BESPOKE: Zara-man-may-2011-lookbook1

One of our favourite lookbooks has to be the Zara Men Lookbook.

Zara has been releasing monthly lookbooks for every season and style.

These lookbooks represent what Zara is doing every month and by far this is definitely a great lookbook.

BESPOKE:KAIZEN LOVES LOAFERS/SLIP ONS

Slip ons or commonly known as loafers in the American culture are typically low designed shoes with no laces which has a moccasin construction.

This classic design dates back in the 1930s in Norway. These shoes have gained popularity over the years and can be worn with almost everything from a slim fit suit to jeans, chinos and even shorts. You can go for the classic leather in brown or black, or be brave and go for the suede in the fruitiest color and team this up with a similar suede belt.

We know its winter but who cares, yes you will get cold feet (literally) but we are sure you have gone through worse just to look stylish.

Wolf Grey Jordan 5 Launch

One of the most highly anticipated nike sneaker releases this year, second to the Air Yeezy 2 is the Jordan 5 Wolf Grey. These kicks are finally hitting the South African shelves and Shesha is having a launch of this sneaker this coming saturday.

About the Jordan 5
he Air Jordan 5 was released in 1990 and once again featured innovative and creative designs and features. New Coach, Higher Hopes?

Phil Jackson replaced Doug Collins as head coach of the Bulls in the 1989-90 season. This year was the best record that the Bulls since Jordan joined the team as well as a franchise best record at 55-27. Jordan also hit his personal best when he hit 69 points again Cleveland. Jordan also hit 92 three-pointers compared to only 68 in all of the prior seasons combined! Jordan again took home the scoring title, All-Star, First Team, and All-Defense.High Flying Design The Air Jordan 5 featured a unique style cooked up by Tinker Hatfield.

The Air Jordan 5 was inspired by the WW2 Mustang fighter plane. The most obvious element of the inspiration is the shark teeth shapes on the midsole of the shoe. The Air Jordan 5 also was the first Jordan shoe to have a clear sole. This not only added a nice look to the Air Jordan 5, but provided far better traction. The Air Jordan 5 also featured an iridescent reflective tongue and lacelocks. Yellow Soles Assist Retro Sales Though the Air Jordan 5 would sell just fine on its own, the fact that the shoes had clear rubber soles helped convince many Jordan collectors to buy a retro pair.

The Air Jordan 5 soles would turn yellow over time and almost amber. The Jordan 5 is not alone with the yellow sole blues – the Jordan 6, Jordan 11, and Jordan 16 all had major parts of the soles made of clear rubber.The Air Jordan 5 was retroed in late 1999 in White/Black-Fire Red and Black/Black-met silver and once again there was a great demand for them. Retro+ models were also produced of the Air Jordan 5. One of them featured Michaels high school colors (Laney High School).The Air Jordan 5 is set to retro again in 2006. Keep your eyes open for these!

If you are interested in getting a new pair of Air Jordan 5s Shesha this saturday.

‎​MIR|AGE presents the exclusive launch of Bisquit Cognac

‎​MIR|AGE presents the exclusive launch of Bisquit Cognac

When:
28 May 2011

Where:
HUSH, Rosebank

Why:
If you enjoys the finer things in life such as quality alcohol and partying in Joburg's upclass clubs, then this perfect for you.

History of Bisquit Cognac
Founded by Alexandre Bisquit in 1819, the house of Bisquit, with its home at the Château de Lignères by the banks of the Charente River, had a long-standing family tradition until the house was sold to Pernod Ricard in 1966. Said to have been among the favorite cognacs of Winston Churchill and King George IV, it is popular in the Anglo-Saxon countries and hence was bought by the South African group Distell in 2009.  

In 2009, Bisquit was bought by the South African group Distell from the former owner Pernod Ricard. In fact, when contacting Bisquit, we got through to the company head quarters in South Africa. It seems unclear, whether there is still an actual physical location in the cognac region that is associated with an estate or a cognac house.

In 2010, the Cognac house launched its products in South Africa.

