Thobile Mazibuko thobile.mazibuko@inl.co.za “I FIND it funny that many designers grow locally and then find international markets. I think, for me, things quickly became the opposite in a lot of ways, so I want to circle back to South Africa and do interesting events that tie the brand back into the country,” said Thebe Magugu. This was during an interview with IOL Lifestyle, in Durban, in May last year. The quote is from a question I had asked about his plans to localise the Thebe Magugu brand. But it seems the universe had other plans and while he wants to make sure his brand is celebrated at home, the global fashion industry needs him more. When Magugu was one of the designers chosen to pay tribute to the late Alber…

Buhle Mbonambi buhle.mbonambi@inl.co.za WHAT does it take to be a socialite? Well, a few things. In the previous millennium, it was probably all about your net worth or being a member of a prominent family with an ‘aristocratic’ background. This would allow you to attend social gatherings, where you would be fêted simply because of your standing in society. Most times, you didn’t even need to have a job, just access to wealth.

Moreover, the very definition of “new” has changed in perception for consumers, businesses and industry as all are revisiting the existing systems and ways of working. Home-living has become escapism from the instability of the outside world as people see their homes as a refuge of calm Home textiles…
