Review: SALUTE Streetwear







So a few weeks back I got introduced to a Street wear label by the name Salute. The label launched about 3 months ago after a few months of preparation and executing to the final product. I have to mention that when starting a street label it takes guts and a lot of planning. Nowadays a lot of people launch street wear clothing and most of them don’t succeed due to lack of knowledge, planning, contacts and PR.
The different thing about this label with a lot of other street wear label that I have come to know is that they are passionate and dedicated to their craft. I mean after 3 months of launching, they are national and have great clientele from all over S.A even though they are based in Cape Town. SALUTE Streetwear is an apparel line that offers a variety of clothing items. The designs of the items are inspired by street culture and modern fashion trends.
SALUTE was founded by Lelethu Mantsha and Pallo Mobo in June 2013. A month later, Siyabonga Mavata and Junior Mavata joined as partners and they are living in Midrand. Their responsibilities will be to manage operations in that part of the country when the label expands. 




The merchandise available at present are t-shirts, crewneck sweaters, tank tops and ladies denim shorts. These are available in sizes from extra small to triple extra large.










So far their Milestone has been:
MuthaFM:
Had a radio interview with Kid Cleva on his Wake & Bake show.
AfriFusion:
Got offered space on an online store. An offer which we took. The site will be up by December 2013.
Jam That Session:
We branded Jam That Session hosts for their August edition. Did a promotion as well on a small scale there.






Currently they are in preparation for their debut at the Urban Jungle Designer Mash-up Fashion Show presented Funktion. Their 2013/14 Summer range  is to go the military route with regards to designs and colour scheme, and to go with literal association of the term salute and the army.
I am very eager to see their latest range at the Fashion Show and will update you all with my thoughts after.

Mai Thai Wellness Spa review.

Image
Last week PoseZA was invited to an escape to Paradise in The Heart of Cape Town at the Mai Thai wellness spa in Green Point. Been to quite a few Spa's in my lifetime, its always amazing to find one that takes you on a journey you have never been before. As I got out of the cab, I could see why it has been a jewel for Cape Town as it is a bit hidden but nonetheless when you enter the amazing wooden work door, you are transported to Thailand there and then. The interior is as authentic as Thailand, giving you a beach hotel Spa with an aroma of the sea and an eastern passage using Vuudh's Eastern collection, a very personal experience of travels and recollections of fragrances from each city and giving you an exquisite and exotic touch to enrich your lifestyle. You are then giving a tour to the garden space where you'll relax after your treatments which is beyond words especially when the sun sets and you have candle lights flouting around the main tree. I was given the opti

Fabiani's Sandton Flagship store

Image
As next week is the launch of the Fabiani Canal Walk store, below is a press release and the inside of their Sandton Flagship store as they recently opened it not so long ago. Going through the press release and viewing the pictures, I am excited to see what they have done to the the Canal Walk one. My perception of Fabiani has always been a man that is born with style and not afraid to show it to the rest of the world. A gentleman that has a bit of rough to him but always seems sophisticated on week-days but hits Friday you would see him in golfers/t-shirt with the most impeccable cut of jeans. I can't wait to see how it looks and will give you all the front row seat after. “The Finest Menswear Destination on the Continent” The Sandton City flagship store is a warm, luxurious and sensory space offering customers an exclusive array of fashion, shoes and accessories that celebrate the brand’s dedication to colour, quality and that unexpected pop.
