<3 Design

Forget the month of love, here at Bizcommunity, February equals the month of design. Throughout February we will bring you exclusive design-centric interviews and thought leadership articles. In Lifestyle we creatively kick off with interviews with all-round design maverick Louis Minnaar and hot young fashion designer Rich Mnisi.

In other top story news, I report back on the long-awaited Mumford & Sons concert in Cape Town and EDM enthusiasts can look forward to CTEMF this weekend.

In news of the winning variety, we've got tickets to next Sunday's Kirstenbosch Summer Concert featuring Matthew Mole and Rubber Duc and the Valentine Picnic Concert ft Desmond & The Tutus at the Hillcrest Quarry up for grabs!
