It’s the party/fashion issue and it’s only fitting that we feature beautiful people and beautiful places. Join us and indulge in the beauty and the glamour of summer. Our cover star is entertainer and party girl Bonang Matheba; she speaks frankly about her career hot streak and having it all.
The fashion design photo essay is by make-up artist and stylist Carl Isaacs in collaboration with a group of talented fashion design graduates. And gorgeous Bonang features again in our 1920s Great Gatsby-inspired fashion shoot.
