THE Durban July has always been synonymous with glamour, splendour and festivities that go on for days after the event is over. It's the biggest party weekend in South Africa, where people from different parts of the country, continent and world descend on Durban and party like they are in Vegas. It is fitting, of course as the Hollywoodbets Durban July is regarded by many as Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event. It’s where fashion, entertainment, business and sport meet and everyone seems to understand each other. Speaking of fashion, this special issue is all about getting you race ready for the biggest race in the continent. From deciphering the theme and getting ideas from a top stylist, to our carefully curated look book and other tips, this is one magazine you will keep referring to when you need sartorial advice. We advise you to throw caution to wind and have fun with your fashion, honey! Show us what you are made of and who knows, you may be the Queen (and King) Bee of the day.
