Co-start wowhard

one but I would definitely like to work with John Malkovichagain and Meryl Streep always! Clive Own is brilliant andso are Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron, Al Pacino, Colin Firth,Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. It would be fun to do an actionmovie with Angelina Jolie. So many good new actors aswell, this is an impossible question!

Two years later and Miss Adele has gained another 2fabulous years of producing yet another great cd.There are some nice tunes on her album, my favouritebeing If it hadnt been for love and Rolling in the

deep. A good buy for your collection, whether its acd or download!

A-Ha, well if you are not a fan, then I cannot say much aboutthat. They are undoubtedly one of the coolest 80s bandsaround. I remember watching the Top 40 every Friday (yes

giving away my age now) and boogying away to theirsongs. This album has all the top hits and favourites. Afabulous buy. One of my favourites still has to be Take onme

Not heard of Jack Parow? Where have you been? Im totally

vibing his tunes. Ive not read a more entertaining playlist likethis in a while, nor have I really listened to many of theAfrikaans artist out there. Cooler as ekke is definitely a cool

[10:53:52 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Hi Greta[10:54:09 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: How are you on this fine day?[10:55:08 AM] foxandlocket: Hi Zoe! Great thanks, how areyou?[10:55:36 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: I am feeling all good! Thanks

for joining ITK for a chat![10:55:54 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: So tell us - who is Fox &Locket?[10:56:42 AM] foxandlocket: Fox & Locket is my range ofhandbags and accessories.[10:57:30 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Thats such an interesting

name, where does it come from?[11:00:22 AM] foxandlocket: Well, an awesomely talentedgraphic designer friend of mine Jenna Shone came upwith the name and branding. "Fox" just sounds plain sexy,and because I often adorn items with vintage broochesand jewellery- the "Locket" refers to that.[11:02:39 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: I love it! Sexy vintage - whatmore could a girl want! So you recently moved to theMother City after being a Durban girl your whole life, areyou enjoying Cape Town?[11:04:10 AM] foxandlocket: Ah, Cape Town is amazing.Beautiful, fun and so much creative design stuff going on.

[11:05:47 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Cape Town is definitely theperfect place to be! Tell us about your new rangecoming out in February? What is the look of it and someof the inspiration behind it?[11:10:00 AM] foxandlocket: Well, the range is inspired by

travelling around the world in Art Decotransportation...heh heh. (I'm a sucker for deco). Thinkgraphics of bullet trains in high perspective, biplanes andoldsmobile cars. The bags are fairly small and neat, andlook kind of "retro-futuristic".[11:12:14 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Ooh, that sounds fabulous!Can't wait to see them, there is something crazy coolabout Art Deco! Where do you source your fabrics fromand what type of materials to your work with?[11:20:12 AM] foxandlocket: I like to support South Africaand cut down on carbon by using fabric that is made,printed and sold locally. I use a lot of Capetonians,Heather Moore (skinnylaminx.com) and JesseBreytenbach's (jessebreytenbach.co.za) textiles; as wellas fabric from Da Gama. I use natural fibres- cotton andlinens; because I love them and you can see the inherentquality in them. There is some leather in the range, whichis all from off cuts!


21/55

itk39

[11:22:10 AM] ITK MAGAZINE:

That is great - it is always such animportant thing to support our local

industry, and oh so green! Kudos!What was your path to becoming adesigner? I heard you actuallystudied architecture!

[11:27:26 AM] foxandlocket:

That's true- I completed myBachelors degree in Architecture,and worked as an architect for afew years. Doing that taught mehow to design beautiful structuresthat fulfil their function well. I startedsewing when I was 10, and havealways had an interest in fashion- sotranslating skills from designingbuildings to bags makes sense forme!


22/55

itk41

[11:29:06 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: It does indeed, and I guessthat is where the beautiful shapes and structures of yourbags come from :) You started off designing dresses, howdid that grow into bags and accessories?[11:34:31 AM] foxandlocket: My first love is dresses (Whichgirl doesn't love dresses ;)), and I still occasionally design

one-of a kind silk and jewel dresses; but basically thedemand for the bags exploded and so focussing on theseitems was a natural progression for the brand. I havenoticed that people love to buy accessories as gifts, andfinding something special for someone special is alwaysthe best feeling.[11:35:37 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: I know this is a toughquestion, but do you have a favourite piece?[11:40:36 AM] foxandlocket: Ooh, that is a tough one. Ilove the new "For all Travellers" range of bags, but myfavourite piece has to be the Siren Song dress. It is amidnight blue cocktail dress with parchment-delicatestraps and a 90 year old French Limoges brooch which Idesigned the dress around. The brooch is hand paintedwith a ship on a stormy sea.[11:43:01 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: I am experiencing fashion

jealousy at that description! What are some of theaccessories you do - I saw a very cute cupcake apronyou designed?[11:45:38 AM] foxandlocket: Aprons yes! Also "travellers"tiny pillow covers that fit those in-flight pillows they give

you; utility/ hip belts and things like that.[11:47:09 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Now for a very importantquestion, are you a tea or coffee drinker? I feel this revealsfundamental questions of personality ;)[11:47:40 AM] foxandlocket: Both! But if I HAD to choose-coffee.

