HERE IS NO COLOUR that holds quite as much depth as the colour blue. It has inspired painters, musicians, and dreamers alike. It stretches into infinity as the tranquil depths of the ocean and the sky, representing something deep, inspiring, and unknown.

It is the melancholy lament of Louis Armstrong asking: “What did I do to be so black and blue?” over his trumpet.

It is John Coltrane beckoning you to take a musical journey with him on The Blue Train, and Miles Davis inviting you to experience his genius on one of the most definitive jazz offerings of our time, Kind Of Blue.

Blue holds a rich history through the many shades it comprises. In ancient Egypt, it was associated with the reverence of the Nile, and with the god of air and wind, Amon, whom many artists have depicted with cerulean skin. Celtic warriors were also known to adorn their chests in this shade with various symbols when stepping into battle.

In the 1960s, artist Hans Hoffman developed the Push-Pull Theory of Abstract Expressionism, which sought to describe how artists use blue to give the impression of a blot of paint appearing further away from another. Blue has been a shade central to the work of several artists.

Between 1901 and 1905 Pablo Picasso went through his Blue Period, during which time he painted pictures only in shades of blue. His work during the Blue Period was mostly a reflection of the melancholy and difficulty he was experiencing in his own life, and included several posthumous images of his poet friend Carlos Casagemas.

And then there was Henri Matisse, a true spirit of his time. His famous blue, nude, cut-out paintings were a tribute to French artist Cézanne and inspired by art and sculptors encountered in Algeria.

The most famous example of blue became synonymous with the French artist Yves Klein and, more recently, British sculptor Anish Kapoor sought to isolate the perfect blue pigment.

This season, fashion is having its own blue moment, and shades of azure, indigo, navy, and teal appear prominently in Salvatore Ferragamo, Boss, Kenzo, and are a highlight in many other collections.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, COVERSHOT! Who better than Pretty Little Liars actress and makeup chameleon Shay Mitchell to front the new Smashbox Covershot eye palettes that have a pigment for every mood.

The six palettes comprise a wardrobe of eyeshadows. Try Ablaze, a palette of red sunset tones, to incorporate the red shadow trend into your look, or the Soft Light palette for a barely there iridescent eye of rose and champagne tones. Smashbox Covershot Eye Palette in Golden Hour, R650; Smashbox Covershot Eye Palette in Metallic, R650

EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED L’Occitane’s latest offering, Terre De Lumière, is inspired by the light of the golden hour in Provence. The scent of this range combines a selection of notes to create a mood rather than showcase one specific element . This is a carefully crafted, gourmand-aromatic fragrance: the notes build from fresh top notes of bergamot and pink pepper to more musky base notes of bitter almond essence, white musk, and tonka bean to depict the evolution of light from dusk until dawn.

uxury labels always need to find new and interesting ways to convince consumers to engage with their latest collections. The short fashion film has come into its own — not only does this medium allow brands to advertise their clothes in more innovative ways, but it also allows them to tell stories through their collections, while tapping into the social capital of the greatest artists, influencers, and activists of our time.

PRADA, PA S T F O R WA R D Fast-forward to the present season and Miuccia Prada has roped in David O Russell (Silver Linings Playbook and The Fighter), who wrote and produced a black-and-white, silent short for the brand’s Spring/Summer ’17 collection. In this short, called Past Forward, model Kuoth Wiel and actresses Freida Pinto and Allison Williams star interchangeably as one character.

The casting of three diverse women as the lead of the film was a conscious decision by the director. “It was interesting for me to see three different actors as an experiment in cultural

identity,” he said. The film projects a fine line between futuristic sensibilities, nostalgic dreams, and a frightening present.

O Russell pays homage and makes reference to different artists, from a scene that includes the acting out of René Magritte’s 1928 painting The Lovers II, to the score. which includes music from Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and North by Northwest. The short is shot in various spaces, including an architectural gallery, an airport, and a beach. Prada is available at Diamond Walk, Sandton City sandtoncity.com/store/prada

GUCCI, A H U N G A R I A N D R E A M The Canadian artist and photographer Petra Collins recently made her debut as a director for Gucci eyewear’s Spring/Summer ’17 collection in her A Hungarian Dream. The film, shot in Budapest, reads like a fairytale featuring a group of children whose fantastical imagination takes them from an old living room to a rock concert and the lush Hungarian countryside.

Through Collins’ eye the film gives us an inside look into a surreal journey in an eclectic world of crazy colours, patterns, and memories. Gucci is available at Diamond Walk, Sandton City sandtoncity.com/ store/gucci

Over the years, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon of Kenzo have collaborated with different film makers on various film projects.

