There is something rather fitting about Gert-Johan Coetzee finding his way into fragrance at a time when so much of his life has been about learning to slow down.
The NYFW is in full effect, and somewhere between the established houses and the season’s familiar names, Kai Cenat has made a particularly interesting entrance. Not as a streamer who happens to have a clothing line, but as a creative willing to step away from the thing that made him famous and see what else he could become. At Cipriani in Lower Manhattan, VIVET presented its Spring Summer 2027 debut as a three-act study of evolution, moving through menswear, womenswear, footwear and leather goods. The significance was less about a celebrity entering fashion than it was about watching a creator translate an identity built on the internet into something physical, tactile and deliberately made.
Born from a conversation between two sisters, Ghanaian label Winara Woman is creating a wardrobe for women who refuse to be reduced to a single version of themselves.
A woman can be many things at once. She can be commanding and soft, understated and magnetic, impeccably polished at noon and gloriously dressed by night. Winara Woman understands this duality and has built its entire fashion proposition around it.
Fashion has always been more than what we wear. At its most compelling, it becomes a language through which identity, memory and culture can be expressed. For South African jazz legend Selaelo Selota, that idea forms the foundation of THRRR…PHAAA!, a new African street-luxury label translating his artistic world into fashion.
The OVO Sound singer reflects on the music that shaped her, the milestones her younger self dreamed of, finding freedom in new sounds and learning to appreciate the woman she is becoming.

What happens when luxury beauty meets cutting-edge science? At L’Oréal South Africa’s Centre of Excellence for African Beauty Science in Midrand, Lancôme recently opened the doors to its world of innovation with The Open Lab by Lancôme, an intimate experience designed to take media and creators beyond the traditional beauty launch and into the science behind its latest skincare breakthrough, Génifique Ultimate.
With 27 years of research behind it, Lancôme’s latest Génifique serum puts skin repair at the centre of the conversation around healthy, youthful-looking skin.
For years, the language of anti-ageing skincare has revolved around prevention: protect against environmental stressors, smooth fine lines, boost collagen and preserve firmness. But what if the future of youthful-looking skin is less about preventing every sign of damage and more about helping the skin recover from it?
With deconstructed denim, handwoven Ghanaian textiles and a taste for the subversive, David Kusi Boye-Doe is building a fashion house that looks backwards only to move forward.
Forget everything you think you know about African luxury. BOYEDOE is not interested in simply translating heritage into beautiful clothes. The Ghanaian label is pulling heritage apart, turning it inside out and reconstructing it into something sharper, stranger and decidedly of the now.
After loss, betrayal and motherhood, Rethabile Khumalo finds clarity in grief and rediscovers the voice she once knew — and the future she now wants to build.
There is a version of Rethabile Khumalo the public remembers — the young woman whose powerful voice introduced her to the country, whose songs became the soundtrack to celebrations, whose star seemed destined to keep rising. But the woman who sits across from me today feels different. Not because success has changed her, but because life has.
