ED’S LETTER

Glamour South Africa

LOOK

Made in Africa • The Handmade Contemporary (HmC) Fair is an annual exploration of the finest in product design and craftsmanship that the African continent has to offer.

Simply Beautiful • If it’s gorgeous you’re after and quality and flair you resonate with, then we know just the place for you to celebrate the finer things in life.

THE SHAPE OF BRAVERY • We explore the work of Botswanaborn jeweller Onê Rapelana and her award-winning brand, Xita. Her concept is wearable art, handcrafted from faux-leather, which explores the power of shape and colour. Inspired by her environment, she makes jewellery for the bold, brave and unapologetic African woman.

(In) Difference • There’s nothing more classic than a white shirt – no matter the texture style or weather outside, trust us when we say that investing in a clean button-up is an absolute must.

PAN-AFRICAN Carol Bouwer Bags x Dr Esther Mahlangu • CELEBRATING SOUTH AFRICA’S RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE AND HONOURING A PIONEER OF ART, LUXURY AND CULTURE.

Wide legs • Pants receive a comfortable yet refreshing update this season. As seen on the runways, this chic trend is effortless for either work or dinner dates with the girls.

Powder-blue • From street style to in stores, we’ve witnessed this elegant and classic colour take over – and we’re more than delighted. Baby blue is a hue that can easily transition from summer to winter.

Demin rules • Ditch super-skinny, tight, low-cut jeans and embrace the more relaxedfitting, high-waisted version, from mom jeans to boyfriend fit and wide leg.