There was the collaboration with Gregg Araki, who directed Here Now for Kenzo’s Fall ’15 campaign, which made reference to his ’90s cult Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy. In 2016 the design house brought in Carrie Brownstein — whose directorial debut, The Realest Real, starred Oscar winner Mahershala Ali — for its Fall/Winter ’16 collection.

This time around, for its Spring ’17 collection, Kenzo collaborated with award-winning filmMUSIC IS maker Kahlil Joseph on the short, Music is My Mistress.

The film stars Tracee Ellis Ross, a fashion icon in her own right; Jesse Williams, (from Grey’s Anatomy); and musicians Kelsey Lu and Ishmael Butler. It moves between different narrative styles, cross-cutting between black and white and retro-styled colour shots. Kenzo describes the story as “cast(ing) music herself as the central character of an unfolding drama across cultures, space, and time.” The film follows Williams’ character, who spends time searching for a missing musician, through a number of abstract and moving visuals and shots, and space and time.

The film stays true to Joseph’s aesthetic of centering African and black aesthetics, a framing that was vivid in Beyoncé’s Lemonade visual album, to which he also contributed. The film sends a strong message, with its all-black cast of artists who also, in their own right, inhabit spaces such as fashion and film, where people of colour are still disadvantaged.

The Door opens with a shot of a woman standing beyond an infinity pool, in a scarlet Miu Miu robe, gazing into the distance. The colour of the robe offers the only source of luminosity in what is depicted as a space with a very sombre mood.

The film, starring Gabrielle Union, lead actress on BET’s hit show, Being Mary Jane, is just one of several that the luxury design house commissioned as part of Women’s Tales, a series of short films by female filmmakers from around the world. The short, directed by Ava DuVernay, whose film Selma and documentary 13th have both received Oscar nods, explores the transformative and healing connection of female friendships.

The narrative takes us through the journey of the protagonist, who is seemingly going through a divorce, her healing reflected through a carefully curated wardrobe of clothes, some of which are from the brand’s Spring ’13 collection, and other items that DuVernay had made specifically for the film. “I’m just a filmmaker from Compton and here I am getting sketches from Miu Miu and I’m like, ‘These are from Milan!’” DuVernay said in an interview with Rolling Stone.

The Door has a jazz-infused soundtrack and DuVernay worked with Oscar nominated cinematographer Bradford Young, making it a cinematic masterpiece. Even though it can be seen as a fashion film, it continues DuVernay’s aesthetic project of centering black narratives in new ways.

One of the first people that Andiswa Maquntu identified as a style icon is an older cousin. “I remember watching my cousin’s style evolve; and wanting to be like her when I grow up,” Maqutu says of her cousin.

It comes as no surprise that her favourite item of clothing is a pair of wide-leg, high-waist trousers she inherited from her cousin. “She bought them from a boutique called Solid in Rosebank,” Maqutu says, describing the trousers that she has owned for more than a decade as timeless.

Her cousin, the managing director of a construction firm, has a work wardrobe of well-tailored suits, classic

coats, and other pieces in unique cuts.

Although her palettes remain largely neutral, she interjects her corporate wardrobe with artistic, colourful statement pieces and accessories.

The trousers were just one of the many clothes that got passed down to Maqutu from her cousin, which included a couple of suits given to her to wear in the early days of her business journalism career.

Maqutu favours a simple look when she wears the trousers, with a silhouette that makes her feel tall. She also loves the tiny details that are not always visible, such as the printed detail on the lining.

IMPACT on their lives and bodies

Bowler’s clothes and the relationship she has with them have always been tied in to her thoughts on her own body. “While I loved clothes, a lot of the time growing up I used them to hide, but also as a way to play different characters,” she says. While Bowler was studying acting, clothes became a way of reinvention and tapping into different characters.

Currently, she describes herself as growing into a space where clothes represent a different sense of being.

Bowler started wearing crop tops about three years ago. “I read an awful article in a women’s magazine about crop tops and which body types should not wear them,” she says. Bowler saw this as a mainstream idea of the crop, a concept she feels needs

to be disentangled. Her love for crops also came at a point where she began a journey to become healthier and have a healthier conception of herself.

“It has become a way to embrace and love my body. For me, it is a conversation with my body, and defiance of deeply ingrained personal perceptions,” she says.

One of the first crop tops Bowler bought was from Nandi Mngoma’s collection for Legit, and had orange detailing. Currently, she sees her crops as statement pieces: some with ruffles and others that can simply be worn with a jacket and a pair of jeans. Now that Bowler is in her late 20s, she thinks of her style as ever-evolving to include more investment pieces and classic items.

