CLIVE RUNDLE
transcend the catwalk and truly inspire. Black Coffee’s collection epitomised, for me, everything that is right about African couture: the show was pure fantasy without resorting to gimmicks. Each piece was flawless: beautifully crafted, contemporary but exuding an edgy African influence that made it feel locally relevant. What a talent. Then there was Albertus Swanepoel who returned to his fashion design roots with his debut clothing collection after spending the past decade in New York as a milliner to über designer houses like Proenza Schouler and Carolina Herrera. Presented as an installation of posed models, the audience was invited to walk around and view each piece in detail. I’m obsessed with his white tuxedo trousers and perfectly cut white shirt.

If, like me, you love local design then make a point of visiting the Edgars X SAFW capsules (at the Melrose Arch and Sandton City Edgars stores) that showcase designs from numerous SAFW designers at reasonable price points. It’s a great way to up the fashionability of your wardrobe and support local talent. As always, happy shopping!

t isn’t often that I get to dress up and hang out with fabulous people every night. Well, SA Fashion Week, held in Rosebank, Johannesburg, presented that opportunity and Annelee (Club’s fashion director) and I jumped at the chance to attend. This is the second consecutive year that Edgars has been the retail sponsor of SAFW and I believe the partnership is a great fit. Having a retail giant like Edgars on board is highly beneficial in helping local designers showcase – and sell – their work to the nation. As usual, the shows didn’t disappoint, with stand-out collections from SAFW stalwarts like Tiaan Nagel and Clive Rundle. Innovative, conceptual yet ultimately wearable, their designs

CHISELLED CHEEKBONES Contouring with highlights and shadows will create the impression of a slimmer face and higher cheekbones. STEP 1 Applied after foundation, opt for a powder that’s two shades darker than your natural skin tone. Use a contour brush to swipe powder across the hollow underneath your cheekbone before blending it in with circular motions. STEP 2 Use a highlighter that’s one shade lighter than your natural skin tone and apply it to the highest point of your cheekbone, blending thoroughly. STEP 3 Finish by adding blusher to the apples of your cheeks (smile, please!). Expert tips: “Blending is essential,” says Givenchy’s David White, while make-up artist Lesley Whitby stresses the importance of choosing a shade of blusher that complements your skin tone: “Pastels and light corals work best for fair skins; bronze and darker pinks for medium skin tones and bright oranges, dark reds and fuchsia pinks for dark-skinned women.” Givenchy Le Prisme Blush in It-Girl Purple, R490

FULL-ON POWER POUT Use your make-up as a tool to create the illusion of full and balanced lips that command attention. STEP 1 Using dark lip liner, outline your lips and extend the colour to the inside of your lips, leaving the centre bare. STEP 2 Apply a dark lip colour, blending it outwards with a lip brush. STEP 3 Finish with a lip gloss in a contrasting shade, like orange, on the centre of your pout and blend. Expert tips: “The upper lip is often naturally smaller than the lower, so use more colour on the top lip to create the illusion of a fuller lip,” explains make-up artist Linda O’Connell. “It’s a look that leads the eye to the centre of your lips. Plus it’s fun to experiment with different colours.”
