Style Inspiration: The Great Gatsby

2013-05-24T23:30:00.002+02:00

Gatsby Fever is everywhere! From the window displays and sneak peeks of the jaw-droppingly gorgeous costumes in the movie, to the star-studded soundtrack and hints of Gatsby-esque style showing up everywhere... I, personally, can't get enough! ...

[via]

Baz Luhrmann's "Great Gatsby" delivers some serious eye candy (in addition to Leo, of course). In line with the era's decadence and glitzy hedonistic romps, the movie will be bursting with color and eye-catching visuals. But most of all, we're excited for the elaborate costumes, hair, and makeup.

Kate Bosworth's First For Topshop

2013-05-16T18:45:00.002+02:00

TOPSHOP has launched a collection inspired by Kate Bosworth. The 16-piece range is designed to be the perfect festival wardrobe, including shorts, dresses, waistcoats and shirts.

"I've always had a love of fashion. To gain learning experience from the Topshop design team has been a great opportunity for me," said Bosworth. "Our intent was to create fresh, wearable, and effortless festival pieces. I am proud of our work together and I adore these pieces, they fit perfectly with the mood of the Topshop Festival collection." ...

The actress' relationship with the high street store started at Christmas, when she sung in Topshop's festive video campaign, shot by her fiancé, Michael Polish. The muse has already worn a few of the collection's new pieces - stepping out in the patterned waistcoat and brown ankle boots at Coachella in April - but she'll offer her take on how to best wear the range through a short interactive film, named The Road To Coachella, once again directed by Polish. Each item featured in the video will be available to buy, including the soundtrack, which users can download from iTunes.

"Kate and I were discussing the summer trends and how she had been one of our inspirations," said Topshop creative director Kate Phelan. "She was here working with us on our Christmas project and the next day Kate came in with all these incredible images and references and shared what her ultimate festival outfits looked like. It is an organic extension of Kate's fashion sense aligned with the Topshop brand - we think that's fresh and exciting."

Topshop's festival celebrations don't end there - the brand will host a series of secret pop-up gigs from exciting emerging talents at various locations all over the world, events open to randomly selected customers. A music partnership is also in the pipeline, with details to be unveiled later this month. I'm just hoping that Topshop South Africa will also be featuring this collection on their shelves (hint hint).

Happy 1st Birthday Grazia SA!

2013-05-09T22:57:00.000+02:00

Break out the champers and grab yourself a slice of red velvet to join in the celebration – tomorrow SA’s first fashion and news weekly celebrates its 1st ever Birthday. And to mark the occasion, Grazia South Africa has enlisted the country’s most talked-about and ultra-stylish celebrity to grace the cover of their birthday issue ...

Hitting newsstands from tomorrow (10 May 2013), Bonang Matheba, the queen of local social media, TV and radio talks to Grazia's Mokgadi Seabi about her reinvention in the special 50th issue of the magazine, which was shot in Sandton by star photographer Aubrey Jonsson ...

Grazia South Africa editor Danielle Weakley says Bonang was the obvious choice not just because of her trailblazing style which has seen her garner countless awards but because the star, who juggles a multitude of gigs from Top Billing and Clash of the Choirs to her popular slot on YFM, is one of the hardest working and most astute young women in the entertainment world today.

“Bonang is everywhere this year – And its only May! With a line-up of TV shows, a slew of weekly appearances, several magazine covers and hundreds of thousands of followers, we predict that her entry on the Forbes List is only the start of her 2013 tour de force” says Weakley.

But what would be a birthday celebration be without a surprise? The birthday edition is a bumper mag – and one of only two issues Grazia will produce as a perfect-bound collectors’ issue. In a further nod to the globally savvy, thirty-something urban readers (who avidly buy Grazia every week to find out what they can add to their wardrobes), the fashion and news weekly has unveiled a brand new website www.graziadaily.co.za and an online Grazia shop at www.spree.co.za/grazia where you don’t even need to leave your desk to shop the looks straight from the magazine.