[11:48:54 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Yay! That is very comforting toknow! Getting back to the basics, where can us fashionlovers find your range?[11:49:56 AM] foxandlocket: You can check out our websitefoxandlocket.com for current local stockists; and you canalso order online.

[11:50:37 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Do you sell any products on aninternational platform?[11:52:14 AM] foxandlocket: Yes, products are soldinternationally via etsy.com; we have exported to America,Singapore, Australia and the UK.[11:54:33 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: What kind of site is etsy.com?In your experience do you think the South African fashionindustry is successfully competing on an international level?[11:56:01 AM] foxandlocket: Etsy is like ebay but forhandmade goods. And yes I think South Africa hasincredibly talented people who are being recognisedinternationally- I think something in the water in SA breedscreativity.[11:58:08 AM] ITK MAGAZINE: Hahhaaa! I agree with you!One of the special aspects of Fox & Locket is that for everybag sold, you donate one. How does that work and who doyou donate the bags to?[12:01:17 PM] foxandlocket: Yup, I wanted Fox & Locket todo something good for people in need. In the past we havedonated bags to kids in children's homes, with sweets andclothes with them- we are also in contact with Jes Foord to

donate bags to her project which gives a handbag filledwith necessary items to rape victims.

New Mercedes-Benz SLK Mercedes will roll out the all-new SLKi 200 250 d 350 d l ti


48/55

Since ITK has to be on top of everything, and mebeing a specks freak, I found something that isgoing to change the revolution of driving! A coupleof issues ago we did the Audi A8 which gave you

the option to select the driving options to suite everydriver, that was nice, until Mercedes Benz camealong yet again with a revolutionary discovery. Nobetter model was selected that there classy SLK.

Mercedes has unveiled the 2011 SLK roadster, thethird generation of the vehicle since it first arrived in1996. The face of the Mercedes-Benz SLK receives abecoming redesign for 2011, featuring all-newheadlights that hark back to the Mercedes 190 SLfrom the 1950s. As you have seen on the pictures, itsnot an old money car anymore! Its almost confusionto the modern SL and CLC.

Arguably the most buzz-worthy feature on the newBenz SLK is the roadsters Magic Sky Control thatBenz will soon reveal in a world premiere. Magic SkyControl offers a panoramic roof option that allowsthe driver to change the glass roofs color from dark

to light with the touch of a button. Taking the optioninto mind, if Mercedes can change the colour ofglass, what will be next?

in 200, 250, and 350 model options.The 200 and 250 variants pack a 1.8-

litre four-cylinder engine producing185 hp and 204 hp, respectively. The

200 model completes the 0-60 sprintin fewer than seven seconds, the 250

besting that time by four-tenths of asecond while also achieving 45.5mpg in the combined cycle.

The SLK 350 boasts a 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 306-hpoutputthe same amount as rival BMW Z4 35iandcompletes the 0 60 mph jaunt in about 5 6 seconds with a The 2011 Mercedes-

completes the 0-60 mph jaunt in about 5.6 seconds with atop speed of 155 mph.

A steel suspension comes standard, but drivers can optfor a sports configuration with stifferdampers and springs,or choose the Dynamic Handling option that offerscontinually adjustable automatic damping.

The suspension basically senses various road conditionsand reacts accordingly. Choose your mood for the day,and your car will react to keep you in control and safe.

We expect nothing less to a car with expectation.The Dynamic Handling bundle also offers torque-vectoring disc brakes, which during intensive braking,Mercedes says, produce a defined rotational movementof the vehicle about the vertical axis in fractions of

seconds through selective brake actuation at the rearwheel on the inside of the bend.

In other words, the torque-vectoring brakes lendadditional stability during cornering. Previously it wasknown that a car with a perfect center balance has gotthe best stability. The new SLK does the same with thenew torque- vectoring disc breaks.

Interior and style will stay functional, sporty and

classy as always. But with the new shape, the colourchaining roof or convertible, who believes in lookinginside the car?

