Glamour South Africa

LOOK

NIQUITA BENTO FOR G-STAR RAW EXCLUSIVES • G-Star Raw’s The Exclusives collection combines denim’s continued influence on artists, musicians and cultural figures from various generations to push the brand’s creative boundaries.

LOGO DETAILS • This season, let your handbag speak for itself – literally. With a fashionable logo, it’s all about letting others know which brand you bought it from. Though they come across as very trend-heavy, logo and monogram bags are unlikely to go out of style.

DRAMATIC DRAPING • Purposefully draped or wrinkled pieces were commonplace in paintings from the Renaissance era. The art of adorning yourself with timeless, romantic displays of ruched and pleated fabrics results in an extraordinary Grecian goddess-like appearance.

RIBBED FOR YOUR PLEASURE • Knit dresses look instantly put-together. Anything but loungewear, they feel as comfortable as sweatpants without sacrificing style.

FASHION RADAR? • CREATIVE. COLLECTIVE. CONNECTED.

JUNGLE FEVER

THE NEW FRONTIER • Sustainable practices are at the forefront of social discourse, and numerous luxury brands are taking a proactive approach to the issue.

spring tide • Saying sayonara to winter layers and embracing the lightness of spring, metaphorically and literally, fills us with excitement. Occasion pieces are no longer for special events but for celebrating everyday wins.

ICE ICE BABY • In the words of Marilyn Munroe, diamonds are a girl’s best friend. They have this hypnotic allure you can’t easily describe and our fascination with and desire for them will never fade.

Chasing • Pan-African fashion designer Mimi Plange on her unconventional style and celebrating individualism.
