Asking a guy to dress his girlfriend is difficult. Asking a guy to dress his super fashionable girlfriend is a much bigger ask.
Luckily, fine artist Rodan Kane Hart and girlfriend Ceili McGeever share very similar tastes and design aesthetic.
This is part 2 of a series where we asked 4 Cape Town guys to dress their stylish girlfriends for a day. See part 1 here.
Ceili's normal style:
Rodan dressed Ceili in:
- a high-waisted pair of black pants
- a tight-fitting back knit top
- a colourful retro-inspired neckscarf
- chunky black lace-ups

I selected the items of clothing for Ceili as my personal fashion preferences lean towards classic, neutral and sophisticated. I for one, only utilise a small pallet of colours and tones. I feel clothes become a true reflection of one’s aesthetic sensibilities, not only servicing how one is portrayed to others, but how one feels about themselves. - Rodan
I would describe my style as something along the lines of contemporary classic, classics with hints of current, on trend pieces. My fashion aspirations have always looked towards the “London it girl look” i.e. a ‘90s Kate Moss, '00s Sienna Miller and Alexa Chung. I live in high-waisted jeans (the safety net!), lace-ups and often opt for plain t-shirts on a day-to-day basis. Dressing up a bit more, I’m always drawn to lush fabrics, sparkly items and good jackets. - Ceili
Rodan on what he’d like to see Ceili more in: I would like to see Ceili in more classic garments, although she certainly has a unique style of fusing modern classics, i.e.‘70s glitz and ‘90s neutrals with current trends. I personally am not one for sporty apparel and would like to see her wear less trainers.
I don’t like wearing too much black when the sun's out, so that would be my only gripe with this outfit. The sun highlights the different shades of black in each fabric which I find myself quite aware of in the light of day. The high-waisted pants would’ve been something I would've chosen, and I liked that he chose the scarf to break the black slightly. - Ceili
