ARCHIVES: A TOUCH OF VANITY: Lemlem: Protecting African luxury

On a cold evening in New York – temperatures barely reached 12 degrees, an icy wind seemed to be holding downtown Manhattan in its frosty grip – supermodel, maternal health advocate and clothing designer Liya Kebede is sitting on the leather banquette of Italian restaurant Sant Ambroeus, in Nolita; her long frame is wrapped in a comfortable sweater and dark jeans.

“We had all these incredible weavers that were losing their jobs, and they were not living in great conditions, and they didn’t have a market for their goods anymore. “You know that at some point, you’re going to hit a bottom and you don’t know how to always keep finding funds. So, the idea was to do something a bit more sustainable. For me the definition of sustainable even today is very, very wide… it’s not just about materials and things, it’s about the human elements.

It’s early May, she’s wearing an iconic Lemlem plunge neck dress with a Lemlem swimming costume underneath and we’re talking via the now ubiquitous Zoom platform, thousands of kilometres away from each other; her soft and resolved voice once again grounds the conversation, past the unbearable lightness of talking about fashion in times of hardship, pain and loss, that has been afflicting the world for the past year.

Sending parcels and mail through the SA Post Office is about to get more expensiveSending mail and parcels through the South African Post Office will become more expensive in April. I will never trust a parcel to the SA Post Office again. Their slogan: “We deliver whatever it takes”, morphed into: We deliver whatever we don’t take. Bunch of looting thieves! Abysmal service for years and years😡 lootersmustfall You know why because if you send thru the post office you are lucky if you ever see your parcel again and if you order something from overseas you never see it again ! Couriers are reliable that’s and everyone uses them ! Soon no one will use the post office for anything
