Say Hello to Stylish men's swimwear: Garwood & Grace

Her inspiration and reason as to why a woman would rather do male swimwear than female, she explains: “When Simon, my husband and “the business brain behind the brand”, and I moved to Cape Town two years ago, we noticed that most men are wearing baggy, unflattering board shorts. As a result, Garwood & Grace came about because I wanted to introduce a tailored, European sensibility to South Africa’s beaches with swim shorts that will be equally at home at a beach bar or restaurant.”
Alston partnernership with Calum Harvey, a fellow graduate of the Royal college of Art and his aesthetic on design and relying on his experience as a menswear designer for the likes of Christopher Raeburn, Burberry and Paul Smith gives their range of tailored, quality swim shorts a distinct St. Tropez juststepped-off-my-yacht appeal, which is not surprising given founding partner Tiphaine Alston’s credentials: a BA Hons from the UK’s Ravensbourne College, a Masters at the Royal College of Art in London and work experience and commissions from Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Roksanda Ilincic and Victoria’s Secret. A pair of Garwood & Grace swim shorts offers more than making a stylish impression though. The fabric, a top quality polyamide imported from Europe, has been chosen for its ability to dry quickly, which means it does not cling long after a swim like a typical pair of board shorts. It is colour-fast too to last many South African summers.
Alston explains the difference between the two styles: “The Clifton is best for a tan and the Camps Bay for spending the day around Cape Town, not just on the beach.” With a view to the future, “Garwood & Grace has big plans. In time, we will introduce a range of women’s swimwear and resortwear for men and women. We are also looking into accessories for next season,” says Alston.
At the moment, Garwood & Grace is available online at Garwoodandgrace.com. At the moment, Garwood & Grace is available online at Garwoodandgrace.com.

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