Kaizen Lifestyle: Light Fashion

“LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WEAR BORING CLOTHES” not too sure who said that, but it’s a quote beyond true.

In fashion colour is the spice, variety is the joy and detail is never minor it is what makes an outfit an outfit. Yet way too many people are going through life in dull, outdated and simply wrong clothes. Which gets me wondering, who exactly is to blame for that. Is it the designers, the fashion industry at large, is the media selling wrong images or does the majority of our nations population just not have any sense of style, whatsoever.

Fashion is about illusions, inspiring, personality, uniqueness and most of all a tight link to identity. Its often been said that when you look good you feel good, not when you think look good which is how many people fall victim to bad fashion or no style at all. Dressing well according to who you are, what you do and what’s current is not just for a select few but it is a personal projection of each individual. Here’s a tip or two for all our readers: style is not defined by price, or trying too hard nor is it by body shape, it is merely an extension of who we are. We all have it in us, after all there are only so many make-over’s that can be done for the rest, get in touch with your inner self, keep up and stay BLACK. From make-up, to hair and all have fun with it, make an impression.

Kaizen Lifestyle: DRINKS TO IMPRESS HER

DRINKS TO IMPRESS HER

With the weekend upon us and so many people getting ready to paint the town red, our fashion editor who loves partying compiled a list of drinks that will surely get you some action.

MARTINI GOLD BY DOLCE AND GABBANA

Italian duo Domenico Dolce and partner Stefano Gabbana have unleashed a designer drink. They have partnered with martini to create this secret recipe drink bottled in a luxurious gold bottle at only R245, you can either choose to share with friends or decorate your room with it.

CIROC BY SEAN COMBS aka Diddy

This five times distilled vodka manufactured in France comes in red berry and coconut you can choose your favorite. It is claimed by its promoters that it is distinguished from other vodkas by the fact that it is derived from grapes in contrast to corn, sorghum, rye or even wheat. So go ahead and CIROC away.

 ION VODKA BY ROBERTO CAVALLI

Now if you really want to go big I would suggest you hunt for this drink. Why? Because it is said to be American handmade and filtered ten times, 100% organic and because it is by legendary fashion mogul Roberto Cavalli.

Kaizen Lifestyle:For the MINI fans:Car boot-compatible folding bike

MINI presents the eco-friendly solution to the parking space problem in city centres. The brand is celebrating the comeback of the folding bike with a modern version of the practical means of locomotion. The special gimmick: when folded, the MINI Folding Bike fits into the boot of almost every vehicle – and most definitely into the MINI. When travelling into the city, simply park the car outside the overcrowded city centre, then continue on the bike and relax. Park & Ride with an environmentally conscious understatement!
The bike is also absolutely suitable for commuters and impresses in urban travels. When folded, it can be taken free of charge on public transport.
The MINI Folding Bike presents itself as a genuine high-tech vehicle: high-quality components, a light-weight aluminium frame and a clever folding mechanism make the trendy bike the ideal companion while travelling. The bike can be folded and unfolded in just a few seconds. The bike is folded along the crossbar and handlebars. In addition the saddle can be retracted and the pedals be folded up. This makes the bike extremely easy to handle whilst saving space. Fitted in a sleeve under the saddle is a practical transport bag. The MINI Folding Bike can easily match the riding characteristics of a "normal" bike. Weighing less than 11 kilos and equipped with 8 gears and 20-inch wheels, it is quick and versatile. The teflon-coated chain prevents annoying soiling caused by chain oil and reduces the wear and tear on the components. The comfortable gel saddle ensures comfort. Thanks to the front and rear mudguards, you can carry on peddling regardless, even in the rain. Good visibility on the road is guaranteed by the accompanying reflectors.
Even on two wheels MINI proves its unmistakable design expertise. The bike comes in exquisite matt black. Silver highlights are set by the MINI lettering on the crossbar, the brand logo on the handlebars and the Union Jack motif on the rear forks. The absolute eye-catchers are the bike chain and bell in bold neon yellow.

The MINI Folding Bike is available as of August 2011 on the Internet at www.MINI.de/shop and from selected MINI dealers. The bike comes completely mounted.
