Thandy the TeeLady Turns 21....well not really

TV personality Thandy Matlaila, also known as The TeeLady in the PR world celebrated her birthday with close friends at Zar the past week.

The lady decided to have the intimate do midweek as to avoid gate crashers...and she succeeded. The do only boasted her close friends and media friends.

As you walked in, you were greeted in true Peroni style by the sexy promoter girls who escorted you to get your photos taken by the Peroni Wall (talk about branding). Peroni floated freely throughout the evening and great platters to keep hunger at bay.

Entertainment was provided by the delicious Boki (Idols 2010 finalist who's also releasing his album in the coming month). Watch out for this boy because he gives a new meaning to the statement "Black Justin Timberlake". DJ Franky took over and got everybody onto the dance floor...even MR Sushi King Himself aka Kenny Kunene, who kept the VVIP booth to himself and his business associates.
In true Zar Style, they presented the birthday girl with a bottle of Vauve to toast with her guests. Talk about great hospitality
Thanx for a great an Teelady an KAIZEN wishes you many many years to come. Till next year same time

EMPOWERMENT:SA FASHION WEEK WINTER COLLECTIONS 2012

A feast of local fashion is on the cards for Johannesburg in September as SA's premier designer platform, SA Fashion Week, prepares to launch the Winter 2012 Designer Collections, its 20th seasonal showing since inception in 1997, as well as the inaugural SA Fashion Week Designer Capsule Collection with official retail partner, Edgars, a three-year partnership to showcase and promote leading local designers.

The two-week fashion blitz that kicks off on 22 September 2011 will wrap up with the Summer 2011 Designer Pop Up Shop from 30 September – 2 October 2011 in Sandton City's Fountain Court.

The SA Fashion Week Designer Capsule Collection at Edgars is scheduled to go live on 21 September at the Melrose Arch flagship store where it will be a permanent installation of eight to ten designers housed in a specially demarcated 70sqm space.

Six permanent designers - Clive Rundle, Lunar, Colleen Eitzen, Black Coffee, Two and Chanelle will be supplemented by between two or three additional designers which will rotate every month. The ranges will be seasonal and will include accessories and hats.

The SAFW Winter 2012 Collections will include top local designers such as  Amanda Laird Cherry, Clive Rundle, Ephraim Molingoana, Tiaan Nagel, Naked Ape  and Vesselina Pentcheva as well as bright new fashion star, Joel Janse van Vuuren who wowed audiences with his Summer 2011 collection earlier this year.

It will also include the Elle/Mr. Price New Talent Show featuring eight new designers. The Elle/Mr Price New Talent show has become a highlight of the annual fashion calendar and is generally regarded as the fashion industry's finest talent incubator having produced several top designers such as Terrence Bray, Jacques van der Watt, Ella Buter, Tiaan Nagel and David Thlale since its inception fourteen years ago.

The SAFW 2011 student competition sponsored by  Vodacom 4U, which this year tasked  second and final year design students across the country with the challenge of recycling an existing denim garment into a dress, is expected to deliver an equally sparkling burst of creativity as they aim to meet the brief to deliver garments that are high design, contemporary and de-constructed and using printing, crafting or other handwork to "rework" the fabric.

The winners will be announced at the SAFW Pop Up Shop on Saturday 3 September. The winners in all the categories as well as the winning colleges, will receive Apple Mac products. The prize for the winning final year student also includes an internship with a top local designer.

 

Having had a sneak peek at the key trends for  winter 2012, shoppers will be able to stock up on all the hot items for summer from 60 local fashion and accessory designers the following week as the Summer 2011 Designer Pop Up Shop goes live for three days in Sandton City's Fountain Court.

The SA Fashion Week Winter 2012 Designer Collections will be staged at the Crowne Plaza Johannesburg - Rosebank. Tickets are R175 and may be booked directly from www.safashionweek.co.za from 23 August.South African Fashion Week Winter 2012 Collections

KAIZEN EVENT:Mzansi’s Most Popular Str.Crd blogs - Facebook on Steroids

SA is about to experience a popularity contest like no other. Four blogging teams from four cities have just four weeks to battle it out for the title 'Mzansi's Most Popular'. Whichever team gains the most Fans and Followers using any means at their disposal wins the competition - and walks away with a cash prize of R45k!

Mzansi's Most Popular is a countrywide blogging and social networking competition that culminates in Africa's only street culture showcase at STR CRD 2011 on Heritage Day, 24 September.

The STR CRD team has hand-picked the cream of SA's street blogging talent to get South Africa switched on and plugged in to the real urban youth cultures of their city's streets. This is Twitter with muscle and Facebook on steroids in a competition where every click counts.

Teams from Jozi, Cape Town, PE and Durban must win over the most Fans and Followers with their own brand of urban street culture and use any means at their disposal to do it. To get ahead, they must push the power of social networking and word-of-mouth popularity and dig up the best street talent, culture and style their cities have to offer.