Panashe Chigumadzi is the curator of the Abantu Book Festival.

Her debut novel, Sweet Medicine, won the Steve Biko literature prize.

Chigumadzi’s first encounter with wearing something on her head came when she moved from Zimbabwe to South Africa as a child. “I always had something on my head; my parents saw this as my way of imitating all the long hair I was suddenly seeing everywhere,” she says.

Chigumadzi initially associated head wraps with conservative older women covering their heads as a sign of modesty required for married women. An iconic head-wrap moment for her was seeing Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie receiving the Orange Prize for literature wearing a printed red head wrap over a white dress with a matching wrap. This was around the time when she was growing into herself as a black woman and reading black women writers, so that “proudly African” aesthetic was important to her.

During the Fees Must Fall movement, she was part of the #MbokodoLeads campaign, which sought to ensure women had their efforts recognised and voices heard. “We felt head wraps in African print would be an easy way to signify and visibilise black womanhood,” Chigumadzi says.

However, she is aware that the head wrap comes with a history of policing women’s bodies, particularly in slave and colonial societies. Nowadays, she still wears one, as an accessory that brings an outfit together — especially on a bad hair day — as opposed to using it as a sight of black identity and Africanism.

The collaboration of Adriaan Kuiters and Jody Paulsen (AKJP) has produced a fashion label characterised by bold prints, sporty motifs, and layering to produce an original take on classic and utiltarian menswear. Its iconic take has earned the duo a welldeserved reputation for bringing contemporary cool to the South African fashion scene.

Maria McCloy’s CV is as impressive as her accessories label. McCloy has worked with urban culture icons, such as BET and MTV, while a publicist, and has written for leading news titles, such as The Guardian and The Sunday Times.

Her shoes, clutches, and other accessories for women draw on African prints to make a strong, fashion-foward statement

Celeste Lee Arendse uses graphic design-inspired elements to create playful, three-dimensional spaces on two-dimensional garments.

There is an uncompromising commitment to quality evident in each piece, the result of a team of four dedicated women who work on each garment. This attention to detail resuls in fashion that lasts and is as unique as the wearer.

Rich Mnisi’s fashion label is more than just a brand: his designs blend traditional African inspiration with modern touches to appeal to a young, aspirational market. Mnisi’s design approach draws from the world of pop culture, and is also focused on fine craftsmanship and quality. What else would you expect from Africa Fashion International Designer of the Year 2014?

Since 2012, Capetonion KatherineMary Pichulik has been renowned for her bold, colourful, and eccentric jewellery designs made from fabric, rope, and other collected materials.

Pichulik draws inspiration from the powerful, influential women in her life and their emotional connection with their prized items of jewellery to create pieces that speak to the individuality in each of us.

Mathew Kieser has taken his love of design from paper to the runway with his fashion label Sol-Sol, focusing on good quality, wellfitting basics for men. Kieser uses his travels to observe sidewalk fashion as a launching points for his designs,which feature a street-style aesthetic. The designs, while appearing minimal, have hidden details waiting to be explored.

Woodstock native Anees Petersen uses his surroundings in Cape Town as a source from which to draw his creative inspiration, infusing his designs with an authentically unique, local, urban style. His fashion brand has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception in 2009 and Petersen has recently signed local skater Young Manie as a brand representative.

In 2015, Thebe Magugu started out as an in intern the Woolworths womenswear design department, but quickly evolved a design aesthetic all of his own. His statuesque, highly structured designs incorporate splashes of colour and layering that speak to that uniquely South African ability to transcend our circumstances and evolve to be our best selves.

NDERSTANDING PIGMENTATION

Hyperpigmentation is a result of the skin experiencing any sort of trauma, whether it’s ageing, genetics, sun damage, pregnancy-related, or skin inflammation.

An enzyme called tyrosinase controls the production of melanin in the skin. Melanosomes then transport the melanin into the skin cells to protect the skin’s DNA from UV damage. When the melanocytes feel under pressure or trauma, they deposit excessive amounts of melanin to the injured area to help repair and protect the skin.

Olive to dark skin tones naturally have a higher melanin distribution in the skin, so the appearance of pigmentation happens almost instantly. In cases of lighter skin tones, the skin will go red first, then flake, rather than go brown immediately, as there isn’t enough melanin in the skin to cause immediate dark spots or scarring when the skin heals itself from injuries or acne inflammation.