“We truly believe in the power of Grazia as a 360-degree brand and the idea of being able to shop the mag appeals not just to our brand ethos but also to our fashion-smart, digitally-savvy readers.”

Over just 50 issues, the 21st syndicated edition of this weekly glossy magazine has single-handedly revolutionized the local publishing industry since its launch in May 2012, with other publications following on its stylish heels to cover fashion on a weekly basis.

Out every Friday, Grazia South Africa has quickly gained a reputation for bringing news with shoes and speed with style, week after week.

The Deliciousness of Yogoorus ...

2013-05-06T22:10:00.000+02:00

Yogoorus (pronounced yo-gurus) has launched at Melrose Arch — bringing with it a whole new frozen yogurt taste experience in an exciting selection of 40 flavours and 70 toppings ...

Yogoorus opened its first store in December 2012 at Cedar Square in Fourways where it captivated the young at heart with its ‘serve yourself’, ‘weigh and pay’ concept and delicious product. “Yogoorus is more than mouth-watering magic, it exudes fun too. Customers love the experience of using the machines that dispense swirls of frozen yoghurt and choosing from the vast range of toppings. The selection is then weighed – and priced accordingly,” explains Ruben Schoeman, one of 4 entrepreneurial gurus behind this development, along with partners Manny, Carlos and Joe Pestana.

The flavours range from exotic ‘fruity tooties’ such as watermelon, pomegranate and mango & pine, to ‘wacky ‘n wicked’, which includes Turkish delight, liquorice, white chocolate, and nutty toffee. The toppings include nuts and muesli, daily prepared fresh fruit, chocolate and sweet and sour treats.

Some of the Yummy Toppings ♥

Added to the array of taste sensations available from Yogoorus is a real health benefit. Yogoorus is a healthy treat as the frozen yoghurts are 98% fat-free, they contain live probiotic yoghurt cultures, natural fruit purées, preservative-free flavourings, and premium quality, fresh milk — all of which is sourced locally.

My choice of Yogoorus — Coconut, Peanut Butter & Honey and Watermelon!

Adding further to the fun factor is the appealing retro-slick branding, interior design furnishings, together with large plasma screens featuring music DVDs and high profile sporting events.

[via]

Comments Joe Pestana, “Two of the strongest consumer trends globally are health and indulgence; usually the two don’t go together – but with our frozen yoghurt offering they do. Already the stores are exceeding expectations as customers come back again and again, either to try a new selection or to have another helping of their favourite combination.”

And I will be coming back for the Watermelon Froyo ♥

The Melrose Arch store opened on Saturday 4 May to an unprecedented performance by 1st Project (who are just EPIC) and the pounding sound of Drum Machine, South Africa's only Percussive Performance DJ, with Shannon Ellinas as the man behind the machine. Using a 55-inch transparent Holoscreen, accompanied by 13 light drums and cymbals, he combines the latest in music, technology and percussive showmanship to rock dance floors around the world — dazzling the invited guests at the Yogoorus official launch event.

One of the great international success stories of British fashion, Karen Millen is to open its first store in South Africa in mid-May 2013. Sandton City, Johannesburg has been selected as the place of debut for this latest addition to the House of Busby brand portfolio. Established in 1981 as an independent label, Karen Millen today is an iconic, global brand offering accessible luxury ...

All Karen Millen collections encompass the essential components of a modern wardrobe and are designed to become cherished staples. The pieces have a timeless quality that transcends seasons yet encapsulates trends. Each item is crafted from luxury fabrics with impeccable attention to detail and features the brand’s signature flattering fit. Each collection is created by the in-house atelier, headed up by Gemma Metheringham, joint Managing Director of Karen Millen. This serves to consolidate the brand’s design credentials whilst ensuring that the collections are imbued with the brand’s effortlessly glamorous style. Both Gemma and her team are dedicated to the brand and work across all the Karen Millen lines including apparel, footwear, accessories, jewellery and swimwear, all of which will be available locally. 12 collections are created each season and new items will be delivered to the Karen Millen Sandton City store each week, ensuring that it is the go-to destination for distinctive investment pieces, whether it is for perfectly tailored work-wear, a distinctive dress or a sumptuous leather jacket.

