#BizTrends2017: a collection of top industry trends for the year ahead from respected thought leaders is live and large across our site. In Lifestyle, we kick things off with local fashion trends from style icon Jackie Burger, décor trends from trend forecaster Dave Nemeth and film trends from movie buff Charles Siboto. Stay tuned for more over the next few weeks!

We also bring you a fashion report on L'Ormarins Queens Plate. Daniel Dercken gives his top international and local movies from 2016 and Leigh Andrews samples the food-and-wine flight options at Steenberg's Catharina.

And we've got tickets up for grabs for next Sunday's Kirstenbosch Summer Concert featuring the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra!
