SAMW A/W 2018

Men. Men. Men. Fashion, conversations, cheers. I'ts that time again. Two more days and South African Menswear Week kicks off with a offsite, invite only show by Dicker, while the rest of us await the next day which will be the official media and public kickoff for menswear week. I am super excited to see my favorite designers A/W collections and what they have in store for us this time around. Last year, my breath was taken by a couple of designers which i have great relationship with now and have worked with on my soon-to-be released visual coffee book. Before I mention them, another great initiative coming to SAMW by one of the best menswear bloggers in Southern Hemisphere on my account, Monde Mntsi for Renaissance Men SA is Menswear Talks: The Business of Menswear in Africa which you need to RSVP for inorder to secure your seat. I am applauding Monde for taking on such a huge project as I believe is long overdue. It's about time that someone thinks of the people that want to get into the fashion industry, especially menswear. To get people that are at forefront when it comes to menswear to speak and educate the newbies about the industry. A slow applaud starts today for this initiative.
Okay, so here are the designers that I am overly excited to see their A/W collection due to my love for their aesthetic, tailoring, fabric manipulation and ofcourse they are sweethearts:
Friday:
1. Nao Serati 2. MAXIVIVE 3. ALC MAN 4. IMPRINT
Saturday:
1. Zeitgeist 2. Rosey & Vittori 3. Chulaap 4. Young and Lazy 5. Sol Sol 6. 2BOP 7. Good Good Good 8. Tokyo James
This year will be a surprise to many with the looks I will be pulling as they are somewhat different to my last years aesthetic but nonetheless I will be giving the people what they want. Here are some of the looks I did last year:

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.
