Old skool beetles are way too cool...
Fashionable clothes are not the only things that come back to trend... The retro, old skool beetle happens to be the biggest styling accessory of all time! Whether going to a picnic at the park or even a good old surf at the beach, this vintage car goes for miles in the fashion industry, especially in photoshoots. So don't tell me this post has nothing to do with fashion;) L.O.V.E

Maya Hef... Walking on a dream
Live. Love. Style....................Live the ideas and thoughts that come into your head. Let them manifest as they turn into your dreams. Love your craft and give it your all, don’t compromise. Style isn’t bought, it’s a mentality and lifestyle, so own it. - Thandeka Gumede, Zama Ndlela, Londiwe Ngwenya...
What started out as a mere dream and cafeteria lunch topic progressed into three designers launching their own lifestyle brand focusing on fashion and interior. The trio encompasses of two fashion designers and an interior designer who have the same passion for style and vision for life. The brand Maya Hef was born. Inspired by the strong woman in their lives, they combined their grandmothers and mothers names and came up with the name Maya Hef. The words elegance, sophistication and cutting edge are words that come to mind when ones sees items from this young emerging brand. Inspired by the old, they turn it into the new and hope one day to help other designers find their design truth.

DENIM to dress
An original Cyndy Diedrick design
Recently this dress was chosen in the 1st round as one of the finalist for the Vodacom Young Designers competition. So I managed to do a little interview with designer Cyndy Diedricks from Durban University of Technology, to find out how she managed to turn bad denim to such a beautiful classic look.
For this dress I managed to draw inspiration from different trend for spring/summer 2011/12. "Mostly colour blocking! Because my silhouette was simple, I wanted my fabric to stand out! I looked at a lot of geometric and abstract prints. I wanted something different from the current floral trends. I wanted to be youthful, funky and a reflection of my personal style." - Cyndy Diedricks
To get to this gorgeous colour blocked dress, she had to do a lot of different procedures. "I dyed my fabric with pigment and turmeric powder, sand-papering certain parts. I used ink and a stanley knife to create my pattern. Finally I am happy with the end results as I had envisioned it;)" -Cyndy Diedricks

We wear bright colours in dark days;)
Although we are finally into our cold winter days, Durban is still bright and happy! It's a Durban thing I guess. Everyone is always chilled in the happy city. Most people are openly recieving the "cold days", a great relief from the blazing summer sun. Weird weather though I must say, as cold as the wind might be there is still the die-hard sun smiling down at us. Can't blame us for wearing bright colours in our cold days, we just cool like that:) That's why one will always L.O.V.E this happy city!!!
