A star studded red carpet affair at the Rotunda in Camps Bay, sets to launch the fashion scene fiercely into 2012! Fashion designers Malcolm Kluk, CGDT, Craig Port, Stefania Morland and Jagadi Haute Couture will showcase their latest trends this February 10th, with SA’s style icon Elana Afrika and Expresso Morning Show’s Katlego Maboe as […]
Heidi Klum is really, really into Halloween. Which isn’t surprising, given that Halloween is when people dress up in revealing costumes for candy, and her career is pretty much dressing up in revealing costumes for money. Except she went non-traditional at her annual Halloween party in Las Vegas, dressing as a terrifying skinless body.
The Foschini Group has withdrawn three T-shirts from their stores after FeministsSA asked its followers to boycott the shopping chain. The reason for the campaign was a series of male t-shirts with slogans such as “I put the STD in STUD, all I need is U” and “You looked better from behind”.
A young fashion designer from Germany has produced the first man-made synthetic fibre entirely without chemicals. And she did it with a staple you can find in your fridge — milk! The fabric is called QMilch, and is made from high concentrations of the milk protein, casein. The best part is that it looks and feels like silk but doesn’t smell.
The video you are about to see is in one word…brilliant. It chronicles the last 100 years in fashion in 100 seconds. Starting on Sept 13, 1911 and running all the way to Sept 13 2011, the actors change costume (and dance moves!) every second to reflect the popular fashion trends of each given year. Make it work!
London has overtaken New York City as the world’s fashion capital for 2011. Given the number of badly dressed folk in the news looting the English capital at present, this may be difficult for the rest of the world to swallow.
Souveneir t-shirts handed out at a rock festival in Gera, eastern Germany, were decorated with skulls, right-wing flags and the words “hardcore rebels,” to appeal to the vaguely neo-Nazi crowd the festival attracts. Except when the shirts got washed, the douchey decorations faded, replaced with anti-extremist slogans.
Australian artist and ‘body architect’ Lucy McRae, in collaboration with Harvard biologist Sheref Mansy, is releasing these little digestible capsules that make human skin emit perfume scents. Which is nice and futuristic, I think. And by futuristic I mean I have no idea how this thing works.
“Ti amiamo, Armani” means (roughly): “We love you Armani, and your timeless style – and we need you to design our tracksuits for London 2012”. That’s what Italy’s Olympic Committee has arranged for the Azzurri for the Summer Olympics next year.
Yay, science. The guys over at Continuum fashion have made the world’s first ready-to-wear, completely 3D printed bikini. It’s called the N12, and it’s pretty cool. Above and beyond it being a sexy-looking bikini, the whole thing is made up of 3D printed pieces that snap together like lego.
Tom Ford is a well-known American fashion designer and the film director of A Single Man – the movie that earned Colin Firth an Oscar nomination last year. And according to Tom, a “gentlemen don’t wear shorts. Unless it is on the tennis court or to the beach. Thoughts?
Oh boy. The Nelson Mandela Foundation, which is apparently under some financial stress, is launching a Mandela-themed designer line, dubbed the 46664 Apparel line. Shwe-shwe material and brightly-coloured golf shirts feature prominently, because that’s what Mandela’s about.
I don’t blame you if that headline seems confusing. There are way too many “wow-factor” words launching at your face at once. It seems impossible and your brain actually shuts down for a moment – an early warning system our bodies have developed over centuries – stopping our heads from exploding. Some of you might […]
I’ve been rolling with a new range of golf shirts of late, thanks to Merchants On Long. You might have seen them before – with the embroided warrior, raising his shield. Very cool vibe, and something you should probably take a look at. They’re 100% cotton, made right here in Cape Town. So not only […]
Here is a behind the scenes video from one of Bigsky Productions’ shoots which took place out in Worcester…..ya I said it, Worcester! Thats pronounced VOES-TER! Don’t be shy to roll that “R.” Its not quite Cape Town but pretty damn close. Check it out after the jump.
One of Cape Town’s most famous and celebrated clothing brands, Dirty South, is back in the mix with an epic new range for summer. Having originally made their name in the trucker cap market, Dirty South has progressed into a slick streetwear brand, offering some of the best-cut T-shirts you’ll ever find. That’s why it […]
In a shockingly innovative move, Dutch clothing company Suit Supply has released an ad campaign showing ruggedly handsome men wearing suits while in the company of half-naked women. Now everybody’s buzzing about how sexist the campaign is, which I’m sure has Suit Supply’s advertising department terribly upset. Maybe they’ll ask some half-naked women to calm them down. Careful, it gets quite steamy after the jump…
Steady and The Film Guy shot this little vid for Sloggi Underwear. They sent it with the caption, “though you might enjoy.” THOUGHT? MIGHT? Give me a break – you should’ve just written “You love this – FACT” before I had even seen it. And that lovely blonde lass in the video? Wow – very […]
My God but the internet is on form today. It delivered unto me an email from Devon someone or other, to do with “hipster bashing.” Well, well, well, I thought to myself. What do we have here? I gave it a whirl and, JEEPERS HUDDERS, it is something quite special. I’m sure some of it […]
Woah! I was more than over-the-moon when this little video appeared in my inbox. I have no idea if it is purely on the web or if it’s on TV as well, but one thing is for sure, it’s RED HOT! Check out this ad for Woolworths Distraction Lingerie: Well done, Woolies – now you’re […]
China is suffering under the weight of a societal malaise. And this time it’s not due to the influence of the Great Western Devil. In the sweltering heat of summer, when the refreshing breezes desert the city, Hu Lianqun absent-mindedly reaches for a solution: He rolls up his shirt to expose his belly, often fanning […]
