We love good wine, and sharing good wine with friends and family, but an experience with the aptly named KWV collection titled ‘The Mentors’ is one that you will certainly not forget. Studying anything from a Mentor is always a great idea, and when it comes to wine drinking, we support this theory 100%! The winemaking team at KWV, under the guidance of wine maker Izele van Blerk realised that the boundary-breaking approach in The Mentors cellar was leading to remarkable terroir-driven wines that deserved their own spot light from the other KWV offerings. The first wines were bottled in 2006, but it was in 2009 that The Mentors range prepared it’s wings for flight. Although they now produce a staple portfolio of eight wines, the winemaking team have the enviable freedom of pursuing innovative new varietals and blends from every harvest – taking their cue from the vineyards. The…

Fashion house Jigsaw have teamed up with British artist, Marcus James to bring you their latest womenswear collection – and it’s a work of art. From dresses to jumpsuits, their Spring/Summer 2017 features a collection of prints and contemporary cuts across beautiful silks as Jigsaw reveal their inspiration came from two mathematical concepts: order and chaos. Order is a story of balance and beauty, floral hand drawings manipulated by screen printing inspired by chaos theory’s butterfly effect. The chaos print captures energy through continuous unbalanced lines, hand-drawn with charcoal, giving James’s trademark style – which is why the collaboration was a natural fit. “The main thing is that it was visually striking and we had a visual language that would translate well on to the garments. We knew the texture of the charcoal and the fluidity of the lines would work really well,” reveals Marcus James. The butterfly prints have been…