Karen Millen has flagship stores in prestigious fashion cities including London, Madrid, New York, Moscow, Berlin, Sydney, L.A, Hong Kong and Paris; with Johannesburg the latest addition to the ever-growing list.

Internationally renowned celebrities such as Zooey Deschanel, Eva Longoria, Nicole Scherzinger, Christina Ricci, Emeli Sandé, Taylor Swift and Rihanna regularly wear Karen Millen both on and off duty.

For the Spring Summer 2013 season, Karen Millen has focused on creating contemporary collections that are pared-down yet confident. This is reflected in the feminine yet modern creative seasonal campaign, starring Amber Le Bon. There is a clean simplicity to the collection with the emphasis being firmly on modern, urban pieces. Multi-layered rather than thematic, the collection spans soft fluid volume to crisp tailoring, subtle futuristic embellishment to streamlined sportswear, Sixties Modernist influences to Japanese-inspired silhouettes.

Karen Millen's first store in Johannesburg, South Africa, signals the exciting launch of this established international fashion brand offering design-led, attainable luxury for the modern working woman.

Winter shorts are worn with textured and opaque tights, while the wardrobe staple coated denim is refreshed in deep hues of forest green, indigo and burgundy.

Seasonal accessories are textured and tactile. Soft faux fur covers structured handbags and totes, while heavy weave scarves are thick and colour blocked in shades of the collection. Beanies and trappers are a key feature with tassels and embellished details, for a bohemian touch. Elegant leather boots feature in classic black, brown and new merlot, providing the perfect finish to autumn.

Wrangler Product Innovation in Fall/Winter 2013 - Broken Twill

2013-04-17T08:24:00.001+02:00

Established in 1904, Wrangler has crafted many milestones by creating breakthrough innovations in the denim history, including the Wrangler unique seven icons of jeans that repackaged to the market successfully last season. In Fall/Winter 2013, Wrangler introduces “Broken Twill” denim, one of many ground-breaking inventions still playing an important role in the present denim trend...

In the past, denim fabric was weaved with standardized one way of left and right grain; the result that jeans made by fabric in this way encountered a common leg seam-twisting problem.

Aimed at offering the best denim quality to consumers, Wrangler created a breakthrough denim invention in 1964, named “Broken Twill” — the unique zigzag fabric weave that eliminates leg seam-twisting problem even when denim is washed.

This unique “Broken Twill” denim weaving technology has further enhanced the comfort, durability and flexibility of denimwear.

In this season, Wrangler has evolved its signature zigzag-weaved “Broken Twill” to create a modernized and beautifully distressed “Broken Twill” denim collection to give you a character like no other.

“Broken Twill” denim is now available in Stuttafords nationwide.

About Wrangler:

Wrangler is the one of the 3 biggest denim brands with over a 100 years of denim heritage. Founded in the USA in 1904, Wrangler was originally named Blue Bell and has its roots in workwear. It was renamed Wrangler, meaning “working cowboy”, in 1947 and focused on delivering denim innovation and authentic craftsmanship devoted to its denim heritage. The iconic “W” stitch is the signature of Wrangler, distinguishing it from the “Lazy S” of LEE and “double arcuate” of Levi’s.

Check out the Wrangler Fall / Winter 2013 collection at Wrangler stores.

Not content with simply keeping fur and exotic skins out of their stores, Topshop has gone the extra mile by dedicating a whole window display in its flagship Oxford Street store to spreading the message that exotic skins belong in the wild, not in your wardrobe!

This isn’t the first time that Topshop has joined forces with PETA to show its opposition to cruel fashion, and we’re sure it won’t be the last! So please follow Topshop’s lead and that of countless other ethical companies, designers and fashion icons — pledge to keep wildlife out of your wardrobe:
