Roundup of SA A/W Menswear Fashion Week


Hello darlings so this past weekend I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity that most girls would kill for, to work backstage at SA A/W Menswear. It was definitely an experience I would not have traded for anything in the world.



The collections were fabulous. The most notable collections that left a distinct mark in my mind would be those of Quiteria, ThrowAwayTwenty, Richard Hoy, XM Creations and Masa Mara. These collections were each great in their own way because they forced the fashion-lover who attended the event to think consciously about the breakdown of the barriers that used to restrict the consumer about what would be considered ‘suitable’ for men to wear.

The majority of the shows saw the male models wearing skirts, feathers and carrying bags. This is a sign that currently anything goes when it comes to menswear. This is something I aim to fully embrace especially because I am proud to say that the fashion crowd at the event fully inspired me to let go of my own personal inhibitions when it comes to the way that I embrace fashion.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Simon and Deiner who presented me with the fabulous opportunity to work at the event. I must say that the event was professionally put together. They definently deserve the title of one of the biggest fashion show production company in South Africa.

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 a spinoff f

The 'revolt' against Beyonce

It is no secret that the release of a Beyonce album whether it is pre-announced or a surprise drop is bound to get the masses talking.The water-cooler talk can be both positive or negative.  This is seemingly the case with the upcoming release of the second act, Cowboy Carter  in the three act Renaissance series that Beyonce has gifted us with. The alternative album cover. Image via X @ColumbiaRecords The Cowboy Carter album sees the reigning queen of music exploring a genre which is not new within her discography and that is country music. This innovative move has sparked praise and criticism alike. The argument brought forward by the critics, most recently Azealia Banks, who is known for her very outspoken opinion, is that Beyonce is using 'victim mentality' to promote the album and to enter a market that will never embrace her. It can be said that her foray into country music has not been greatly welcomed by the listeners of the genre.  This resulted

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF DURBAN STATE OF AFFAIRS

The fourth season of The Real Housewives of Durban has not failed to deliver drama-filled episodes. The Durban based segment of the Real Housewives franchise is definitely in the frontrunner to be considered the leading African installment. The show has been getting viewers talking since it made its debut in 2021 and every season has delivered when it came to shade, drama and of course fabulous fashion. We are currently on episode 11 of the fourth season and there is much to dissect regarding the happenings of this season. 1. The ladies divided We left the group at the end of season 3 divided between Team Sorisha (Sorisha, Maria, Slee and Annie) and Team Nonku (Nonku & Jojo). The new season introduced three more ladies to the mix of the already divided circle. The new additions easily fitted into the group where most of them naturally gravitated towards the resident Queen B, I mean Sorisha. This was without the exception of Zama who ironically had been introduced to the group by S
