BEASTS
THE KING
OF BEASTS
To celebrate the Lunar New Year 2022, the Year of the Tiger, Dolce & Gabbana has launched a special new capsule collection. The pieces – boasting coats in brocade jacquard, silk blend crew-neck knitwear, and the unmistakable Dolce Box bag – all pay homage to the tiger as a symbol of strength and bravery.
THE AESTHETIC
The collection centres on the tiger, an animal that has long been regarded as a creature of good fortune and peace. The colour palette sports vivid colours that bring to mind a wild nature, while the iconic Dolce & Gabbana leopard print combines beautifully with a tiger pattern in various shades. Drawings of noble and fierce tigers feature across the collection, which offers looks for both men and women.
THE COLLECTION
The capsule collection is contemporary and dynamic, featuring a selection of brand-new prints. The Women’s Collection includes a range of striking pieces, with charmeuse short sleeves tubino dresses and long-sleeve scuba sweatshirts, as well as beautifully crafted bags.
For men, the collection includes a series of pieces for a sporty look that balances style and comfort – think padded bombers and multi-coloured denim pants.

Available at Sandton City and V&A Waterfront stores.
THE ALPHA AESTHETIC
by Jennifer Campbell
Messika Paris has launched a brand-new campaign for its Move Collection, a modern, romantic and timeless range in its aesthetic. And as the face of the campaign, Kendall Jenner shines as the true embodiment of the Messika woman.
THE FACE OF THE CAMPAIGN
Kendall Jenner and Valérie Messika came together to shoot the Maison’s new campaign by Australian photographer Chris Colls in the beautiful South of France. Messika has always loved the dynamism of fashion, and this can be seen in each of her easy-to-wear collections season after season. For her latest o ering, Messika wanted to find someone with genuine energy and radiance to reflect her jewels, an alpha woman who was able to illustrate a subtle alliance between grace and strength – and her choice of Kendall Jenner as the face of the new campaign feels just right.
Kendall Jenner has been on the modelling scene since she was just 14 years old when she first appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue in 2010. From there, she rose to stardom and was dubbed the ‘fashion icon of the decade’ in 2017. Now, she is in her element as she represents the latest Messika jewellery collection, an embodiment of e ortless style, modernity and freedom.
Kendall is thrilled to be part of the campaign. As a long-time fan of the fine jewellery Maison, she had the opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into each beautiful piece.
THE MOVE COLLECTION
As part of the new campaign for the collection, photographer Chris Colls combined the aesthetics of fashion photography with moving elements, this multi-degree approach reflects the dual femininity of Messika jewellery. The images bring together Kendall’s elegant figure, the natural landscape, and the exquisite jewellery designs seamlessly.
The signature collection of Maison Messika, the Move Collection, comprises rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces, all of which have an easy-to-wear and timeless aesthetic. The pieces work beautifully alone or together, stacked across the fingers, wrists, décolletage and neck. Each piece features three moving diamonds, which shine according to one’s movements, and is available in pink, white and yellow gold. The pink gold is exceptionally soft and luxurious, while the white gold reflects the light and enhances the purity of the diamonds, and the yellow gold brightens the skin with its striking solar hue. The style is pared down and graphic with delicate, chic details; the perfect balance of traditional and modern design elements.
