Sonas San Francisco - Patch Work Galore







In 2001 Gerry Kelly ( founder of Sonas San Francisco) bought a pair of vintage patchwork jeans in San Francisco while he was preparing for the party of the year "The Burning Man" which fitted him so well that he decided to wear them every time he went to such events that would accept the look. As we all know, fairy-tales never last and later in his life the pants fell apart and he had to replace them. Without any luck of finding that perfect patchwork, he found himself a seamstress and decided to create his own. That year when he went to "the Burning Man" event with his new recreation of patchwork jeans, he did not expect anything but his new way of patchwork on denim became a hit and this is where it all started. As he just retired from a successful real estate business, he and his wife ( Christine) went to work and and came up with what is considered now in the fashion industry , the classic five pocket masterpiece. He decided to take his small business to the next level but failed at a fashion trade show in L.A. With the courage and help from his wife he decided to continue and after a writer from the show published a picture of the jean in the California Apparel News with just a heading "PATCH PANTS", he got a call from a well exposed L.A designer (Allan Chevalier)




and that was the beginning of the most trending, sexiest, fitted patchwork denim business there is. Now with the likes of Janice Dickinson promoting his work, Gerry's label, Sonas, is to be the only seeked fashion house for patchwork denim.

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...

Mbali Soga appointed as Beauty Editor of Grazia South Africa Mbali studied Journalism at UJ but as she has stated in many interviews, she has always had an eye for Fashion and beauty. She started her fashion career as the Fashion Editor of True Love Babe and progressed to being the Fashion Editor of True Love.
