PERSON OF INTEREST: IMKHIThA MANI

Hey beautiful people, I hope you are all well and surviving this tough yet beautiful journey called life. I have decided to add a new feature to the blog that will be titled, 'Person of Interest'. This feature is dedicated to individuals who are paving their own way and making a name for themselves in their respective careers.

One of the many images that she has styled

Our inaugural person interest is the talented Imkhitha Mani. The reason why we are profiling is because she is currently a radio disk jockey at In4Radio, a fashion stylist and she has great style to top it all off. She credits her love of fashion and her entry into fashion styling to her mother as she was a designer. She states that " I was always around fabric and I saw how she was a visionary in changing spaces so I gravitated towards the fashion but on a conceptualizing aspect , hence styling" when she describes how her mother introduced fashion to her.

She is a genius behind the mic

When it comes to the challenges that come with being a stylist, she states that the fashion styling industry in Port Elizabeth is very small. She then goes on to describe the style of Port Elizabeth residents, as that they are "very stylish but they are not trend setters and that the bay fashion scene is very relaxed". As a stylist Imkhitha has worked with a large number of notable Port Elizabeth - based brands from Feelings of the Red Heart, Tsoofi. She has also added working with creative and popular disk jockey Sam Jennings on a 90's themed photo shoot for the one year anniversary of the Sam Jam sessions.

Her take on styling the white tee

The future is very bright for Imkhitha as she is currently working with variety of designers regarding collaborations for an emerging clothing line. We can also expect a t-shirt line towards the end of the year. It seems the future is very bright for this fashionista.

Can a reality show thrive without the drama?

Image source: X (@NowInSa) It can be said that the ultimate ingredient to every reality show is drama but is The Mommy Club: Sugar and Spice proving that wrong? In a perfect world when asked ‘Why do you watch reality television shows’ we might be quick to say we watch those shows because of the insights into the different lives and cultures of the cast members and so forth but if we are honest, it is the ongoing drama and conflict that has us tuning in to every episode of that specific shows. The reality show that is changing it all These reality shows such as The Real Housewives franchises, The Mommy Club franchise, Big Brother etc. are what we call our guilty pleasures. There is a new debate of whether reality tv can educate without the mess of drama, which was brought forward by one of these shows, The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice which is ...

Roundup: ‘Blood Legacy’

The latest release from Gambit Productions ‘Blood Legacy’ has just rightfully earned its spot on the list of the productions that have set the bar amongst this year’s releases with its stellar cast and quality production aesthetic that has had South Africa buzzing with excitement. You know those goosebumps you feel after watching a trailer for an upcoming Netflix or Showmax release, that is what I felt after I watched the trailer for Blood Legacy for the first time. The show which is set in Durban lived up to the standards that were set by the trailer. A great cast is the key ingredient The first aspect of the show that grabs your attention when you watch the first episode is the amazing casting. The combination of the legendary, veteran and the up-and-coming actors that we are lucky to have here in South Africa can be found on the show. The legendary would be the late Connie Chiume and Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, the veterans would be Xolile Tshabalala, Pallance Dladla, Enhle...

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Love Story is coming......

So Shondaland and Netflix have finally decided to release the trailer for the much anticipated Bridgerton prequel revolving around the origins of one of the show’s beloved character, Queen Charlotte and her marriage with King George. The trailer for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Love Story gave all the titilating snippets that one could have asked for as we see how the king and queen met (which was through an arranged marriage). We also get to see the turbulent times during the royal marriage as Charlotte had to adjust to the English court as she was originally from Germany and their crowning. The statement from the studio and streaming service did state that Lady Bridgerton and Lady Danbury will also be included in the show. The trailer does show a younger Lady Danbury (excellent casting btw) however we do not get a glimpse of Lady Bridgerton. I will definitely be watching when the show premieres on Netflix on 4 May. Check out the trailer below
