For the longest time I have had this rather interesting habit of reading a book and about a third of the way into it, I will ever-so-casually flip to the last few pages of the book and skim-read to see which characters made it to the end. I know, I know, I know. Sacrilege! Thing is, it gets worse…
. After a month of flying under the radar and reacquainting myself (quietly) with my home town (Harare), my good friend G decided that enough was enough and dragged me out on Saturday night to check out Haus of Stone and Prophet Lady’s respective “ACES | EQLBRM SS 2016” fashion collections. I’m using the term “drag” rather loosely here, because after G uttered the words “fashion show” I cast my recluse ways behind me and got super excited to see what Zimbabwean fashion designers, Danayi Chapfika and Sibongile Moyana had put together. They didn’t disappoint. So ICYMI (in case you missed it) and you are in dire need of some inspiration as to how you should rock your “tennis whites” this summer (like the cool kids), read on…
A few days ago a good friend of mine posted an article onto my Facebook page that accused Taylor Swift of romanticising African colonial rule in her most recent music video, “Wildest Dreams”. Her video was set against the backdrop of a non-specified African country in the 1920’s era and whilst it featured some dubiously photo-shopped prominent members of the African wildlife family, the big outcry with the whole video (according to the article) was that it didn’t feature one African person in it. *gasps & clutches at my non-existent-pearl necklace*