Olive to dark skin tones naturally have more melanin in the skin, so the appearance of pigmentation can happen almost instantly

”

PIGMENTATION TREATMENT DON’TS DARK AND OLIVE SKIN TONES: 1. Avoid harsh laser

TREATMENT

Generally, it’s best to use a combination treatment of a tyrosinase inhibitor, an exfoliant, and a melanosome inhibitor. This combination stops the irregular synthesis of melanin, prevents new pigmentation forming on the skin’s surface, and helps existing spots fade. Dr Pretorius advises: “The best remedy for all skin types would be to apply products containing Retinol and stabilised Vitamin C of at least 10% daily. This home treatment should be balanced with a professional chemical peel, preferably a glycolic peel, between 25%-30%, once per month. Always, always wear sunscreen.”

treatments 2.Avoid trichloroacetic acid peels LIGHT SKIN TONES: 1.Avoid performing chemical peels too frequently

Prescription creams containing hydroquinone have been a popular treatment method used to inhibit the production of melanin, but have also received backlash for bleaching the skin and being toxic. However, Dr Pretorius says: “There is only a discoloration process that takes place in the melanocyte: a brightening and lightening. If you remove that, it goes back to its original state.” In essence, it is not long term.

Ascorbic acid or vitamin C is best at inhibiting melanin production, as it brightens the area and helps to draw the pigmentation out of the skin cells. Chemical exfoliators such as retinol, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid, help to speed up the skin’s cell turnover and lighten the appearance of pigmentation by metabolising pigment and bringing it to the surface to be flaked off as dead skin cells. “If possible, refrain from using harsh laser techniques or bleaching creams,” warns Dr Pretorius, “as these may cause elevated levels of inflammation and inherently cause hyperpigmentation, or even the loss of pigment (Vitiligo) in some cases.”

Though the degree of pigmentation in different skin tones varies, the treatment of the condition is the same. African skin produces more melanin, but the ratio of melanocytes in the skin of both African and Caucasian skin is the same.

Treatment is a lengthy process and requires constant protection of the skin to prevent recurring pigmentation. Start by applying a vitamin E treatment to help protect the skin. Incorporating antioxidants such as vitamins C or E in your beauty routine will protect the skin against free radicals caused by UV exposure, as well as brighten the skin.

Getting even PIGMENTATION IS THE TOP SKIN CONCERN for most South African women, and it’s tricky to treat. We chat to Dr Judey Pretorius of Biomedical Emporium about HOW TO WIN THE FIGHT AGAINST PIGMENTATION TEXT NOKUBONGA THUSI

My personal highlight of the recent fair was the inspirations space. This year’s theme was silence, a rare commodity — or shall I say, luxury — in a world of growing sensory overload.

The scenography of this incredible space was created by Elizabeth Leriche, French stylist extraordinaire. She is often described as someone with a serene and almost reassuring approach to her work, and she translates her favour for lightness, calm, and softness so successfully through her execution of this concept.

“My approach is based on the affective and feeling. I work with emotional reactions,” Leriche

says. “I add a feminine element, with an often playful perspective. I aim to always surprise.”

Upon entering the space, you set foot in a noisy, black, cube-like space filled with TV screens and speakers, simulating the sense of bombardment we experience in our daily, tech-filled lives. This is followed by a corridor veiled in sheer fabrics graded from dark to light, symbolising a passage to serenity and calm, with a large window revealing the word “silence” in a cool neon.

You are given a set of ear plugs to encourage you to wander around the space in silence. Within a space entirely clad with felt, there is a variety of conceptual designs that not only encourage quiet and calm on a auditory level, but also on other sensory levels, as shown by the use of felt and wood in calm tones of greys and taupes. This allows you to experience the designs to the full, for example, Pierre-Emmanuel Vandeputte’s beautiful cork helmet and the organic felt shapes of his Noscondino alcoves, which allow you to dampen surrounding sounds. The need for insulation solutions is something many designers are influenced by when designing spaces and furniture, making it a stronger trend than ever.

Next up is a conceptual black and darkened space, showing with a projection of Cecile Le Talec’s video of hands of a pianist covered in white paint playing an invisible piano. In this space, one can listen to sounds of nature through headphones, while being surrounded by images of the natural space, creating an emotional response.

Domestic spaces are created in the area that follows, consisting of minimal furniture and objects that combine the historical and digital with chiaroscuro video of a candle blazing in the dark played on an iPad by Heewon Kim, in contrast to a painting by Georges de la Tour. This is followed by a dining room-like space filled with only white objects and furniture, creating a serene and quiet look and feel throughout. The entire exhibition space celebrates and enforces the crucial need for space and silence that makes us gain perspective and calm within our daily lives.

