SALON/locale cape town : iziko koopmans de wet house

The most exciting fashion show I've ever seen?

The longer I think about it, and the images linger, the more interesting I find it. 

SALON/locale is a Dutch initiative that brings fashion, art, photography, design and culture head to head in a way that seeks to stimulate thought, conversation and a rearranging of preconceived notions.

I find the message personally relevant as my own obsession with fashion is filled with internal debate on the meaning, value and rightful place of apparel in our lives.

Cape Town's SALON/locale puts outstanding South African artists' work into unexpected locations across the city. Patrons walk through the centre of town finding one exhibit after the other in an exploration of contrasting venues, from little known or overlooked cultural monuments to mundane retail spaces.

Apart from the conversation stimulation and pure visual interest of the installations, it also brings a new and different kind of visitor to some of these establishments, opening up a door to an alternative part of the city for locals and tourists alike.

We managed a rushed walking tour within two hours - I'd recommend a more leisurely stroll!

So hurry, take and make the time.

You don't want to miss this most exciting, first Cape Town SALON/locale venture!

maybelline february : glam domestic goddess

For February the Maybelline NY girl goes from Susie homemaker to stir-crazy sexy baker.
She whips up a frenzy in the kitchen and beyond, using pretty purples on eyes and lips.

Susie is such a clever girl, as Colour Plush Silk Eyeshadow in Purple Icon is just the thing to accentuate that cheeky sparkle in her hazel eyes.

In March we'll meet Susie's best friend, Barbarella Barbie, a fashionista from the future!
