Denim And Feel Good Fashion – Jet Campaign Spreads The Love

Local fashion retailer Jet is embracing how wonderfully different, yet so similar we all are. Discrimination isn’t new to South Africans and the new #JetDenim campaign: Denim Doesn’t Discriminate aims to look beyond the negativity and focus on our diversity and inclusiveness as a nation.

 

“We want customers to embrace their uniqueness and celebrate our similarities as humans. More than this we want them to feel good in their skin and in our denim jeans which lend themselves to effortless comfort and style. Regardless of age, race, culture or gender, each individual is extraordinary and brings a special element to the broader South African culture,” says Jerry Anthonyrajah, Head of Marketing at Jet.

 

The essence of this new marketing direction follows a bigger global trend of leader brands that are moving towards celebrating imperfections to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary. The #JetDenim campaign is a celebration of diversity and inclusiveness.

 

The campaign features seven real South African stories centred around individual experiences of discrimination. These wonderful, ordinary South Africans share their inspirational stories to bring to light their experiences of how they have overcome their own personal challenges, and more importantly how they feel proud of their differences and see them as something to be celebrated.

 

When asked why he would consider tying the Jet brand to the subject of discrimination, Jerry Anthonyrajah reminds us that “We need to celebrate and appreciate our own differences, and we also want to encourage people to embrace each other’s differences. Denim is the staple item in most customers’ wardrobes and we are using it to illustrate how we are really not that different. We are proud of our affordable denim range and hope customers feel proud to wear them too.”

 

We encourage you to visit our store and shop our range. Denim doesn’t discriminate neither do our prices.

 

STREETS OF BRAAMFONTEIN TO SHUT DOWN FOR BASKETBALL

Johannesburg, South Africa – Braamfontein is usually the haunt of the über trendy Joburg crowd. On 13 August it gets a taste of basketball culture as De Beer Street is shut down to play host to thirty-two ballers as they go one-on-one, man vs. man for top honours at the  RedBull King of the Rock South Africa Final.

 

Basketball has been deeply entrenched in hip hop culture for decades so it seems fit that the event will also feature a performance by venerable rapper and self-proclaimed fan of ‘Braam’ Stilo Magolide, style commentary by  Mkay Fresh and be emceed by South Africa’s voice of the game, Jerome ‘Slim’ Du Plooy.

 

 

The battle will follow an exciting round-robin format that will keep the crowd involved and entertained. The top eight ballers will then be drawn into a single-elimination tournament bracket. This section of the tournament gets really, real: You lose,  you go home… In the end, winner takes all and gets to represent South Africa at the Red Bull King of the Rock World Finals in Serbia later this year.

 

 

“I think the fact that we’re are going as far as shutting down an iconic street in Braamfontein tells all ballers and enthusiasts just how epic this Final is going to be!” says sportive director KP Ndlovu. “The one-on-one game is known for being fast-paced, hard and physical and being able to bring it to the streets of Braam, where there is such a strong cultural vibe, is going to be something special.”

 

Kevin Romenoh, last year’s South African Champion, spoke humbly of the experience of attending the World Finals in 2015: “It was such a great opportunity to compete in Turkey last year.  This year’s winner will have their work cut out for them taking on the players in Serbia in September.”

 

Through three rigorous qualifiers taking place in and around Johannesburg over a 3-week period in July / August, players will be selected to compete in the finals at 10am on the 13th of August – just a stone’s throw away from the Neighbourgoods Market.

Title: MY FINAL SLUMBER INCLINATION

 

My final slumber inclination

They say “life’s a journey” and I know the destination,

And that destination is fatality.

In my living moments

Journeys I have planned

And destinations I reached

Harsh and quiet wonders I captured

In pictures, heart and brain.

The journey of life is bizarre

It is never really planned

The end is chosen for you.

When my existence ends;

You will put in satin and silk

When I ever slept in is linen

You’ll beautify my room with bouquets of seductive scents

When I lived flowers I seldom received

Harsh make-up you’ll smear me with

A sight in my life never seen

You say I will eventually rise

If so then;

Put the shoes I really adored

So when I walk I display events of my youth

Swathe  me in a black gown

The color I have a found life and peace

Drench me in “Lady Million or Lacoste Pink”

So that when I wake I am me.

My desire

Please minimal make-up.

My wreath let it be hydrangeas, peonies, tulips and snow queens.

Then in peace I shall rest.

The Cell C Playing For Pink Event Returns This October

On Sunday, 2^nd of October 2016, the Cell C Playing for Pink Ladies Invitational Polo Event, aimed at supporting breast cancer survivors, will grace the fields of the Inanda Club in Sandton for the second year running.             

 

This prestigious event, presented by Edith Unlimited in partnership with leading network provider Cell C, will see hundreds of polo enthusiasts flocking to the Inanda Club to enjoy a day of pampering and high fashion. This year’s theme, ‘Pink Circus’, will undoubtedly bring with it airs of grace, glitz, glamour and panache.

 

The event is aimed at raising funds for Reach for Recovery’s ‘Ditto Project’, an initiative in benefit of women from low-income groups who wish to undergo reconstructive surgery to get breast prosthesis after suffering from breast cancer, but don’t necessarily have access to the funds required to do so.

