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.

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...

2022 Met Gala Review.......

 So another year, another Met Gala event to review. I must say the celebrities brought it to the red carpet at this year's outing. I was mostly impressed that most of the attendees at the event actually stuck to the theme which was Gilded Glamour . I have compiled a small edit of my favourite looks. I must say I was disappointed that Rihanna did not grace the red carpet but the Met Museum did pay tribute to her in the best way possible with a fabulous statue, how fitting for the queen of the Met Gala.
