A dangerous Habit!

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 10 hours, 37 minutes ago

habits
The most beautiful handbag I have ever owned comes from Habits, the Cape Town store that specialises in on-trend classics for women of every age. It’s a dark brown, postman-style bag that I wear across my body and everybody comments when I wear it. The trick about these bags that are becoming increasingly popular, is a long strap. It’s no use if the bag sits against your waist; it has to hug your hip comfortably. Anyway, Habits is bringing their regular trunk show to Joburg this week, I strongly suggest you go and take a look at what’s there.
The trunk show starts at 7.30 am on Thursday 17th March till 5.30pm and the following day from 7.30am to 12. Let me know if you find something you like.

Dig out that camel coat now

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 19 hours, 23 minutes ago

from Style Bubble
We might as well face it, camel is the new black and although the winter collections up north are strictly speaking about NEXT winter’s fashion, I reckon we’ll be seeing a lot of camel about come June and July this year. It’s a great basic colour although it definitely doesn’t suit all complexions – like mine! Think I’ll stick to black.

Ankle alert

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 19 hours, 45 minutes ago

from Vogue.com
There’s something about a naked ankle that I find incredibly alluring – on men and women. It’s particularly sexy on a lace-up shoe, as seen in this pic from Vogue.com. I don’t know what I’m going to do when winter arrives and my ankles start feeling the chill – I just can’t face a sock or stockings again!

I love what our local designers took to Paris – but I’d love to hear what the French thought. Anyone seen any commentary from that side?

McQueen’s last designs

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 4 days, 20 hours ago

from Style.com
The ghostly image of one of Alexander McQueen’s last designs. His collection was 80% complete when he died a few weeks ago and it was shown to a small group of media in Paris earlier today. See www.style.com for all 16 creations. Beautiful but eerie if you ask me.

What Clive took to Paris

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 4 days, 21 hours ago

Clive Rundle
I’ve been dying to see what the South African designers who went to Paris took along to show that discerning fashion crowd. Here’s Clive Rundle with his five mannequins dressed in some of the designs from his last collection. I gather he referred to his ladies as Marie Antoinette returning to Paris after attending a lesbian wedding in Africa!
Eight designers from Africa were hosted in Paris (Other South African designers showing were David Tlale, Lunar and Kluk CGDT. Nigerian designers MOMO, Eyola, Tiffany Amber, Jewel by Lisa also showcased, as well as Eric Raisina from Madagascar and Christie Brown from Ghana). One of the African designers is going to be selected to actually show their collection at Paris fashion week in September. Any suggestions who that may be?

A few South Africans in Paris

Arise magazine took a few South African designers to Paris last weekend to exhibit at Paris Fashion Week. Team SA consisted of Clive Rundle, Karen Ter Morshuizen from Lunar, David Tlale and Malcolm Kluk and Christiaan Gabriel du Toit from Kluk CGDT – and Jan Malan and Juanita Daniel who put the show together.
We’ve yet to get news of any major deals going down, but they were definitely hob-nobbing with the best.
Pictured above are (top) David Tlale, Jan Malan and Juanita Daniel with the godfather of French fashion Didier Grumbach and (bottom), Jan introduces him to Clive Rundle.
As head of the French Fashion Federation M. Grumbach can make or break your career in that town.
I hope to post some pictures of their fashion soon.

Glamorous but boyish

I loved these looks from the Balmain show in Paris this week. Really wearable smart casual looks that most of us could recreate with what we have in our wardrobe – or can at least with smart finds from vintage shops.

The serious fashion crowd

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 6 days, 20 hours ago

There are some who say that Carine Roitfeld, editor of French Vogue, is about to seize power from Anna Wintour. Here she is pictured with Conde Nast boss Jonathan Newhouse (top picture) at the annual Vogue dinner held during Paris Fashion Week. Some also say she’s the most stylish woman alive – I find her look a bit “dark” and those eyes too forbidding.
I loved this pic of Scott Schuman (aka The Sartorialist) and his blogger girlfriend Garance Dore at the same dinner (bottom pic) – he’s so petite!