Suzette van der Merwe, Managing Executive of the Cell C Foundation says, “Cell C is honoured to again be part of this wonderful event in aid of supporting the recovery of breast cancer survivors. We at Cell C continue to focus our CSI initiatives on empowering and uplifting women in our country. This year we hope to raise more funds to help Reach for Recovery with the incredible work that they are doing.”

 

“With one in every 26 South African women across all race groups likely to get breast cancer in their lifetime, and not everyone being able to afford reconstructive surgery after undergoing a mastectomy, we identified the need to commit ourselves to women empowerment. Enter the Cell C Playing for Pink Ladies Invitational Polo Event, specifically designed to help raise funds for those who wouldn’t have otherwise been able to help themselves,” says Edith Venter, Event Organiser.

 

Not only will guests be treated to a day of high energy polo matches, comprising of only female players within each team, but they can also look forward to surprise entertainment acts, masterfully concocted cocktail beverages, pampering and pop up stores, giving guests the opportunity to indulge in a luxury shopping experience.

 

“The event promises to be full of fun, vibrancy and class, with a dash of Madam Zingara added to the mix,” continues Venter.

 

“Breast Cancer is a very serious illness, and at Reach for Recovery, we are fortunate to have the continuous support and generous contributions of Edith Unlimited, as well as Cell C, in aid of our organisation. At Reach for Recovery, our main objective is to be there for the many women affected by breast cancer as they start their journey of recovery and rediscovery,” says Stephne Jacobs, Chairperson of the Board of Management at Reach for Recovery.

 

Ticket Costs:

Tickets to this fabulous event will be available as of the 27^th of June 2016 at TicketPro, with general access starting at R650 per ticket. Corporates can order their VIP tickets by contacting Edith Unlimited – 011 783 5887 / www.edithunlimited.co.za .

“Condoms For Maximum Performance” – Contempo Condoms

Modish Monday: Tiyas King – Swaziland’s Very Own RnB Star!

The genre – Rhythm and Blues (better known as RnB) has been taken to greater heights in Africa as Tiyas King – the “King” of RnB proves that with his rather enthralling voice that will send your soul on a magical journey! Tiyas King has been certified as the next big sensation in Africa!

 

I had the opportunity to confabulate with such an amazing singer, who in essence has 3 albums under his name and is a multi-award winning artist. This is what he had to say about his career, Fashion and his work:

 

Who is Tiyas King? A brief background will do.

Tiyas King is a multi-award winning RnB artist from the Kingdom of Swaziland, who is now in the early phases of taking his music to the rest of the region. To date, I have produced three bodies of work namely: Love Chronicles, Lies The Truth and Hello Sunshine (being the latest piece of my work). 

 

Please tell me about your latest album, what makes it discrepant?

What makes the Hello Sunshine album something different in the market is the perspective and approach I have tackled the story-telling of the project from the first to the last song, it is a story of one man’s journey in love. The project starts up-beat having little or nothing to do with love, and as we come out of the ‘night’ and into sunshine, the music moves from music commonly associated with the night life, to RnB and a more mature sound. It is truly a masterpiece which showcases the range of my artistry. You will hear electro, hip-hop, and soft rock all interpreted in RnB. 

 

How do you define your sense of style?

In all honesty, I am not entirely sure I have a defined style. I usually go with what is comfortable and clean. I do, love wearing layers and a mix of textures, so I would love a piece that has denim and leather.  

 

What inspires your Fashion sense?

My sense of style is defined by being a classic man. Every look, whether it be formal or streeet style, it must be timeless. Simple and clean is always my default. 

 

You have been in the industry for a while now. What are some of the challenges that you have encountered?

I would say what has changed in the industry from my own perspective is the methods of marketing your brand, whereas before sharing your music was harder because you had to do door-door, person-person sales but now social media has allowed us to reach further faster from your gadget. You can share your music, your performances, your experiences and blogs, all at the touch of a button on your phone. If also say another change our region has undergone is what I would call African Empowerment where more and more of our people are consciously choosing to support local music than that of artists from overseas. There is less judging and more of acceptance. 

 

What is your take on the Fashion industry? What do you think will be the trends for this season?

Honestly, as far as Fashion goes I am no guru, what I can say is that classic and clean never die out. This winter we can expect to see the layering and mixing textures. The grey’s, blacks and off-whites with a dash of color are always a safe combinations one can play around with. 

 

Any fashionables that you look up to?

As far as Fashion icons go, I enjoy David Beckham’s dress sense. Schick is the correct word to describe him, it is simply royal. 

 

Any future endeavours?

I endeavor to look back at myself today and be shocked to see how far I have progressed. This progress should be multi-dimensional. Every single aspiration should grow. Musically, I want the brand that is Tiyas to be known in places I am yet to travel, I want to work with at least one artist from every country with my region. 

 

Your advice to upcoming singers/songstresses?

My advice to upcoming artists is: Surround yourself with nothing but positivity, energy and remove the negative without fear and compromise. I am yet to see an artist grow by surrounding themselves with people who do not believe in his/her talent. I would also say invest more in the planning stage and self-development stage. 

 

 Tiyas King proves that hard work and determination will absolutely take you places, an inspiration to upcoming singers and the hope to those that are slowly penetrating the industry, with their magical voices! RnB has been resurrected by Swaziland’s very own – Tiyas King!

“It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God, your playing does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking, so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us” – Marianne Williamson
