The who’s who of fashion gathered in Cape Town last week for the 2023 SA Menswear Week (SAMW) two-day extravaganza, hosted on the 29th and the 30th of September. Over the years, South African Menswear Week has been Africa’s only stand-alone platform dedicated to the development and promotion of menswear within the African continent. Taking place twice annually, SAMW aims to provide a world-class platform for menswear designers and brands to showcase their latest collections.
Following virtual award presentations due to the COVID-19 19-pandemic, this year’s black-and-gold-themed South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas) was the first one back with an in-person awards show after three years.

Following three jam-packed weeks of runway shows, presentations, and soirees, we’ve finally reached the end of the road in Paris.

If Milan was all about debuts, then this week in the French capital will be characterised by good-byes.
Following the glamorous exhibitions at New York Fashion Week, all eyes turned to London on September 15, as it unfurled a week of unparalleled elegance.

What’s the best part about receiving a party invite? Getting dressed up, of course. But, let’s be honest: parties can be one of the hardest briefs to dress for. A good soirée is an opportunity to be daring with your look, or don something sultry that wouldn’t exactly feel at home during the daytime. That being said, if you plan to spend the night dancing the night away, you want to look alluring yet comfortable, right?
The world of fashion operates in its very own little bubble: escapist, always fabulous, and often far removed from the mundane. Every week, we’re flooded with so many images on social media that it can be dizzying to try and keep up.

After a cold and lengthy winter season, spring is finally on the horizon! Expectedly, warmer weather calls for us to swap out our bulky winter wardrobe for the light and airy clothes we’ve kept packed away for months. The thought of lightening our load is enticing enough on its own, but we’re also looking forward to reassessing our collections and incorporating the top spring fashion trends into our outfits. For spring 2023, there is plenty to add to the mix.
Whether she’s putting on a five-star performance on stage or posing in a picturesque photoset on the Gram, Amapiano starlet Pabi Cooper knows how to pull off a street-style montage. Her off-duty superstar uniform is one where modish pieces shine – think ‘90s mini skirts and trendy fashion staples, combined with a solid foundation of wardrobe essentials. What catches our attention the most, however, is her usage of statement outerwear as the ideal outfit topper.