One piece of literature that inspired this exhibition — and that stayed with me during this experience — was Alain Corbin’s Histoire du Silence, where he writes: “Silence is not merely the absence of noise; it is all but a forgotten notion nowadays. Our auditory marks have been distorted, diminished, they are no longer sacred…

The intimacy that inhabits it, or a home — used to be defined by silence that prevailed there.”

Silence instills the calm and balance that helps us to unwind and shed the stresses of our daily lives, making this concept vital to our existence and growth as creative beings. maison-objet.com

STUCK IN THE MUD

FRESHEN UP Try something a little different this winter. Dior releases the second reformulation of its 2008 and 2012 Dior Homme Sport, which has an energetic zesty scent, with notes of grapefruit, blood orange and lemon. Italian fashion brand Salvatore Ferragamo has also launched its fragrances locally: Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo is its new male release. This gourmand scent opens up with spicy black pepper and settles into the sweetness of tonka bean and tiramisu notes. Dior Homme Sport EDT, 75ml, R1 190; Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Homme EDT, 100ml, R1 380

A HAIRY SITUATION Chances are your beard is here for winter, so why not enjoy the rugged months with some beard-styling products? The London Grooming Company is the newest addition to the local market, providing everything from beard clay and pomades to oils. The brand references traditional British barber culture, while adding a modern touch: use the beard oil to nourish and soften facial hairs or the clay to smooth everything in place. The London Grooming Company Clay, 50ml, R205; The London Grooming Company Beard Oil, 30ml, R319

THE EDIT AUTUMN/WINTER 2017

ON THE DEFENCE Incorporate exfoliation into your routine to help strengthen your skin barrier and improve texture. Contrary to popular belief, exfoliation is not reserved only for women. Men need to get onto the exfoliation bandwagon too, as it removes dead skin cells and helps prevent ingrown hairs after shaving. Try Dermalogica Age Smart Daily Superfoliant, 75g, R1 180, with a powder-to-paste formulation containing charcoal and red algae that absorb pollutants, as well as niacinamide, which combats pigmentation and improves skin-barrier function.

ON OUR WISHLIST The Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Collection is the brand’s most luxe fragrance offering and we can understand why — every new launch is better than the last. If you are a collector of the Velvet scents, then you will love the latest zesty Velvet Cypress. This unisex fragrance leans towards the male side with its woody citrus notes of bergamot, cypress, Clary sage absolute, and Virginian cedar, but your woman may steal this one for herself. Exclusive to select Edgars counters: V&A, Sandton, Gateway, Clearwater, Rosebank. Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Cypress EDP, 150ml, R5 050

START the new season with a few fragrance treats and NO-FUSS WINTER GROOMING essentials

It’s time to gear up for winter and get your skincare in check.

Controlling hydration and skin flare-ups, and increasing your skin defences, will serve you well. Use a clay mask at least once a week, which will help purify the skin and control oil. We like the GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment Mask, 50ml, R850

a life illustrated NOLAN OSWALD DENNIS is the recipient of the 2016 FNB Art Prize. His work looks at HOW SPACE IS A PRODUCT OF SOCIAL MEMORY, fiction, and power.

He tries to trace lineages of ideas and map CONSTELLATIONS OF KNOWLEDGE, working across different forms of media TEXT NTOMBENHLE SHEZI ILLUSTRATIONS L’MRI ERASMUS

Do you remember the moment you fell in love with architecture? I remember looking at office blocks along the N1 in Midrand on the way to school and trying to imagine what was behind them.

Which artist’s work has had a lasting impact on you? Dumile Feni — he made me understand that the black body does not exist in space. We are suspended in an elsewhere, between space, always shifting.

Can you describe your favourite item in your closet? A pair of socks my friend gave me. They are grey with some lines across them.

What are some of the books that have had a lasting impact on you? Philip K Dick, Valis; Peter Abrahams, Mine Boy; AK Thembeka, Laduma.

What do you love about your home city? The smell of burning grass, veld fires at the end of winter, riding the Gautrain and looking out across the blackened landscape in August.

What is your favourite state of mind? The first 30 seconds of Consideration by Rihanna: “I come fluttering in from Neverland/ Time could never stop me, no, no, no, no/I know you try to.”

What is your favourite film? Fire in Babylon, about the West Indies cricket team of the 1980s. It shows that black people can stand up and give the world what Steve Biko calls “a more human face”.

What is your secret talent? Making bread.

If you were to die and come back as a person, animal, or object, what do you think it would be? I would come back as a cloud, because they know all the secrets.
