Aqua By Night   February 8th, 2010

291021651 274e2f8918 Aqua By Night


Was treated to the most amazing dinner at Aqua bar and restaurant in Kowloon,  Hong Kong, on Friday night.


We started off in the bar with pink bubbles (my favourite) and bar snacks (a godsend considering I’d been cruising the malls until late) and then delicious vino and feasting until late with the view of the Hong Kong skyline and the light show as my view.  The interiors of Aqua are pretty impressive but the view, the view is to die for.

A while ago I tweeted about an incredible interview I did with a very interesting man. Here it is – the story I wrote for Dossier on designer Clive Rundle after his epic show at SAFW last year, and the shoot that Mia (editor of Dossier) did with Clive’s favourite model, Nina Milner.

It’s Official!   January 4th, 2010

 

dossier cover december 2009 Its Official!

 

I’m starting off the year on a high note… Yes, I have landed my dream job and as of today am Dossier Magazine’s Cape Town Ed – woop, woop!

 

What I love about the magazine is that it’s independently published and is put together by a small band of freelancers who only care about creating beautiful pages.

 

This creative freedom means that the magazine is free of the corporate stranglehold that has watered down editorial vision – turning magazines into formulaic templates of blah blah blah – and as a result, the publication is winning international recognition for its exceptional design and visual dynamism.

 

True, it’s still small and is far from the distribution channels that international fashion tomes like Another Magazine and LOVE, or POP, have achieved, but the good news is that Dossier is also about to be distributed internationally so for me, it just feels like the best possible place to be right now.

 

Look out for the magazine (hint, hint: that means please buy it!) and, from it’s March issue, a lot more content from me and other coastal creatives.

 

We’re busy with the March issue as I write this, and it’s looking freakin’ amazing! xx From a very happy Me.

Moments from our day

Moments from our day

 

Had the most amazing day yesterday – my first stint as stylist, and I was lucky enough to do it for Dossier Magazine, probably the most exciting fashion magazine this country has.

 

The best thing about it was the creative freedom of the whole experience - I got to choose my subject, write the story, put together the most incredible team (thank you Damon Fourie, Jade Leggat and the lovely Lala from Boss) and then spent the day creating beautiful images of outfits I would kill to wear. Think Jimmy Choo heels, power accessories and the slinkiest of sheaths. Sigh, so dreamy.

 

Am I happy right now? Hell, yes!
