jana wears a 1-of-1 Beau Beau twinset, cut from a tie-dyed rayon viscose, paired with the Blue Fur Chubby from Nao Serati. Paige wears the Beau Beau Pocket Polo Dress.
