We should all be Feminists

The Future is Female! A popular sentiment making the meme rounds, and one that rings true in the pop culture sphere. From statement T's claiming “We should all be Feminists” to new size inclusive collections, there were many examples of female empowerment at the recent Joburg Fashion Week. Check our article on the top highlights from #MBFWJ17.

In other girl power and #WomensMonth news, I interview Nicole Siegenthaler producer of the 2017 FNB Joburg Art Fair about their strong female artist showcasing at the upcoming and tenth edition of the fair. Lauren Hartzenberg interviews jewellery designer Janine Binneman about using her thriving Cape Town business to empower women. And Natalie Le Clue is impressed by the homegrown heroine, Charlize Theron's performance in Atomic Blonde.

New comp this week sees you stand the chance to win tickets to the Visa Street Food Festival in Joburg!

As women's month draws to a close let's not stop championing gender equality and continue to support and acknowledge our local wonder women!

Natalie Le Clue

The first time I saw the preview for Atomic Blonde I wasn't exactly delighted at the prospect of Charlize Theron as a spy in 1980s Berlin - but, and it's a big but, Atomic Blonde is pleasantly surprising and enjoyable, and Theron makes it all work. Read
