#TOPSWAG Search







Yesterday Pose got invited to attend the CSquared exclusive elite selection of Media and the who's who of Fashion to join them at 15 on Orange Hotel for an intimate Soiree to Launch South Africa's most exciting menswear campaign: CSquared #TOPSWAG Style Icon Search Groomed by L'Oréal Men Expert. Served on arrival was red/white wine with canapes of salmon, mushrooms
and pancakes. An intimate conversation brew between me, Anam, Pam (from CSquared) snakes (Ambassador for TOPSWAG) and nani, surprisingly about the past fashion trends we have experienced in the black society. I cant remember how it all started but as we shared tails of Carvela, FILA, Dockers, Barker shoes , Aca Joe, vertigo I had a sort of epiphany that actually the African society are the worst when it comes to trends and the profits that fashion labels get from us should make them millionaires by now. We as black Africans used to have the "tendency" of being attached to one trend at a time and stick to it.
I have to say though that we have come a long way when it comes to fashion. Now-a-days men are the "new girls" as one of the media person said when we had our Q&A with CSquared designer Wayne and GQ men editor. Men are more wary of what they are wearing and how they look, from matching socks with trouser and using facial grooming as GQ editor said.

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.