The 2011 MercedesBenz SLK will debut inthe United Kingdom inJune of this year, with

Mercedes announcingsticker prices as thedate nears.

ITK

BOYS

sometimes it is just too damn hot to wear your favourite jeans.Fortunately this summer shorts are now a great solution. You can nowdress them up or down, making them your most versatile wardrobebasic. Add a belt and collared shirt, with some loafers for the preppylook, or your favourite tee and sandals for a more laidback look.Colour is really hot this month, so be bold and do it in bright colours tomake sure youre no wallflower.

Rollin with the boys: Scuffed pants that drag along theground are a major no no! This summer if you are wearing pants, theyshould be rolled, rolled, rolled! This trend has already taken overEurope and has now reached our shores. This works particularly well

with skinny and slim fit pants, another must this season. Forget yourbiceps, it is all about the ankles now!

Its all in the detail: One thing a lady appreciates is a manwho knows how to dress, but one thing that a man often overlooksand a lady always notices is the small details. Adding a simpleaccessory can take your look from dreary to delicious. Be it a buckleor a belt, a big do is shining up with an innovative detail. Rock a floralbelt with your jeans and a white tee for a fun way to update the look.Keep your eye out for items with special details, like these great Mens

Drawstring Denim Pants and Hawaiian Canvas Belt, both from theHolmes Bros.

The Cape RoyalNOT SO ROYAL AT ALL!

Where do I begin? Well, you see, since the launch of The Cape Royal, Green Point ,many of us thought, wow, The WaldorfAstoria right out of Gossip GirlExclusive, Upmarket, A hotel/living space with a touch of class ! The address to have! Orisit just another one of those Cape Town establishments with a lot of pretence (just like the typical Capetonian). Gorgeous on


55/55

UR

SAY

j p p (j yp p ) gthe outside, but once you look deeper into the inside, it is as hollow as one of those nasty Easter Eggs you would buy atShoprite. A touch of class in looks but that is as far as it goes. In fact, the story begins on the afternoon of 29 January, 2010.

That very same morning my hairdresser told me that the venue is absolutely amazing! Seth Rotherham from Two OceansVibe wrote fabulous reviews on The Cape Royalliving the high life! My girlfriends, when one mentions Oh he has theaddress of The Cape Royal cannot stop smiling, youd think their pearly white teeth would start falling out one tooth at atime. I have to admit, I am long gone the plush and fabulous establishments you see, especially in Cape Town. Somehowthe minute something new opens with 5 star quality; they never seem to live up to their reputation. I enjoy the finer things inlife, but one thing that irks me most, is when you deal with venues and staff of a place of such calibor.It should not matterwho you are, you should get treated accordingly and that your every move and presence be recorded and that you get

given the Royal treatment.Plus money and class does not always represent BLING AND BOLD STATEMENTS BY WEARING LOUIS VUITTON SLAP BANG INYOUR FACE Come on now people! According to The Cape Royal, the venue has a 5 star rating(and looking deeper into

this, it has no such rating at all) You see, a venue has to go through a series of test so to speak before you can getaccreditation to your stars. But hey, this is The Cape Royal, lets slap up a Multimillion Rands apartment, get the best interiordecorators on board and get the image that is needed, get your staff to look goodand I bet non of their suits are of top

designer quality either! That of course is just on the periphery.

On my arrival and as I stepped onto the red carpetit was rather filthy as renovations was taking place in an open spacewithin the buildinga to let spacea restaurant area. The door was opened swiftly from the inside and I was greeted bythe doorman He guided me to the concierge NOW CONCEIRGE MEANINGMY JOB IS TO ORGANISE YOU ANYTHING,ANYWHERE, AND WILL GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH TO MAKE SURE, AS A GUEST, A GUEST OF OUR CLIENT, A GUEST TO THE HOTEL, walksout with an experience that will make you want to come back time and time again and even start dreaming of how youwould rob a bank or kidnap your wealthy ex boyfriend and put up a hideous amount as Ransom for himjust so that youcan own an apartment in the building.

Firstly, as I stepped down to his desk area he (organiser man the man who rules the

roost-Concierge that is) was in a conversation with another guest, who clearly lives in thebuilding- fair enough. When they saw me, the conversation ended, the guest left, heacknowledge me again, plus then prompted I was going to room, so and so. Not once didhe offer for me to sit in the chairs provided. Not once did he offer me something to drink.-It was a scorcher of day outside. Plus regardless of how long or short my stay was to be-with him at his front desk it is the service provided that will make me think,-aah, this is of top notch quality.
