STYLE UPDATE • Here’s what’s hot off the press in the fashion world!

ALL THINGS STYLE Winter’s wanted list • From leather and larger-than-life jackets to modernist suiting, your winter shopping list is officially sorted.

Celebrating your crown • In conversation with TRUELOVE and MPL

Forever leather • A staple that keeps reinventing itself, leather is a classic statement in the form of coats, jackets, trousers and skirts.

Soft feminism • From relaxed tailoring to structured suits in soft hues - power dressing has been given a make-over.

The soft side of life • The buzzword for outerwear is COSY, from padded jackets and puffers to oversized coats - all in plush fabrics.

Done up denim • Denim evolves beyond pants. Think maxi skirts, oversized shirts and boiler suits.

Knits and stuff • Make knitwear a winter fave with the season’s boldest shades – from periwinkle and Barbie pink to scarlet.

It’s a throwback! • The ‘90s meet the noughties in cargo pants, waist-baring tops, oversized jackets and platform shoes.

MEET MALONDIE the fashion house! • Londeka Buthelezi-Ndaba, founder and designer of Malondie, opens up about life as a fashion designer, the business side of things and lessons learnt along the way.

BEAUTY NEWS • The hottest and latest products to land on the beauty desk.

The ULTIMATE WINTER skincare SURVIVAL GUIDE • From Witch Hazel and what to do with it, to what’s trending in skincare right now, here’s the only guide you’ll need to help your skin survive this winter.

The 5 commandments of ZONKE • Did you know that Zonke Dikana has the highest booking rate in South Africa? A multi-award-winning and multitalented singer, songwriter and producer, she embodies class, star-power and living-legend status. Two decades in the game and she isn’t done just yet! Her new album, Embo, just dropped and she’s currently on a national tour. She gets candid on the rules she lives by and reflects back on her career.

DJ Sabby at his BEST! • He’s many things in the entertainment industry, but it’s radio that gains dominance for Sabelo “Sabby,” Mtshali (33). The multi-award-winning radio jock tells us all about his new Metro FM show, and his journey in radio.

It’s LeSoul TIME • “I went from a gospel background to playing really deep house, like your soulful jams, hence the name LeSoul,” says the globetrotting DJ, producer and radio host of how she got her moniker. Real name Precious Nonkululeko Mdlalose, LeSoul shares her musical journey.

SCREENSAVERS WOMEN KEEPING YOU GLUED TO YOUR SCREENS • It takes a village to create the small-screen local content and films we enjoy watching.
