October 19, 2012 . by Anthony Bila

PICHULIK

October 17, 2012 . by Sara Trickett

PICHULIK accessories have been making a big impact on the local fashion scene of late- they are bright and bold and beautifully crafted, a nice departure from all the delicate pastels of the last few months.

Guest Post by Kudi Maradzika: An Interview with Tailor

October 10, 2012 . by Sara Trickett

With a sound that is easily comparable to a modern day South African Kate Bush, tinged with a dash Florence Walsh’s ethereal appeal and with lyrical skill reminiscent to the likes of Alanis Morisette, Tailor has recently made waves in the South African music scene with her eclectic and infectious sound. Her most notable track Wolf, off her debut album The Dark Horse is a song filled with sweeping emotional angsty crescendos, bold and dramatic musical arrangements and a distinctively folksy guitar sound, an aural aesthetic that translates throughout the album. I recently caught up with the singer... View Article

I attended the urban youth culture event dubbed STR CRD (but where are the vowels you ask? Duh, cool kids don't need vowels. Ever.) and captured some of the moments from this years event.
