Our issue 81 cover star – Yousra Mohsen, is the face of Karoline Lang’s latest collection but, instead of featuring front and centre as she did last season, this time, the young, gorgeous and highly talented dancer is teaching a class of untrained women how to move, in unison and without inhibitions to Mashrou’ Leila’s […]
It turns out that a measly one per cent of the world’s clothing is recycled. But that’s about to change with Circulose, a brand new textile from Swedish company Re:newcell, who have found a way to take old cotton and break it down to a molecular level, and then rebuild it into a pristine new […]
Opened this past May, Cheetah Plains is the newest addition to the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve that borders Kruger National Park. Remarkably, it takes the safari to a whole new level of sophistication with a set up that comprises three unconventionally modern, even vaguely brutalist, exclusive use, four-suite villas. Each suite comes with a king-sized […]

The McLaren 720S is the new benchmark of supercars, beating the best of what Ferrari and Lamborghini have to offer with a wider breadth of ability. That’s quite something considering the company has only been around eight years. (Okay so they’ve actually been around as a race team since 1963, but only began making road […]
My interview with Blankpage gets off to an unsettling start.

It was there that she says found her calling and decided […]
Named after Man Ray’s mistress, Kiki De Montparnasse is a NYC-based brand of high-end ‘sensual’ products. And while you could probably imagine the kind of the items they stock (things like lingerie, body oils, ticklers and toys) some, like this 10,000 USD chess set will take you by surprise. That’s because it comprises 32 matte […]
Spirited prints, vibrant embroidery and cheeky silhouettes give All Things Mochi a distinctiveness all its own – you’ll know it when you see it. It’s hard to put Mochi in a box. At first glance, Ayah Tabari’s designs look colourful, ethnic and destined for life’s more playful moments. But upon closer inspection, the collection reveals […]
