Military and Victoriana coming to get you!
Ok so we know it’s Spr/ummer and we should be telling you which bikini to buy, but you know that we like to give you the real time fashioin trends which means that we may give you winter-wear tips in Spr/ummer. We told you all about shorts and high heels a while back, here are two more JUICY tips. 1) The Military look – get your hands on a military-style jacket and quickly… If… you like to be your own original funky self, best you shesha so those who imitate (you know the ones – they do it so shamelessly) won’t be able to catch-up – try to get something from a slightly off-beat shop like YDE or the Space, although a little birdie told us that MR P already had some wannabe military jackets… but then you risk the copy-cat syndrome. Check out GETLIPPY.com for thirty gorgeous jackets. 2. The Victoriana shirt – yip – the VICTORIAN high-collared, lacy look is so here… for tips on what to buy and a good fit, check out the UK site Fashion Telegraph for direction on how to buy a Victoriana shirt. We haven’t seen any around yet, but when they do come, you can get your talons on them first!...
Kebble Art Awards on the death of Brett Kebble
You may recall that we ran the ‘call-for-entries’ for the Kebble awards on our site for a few months – here Clive van den Berg, curator of the awards shares their thoughts with us on the untimely death of the Awards patron: “We are shocked and deeply sad to hear of the tragic news of Brett Kebble’s death, it is a great loss. The Kebble Art Awards team send our deepest condolences… to the Kebble family at this difficult time.” “Brett Kebble had a great love for art and was the most generous art patron South Africa has known. He made a substantial difference to livelihoods of many artists and ensured that artists, even from the most remote areas, benefited from his patronage. He will be remembered by the arts community as the sponsor who acknowledged all the forms of contemporary art and created a platform for them. Kebble made enormous strides in highlighting the investment potential of visual arts and created a new platform for artists all over the country to showcase their work. He created the finest and most prestigious art awards in South Africa, and artists have become proud to be associated with an award of its calibre. Through The Kebble Awards, Brett has generated enormous support from the media for artists. How else in South Africa are artists given the importance of front page news for the achievement of excellence in fine arts? There are many sponsorship options available to businessmen, and it was Brett Kebble who had the courage to use sponsorship money for the overlooked area of culture. He realised the role of culture in a changing society and made a significant difference in helping us understand our transition and each other.” Kathryn Smith, co-curator of the Kebble Art Awards, said: “Brett Kebble has made an invaluable contribution to South Africa by creating a public consciousness about contemporary art. That one individual has been able to make such an impact is something that should be remembered and celebrated.” Roger Kebble said today, “The Kebble Art Awards will proceed as it is and the family will meet at an appropriate time to discuss going forward.” ******************************************************************** 18 September The third Brett Kebble Art Awards have just been launched, offering incredible prizes for outstanding South African artists – the big moolah is the R200 000 prize for the top award, and then there are six major awards of R60 000 each.