Additional exposure on SonyMax, Motribe, Mahala.co.za and 5FM will give the teams a massive boost in their battle for supremacy as the competition takes each city's brand of urban cool to a nationwide audience.

Each team blogs daily about anything they consider to have street cred; kicks, skate parks, park jams, gossip, street fashion, events - whatever each individual blogger thinks has street cred.

Competition kicks off 24 August. Winners are announced 30 September.

Who's got Street Cred?

Team Jozi: Bloody Sweat Clique [www.strcrd.com/bsc] is Galebowe Mahlatsi, creator of the Thesis Social Jams in Soweto, Justin McGee street fashion photographer and Kitso Moremi, of The Blagg.

Team Cape Town: Bitches Must Know! [www.strcrd.com/bmk] is Paul Ward, social photographer at I AM PAUL WARD , Nicci St Bruce of City Kids and Hayden Manuel, sneaker freak blogger at Hakesy The Fat Cat

Shelflife adding new stripes to PUMA.

Cape Town based store Shelflife Store and Gallery have joined forces with international sports and lifestyle clothing and sneaker brand PUMA to create their very own sneakers range for men and women inspired by grafitti. This is a first for an independent retail store to collaborate with an international well-known brand to create it's own range.

The "Train-Runner” series draws inspiration from the local trains bold yellow & grey “caution-tape” design". The South-African metrorail trains are notoriously dangerous for many reasons, making this train system internationally famous and a highly sought after target for graffiti writers worldwide...while the “Laces & Ladies” series of Suedes highlights the particular subculture of graffiti called “Shriiimping”...or the art of writing on girls.

The Suede made its first appearance in 1968 at the Mexico Olympics. Originally a running shoe, has grown from strength to strength ever since to be adopted by basket-ballers and other athlete alike. It’s equally deep cultural roots lie deep in the heritage of street and hip-hop culture as was worn by B-boys in the mid 70’s.

In South Africa the Suede played a big part in the mid 80’s& 90’s in the skate scene being the most hard wearing flat bottom sneaker available. Over the years the Puma Suede has been reinvented in different cuts, styles and brand collaborations ...and finally, today, history has once again made with the SHELFLIFE editions, securing it’s place amongst graffiti, street & sneaker collector culture here in SA & worldwide.

Available only from the finest list stores worldwide, including: Colette ,Undefeated, Mita, HHV, Solebox, Overkill, White Sole, Azita, Asphaltgold, afew & Shelflife Store

Kaizen Music: Watch the throne

Hip Hop mogul's Jay-Z and Kanye West finally dropped their collabo album tilted Watch The Throne this past monday despite rumours that both Yeezy and Jay were in loggerheads over the tours and some suspicions of Illuminati in the album artwork. Their first single 'H.A.M' recieved some criticism but their second single 'OTIS' was well recieved by many crtics.

We dug deeper just so that we can get the album for our Hip Hop fans who cannot at the moment get their hands on the physical album as it due to be released later.

We at Kaizen Lifestyle Magazine have mixed reactions about this album but we will spare you our criticism and rather let the listeners and followers draw their own conclusions.

So all you have to do is sit back and press play on the widget below. Enjoy

KAIZEN REVIEWS:Belvedere launch at Club HUSH

Vivid luxury in association with Club HUSH held the Belvedere vodka launch under the theme MAKE IT BELIVE held at the uber rosebank plush club . The dress code for the event was all white and to be honest when I read the invite, I was not impressed because I do not own a number of white item besides the usual white shirt and bowtie but luckily I found my white suit which i wore to a family wedding five years ago an made it work in 2011.

As usual the red carpet was rolled out, snow yes I said snow, and cocktails were flowing and served by the very hot models in white. The guest list was impressive as always with model, wife and yummy mummy Lee Ann Liebenberg with her husband, former Scandal actress Rami Chuene, model and Selimathunzi’s Lunga Shabalala, YFM’S sexy Eda Rose and some fellow bloggers just to name a few.

Dj jawz kept the crowd intoxicated with some Hip hop and Naija sounds. Overall this event was well put together, the deco gave a Russian cold night feeling, with the sexy sultry HUSH dancers to provide some eye candy for those without dates and the guests really put an effort and actually kept to the theme except for a few stubborn ones.

Check out some of the party pics below

BESPOKE Picture of the week: suit with red loafers.

We picked up this image via Tumblr and we were blown away by the stylish emsemble of this outfit. With summer upon us in just months, we predict that we should be spotting a lot men pairing blazers with shorts and finishing off the loon with a pair of loafers.This look is perfect for casual friday for the office( that's if you're allowed to wear shorts) or when you plan on going out for drinks with friends. Alternatively if do not own a pair loafers then a pair of Converse All Star (preferably white) will do.
