Naked broadband might be all the rage (take that telephone companies), but naked-walking-down-the-street isn’t quite as acceptable just yet (one day… one day). Maybe you’ve already got clothes. Maybe you’re fully dressed as we speak and don’t need to cover up. I don’t know, I’m not stalking you. But, on the off chance that you DO need new clothes, and you need them quick, here’s a brilliant tip! Shop online at Mooks.com. It’s easy, it’s fun (well, ok, 4 on a scale of 1 to 10) and best of all, shipping is quick smart so you wont be left #hanging# for long.

Accents are a funny thing, take the English language for example, so many ways to say ‘park the car’, so many ways to say ‘diplomatic immunity’. And isn’t it funny how we assume other languages only have one accent each…like surely all French people laugh in ‘Haw haw haw’, surely all Germans gargle spit when requesting another stein? It’s funny what happens when one culture interprets another. Mooks explores this ‘phenomenon’ in its spring collection, looking particularly at the way Japanese youth culture re-interprets western sub cultures, making them their own.
Cape Town. Home to a conceptual culture resonating with creative energy. An urban underground of over 5 million aspiring vagabonds. A kaleidoscope of colour, a dynamic space. A force of artistic talent. Nikhil Singh. Buffy. Justin Poulter & Simon Berndt. Colwyn Thomas. Wessel Snyman. Zhané Warren. Alistair Palmer. Mustafa Maluka. Michael Taylor. These renegades are seriously pushing the creative boundaries in Cape Town. But, like a beat, the list goes on and on. So here’s a peak at some insanely cool Capetonian creatives.
