The savviest viewers spotted the collision course years ago. The Crown was a series about the British royal family, and one that took clothes seriously. Princess Diana, who also took clothes seriously, was suddenly looming in the Netflix series timeline.

The body-hugging and off-shoulder black minidress Diana wore in 1994 has come to symbolise the entire hell-hath-no-fury storyline of the Princess of Wales’ divorce in the 1990s. She wore it with high heels and a pearl choker to a gala at London’s Serpentine Gallery on the night her husband admitted his continual adultery on television, and it was an instant sensation, squashing virtually all of Charles’s potential good press…
When Dead to Me premiered in the spring of 2019, it set viewers up for one shocking revelation after another. The Netflix dark comedy wasn’t exactly honest with us when it introduced Jen Harding (Christina Applegate) and Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini) as two grieving women who form an unlikely bond after meeting at a bereavement support group. Jen, cynical and jaded, is reeling from the sudden death of her husband, Ted, in a hit-and-run accident. Judy, bubbly and free-spirited, is grieving several painful losses herself, but the story she shares – about her fiancé, Steve, dying of a heart attack – is a doozy of a lie. Jen and Judy connect over Facts of Life reruns, Entenmann’s cookies and TV’s go-to wellness treatment for white women over 40: jumbo glasses…
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix docuseries will reportedly premiere on December 8.

IT’S been two years since I attended African Fashion International Fashion Week Joburg because of Covid-19. After a long break, I am happy to have reunited with the industry’s best. This past weekend, AFI staged a two-day fashion show at Sandton City’s Diamond Walk, where 21 designers from across the continent showcased their Spring/Summer 23 collections. Unlike in the olden days when Fashion Week was a closed event, this one was open as passers-by could also watch. As expected, many designers did not disappoint. They showcased their talent most creatively, making sure to catch the eyes with striking prints, bold colours and exquisite designs. Prints and patterns It wouldn’t be AFI without some African prints, and Botswana’s Kidunia did much of that. Her collection was full of suits, each with…
“WE DON’T don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly, we need millions of people doing it imperfectly,” said Anne Marie Bonneau.

Our goal is to share the benefits of Africa’s rich biodiversity with the rest of the world.” Africa Organics recently won the Dutch Beauty award for the second year in…
