The anchored trend
All aboard as summer sets sail; Nautical is here to stay. Drifting away from the ‘Royal Navy recruit’ to the more refined ‘Yacht club’ look, it is underplayed, it is at ease and it is playful.
The signature stripes are splashed with touches of beige, cream and red whilst navy takes authoritarian command in a shade just short of black. Detailing includes touches of gold, buttoning and embroideries and the look calls for strong yet simplistic accessories.
The perfected nautical statement will have you sailing the fashion sea in style – and you don’t need to own the yacht.

No 'Vogue' for Africa
African photographer Mario Epanya's proposition of an African edition of Vogue has been rejected by publishing house, Condé Nast.
Epanya, who created fictitional covers and editorials for his campaign, posted on his Facebook page: "DEAR ALL. The Wait is over. Condé Nast said NO to an African license of VOGUE. So this is the last cover. Enjoy, but it's a beginning of something."
African-American lifestyle site Madame Noirewrites: "Obviously, Vogue can still get away with a few editorials featuring Africans and African Americans sprinkled here and there. Although their "Black Issue" flew off the magazine racks in 2008, are you really surprised that Conde Nast rejected the idea?"
Some of those commenting on the story have called on Africans to boycott the other 18 international Vogue editions and opt for local magazines, such as Arise, instead.

Sunglass Hut Style Scoop: Madonna and Dolce& Gabbana present MDG.
Madonna and Dolce& Gabbana present MDG, the first sunglass collection personally designed by the singer in collaboration with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
Sunglass Hut will be launching the MDG collection in South Africa in July 2010. Bearing the dazzling MDG logo, the collection marks Madonna’s first foray into the world of eyewear. According to Domenico Dolce and Steffano Gabbana, “Designing an eyewear line with Madonna was a new experience for us. The oversized and wrap around designs are sexy and very feminine. Madonna’s creative contribution and unique point of view were key, even in designing the MDG logo”
The collection
The MDG collection represents a very feminine, super cool sun collection boasting broad shapes such as wrapping, oval and squared with cutting-edge, easy-to-wear designs. The fancy shades are well balanced with more sober colors and distinctively marked with the new MDG logo on the temples.
MDG ad campaign
Madonna will be the face of the MDG ad campaign. Shot in New York by Steven Klein, the
campaign features Madonna as the mysterious and sensual star of a noir film caught on camera in the company of an intriguing man played by super model Tyson Ballou. To lend a cinematographic feel, the campaign was shot with a video camera and the snapshots appear as frames of a short film while the layout of the prints recalls that of an old-fashioned movie film. The voyeuristic images metaphorically evoke the essence of a star such as Madonna: admired, spied, adored, pursued and desired, but never fully revealed, shrouded as she is in dark glasses and mystery.
Home to the worlds top sunglass brands and with over 100 stores, Sunglass Hut is brings this exciting new collaboration to South Africa. Fans and style icons alike are now able to get their own piece of Madonna.

Why is 72 the key number for this project?After exposure to HIV, victims of rape have just 72 hours to visit the clinic and start a course of potentially lifesaving PEP treatment. With funding from Project PEP, the Elton John AIDS Foundation can ensure the clinic remains open day and night, providing 24/7 access for this crucial first treatment.
Help raise awareness and spread this 72 hour message by entering our competition and uploading a photo inspired by 'You, Your Shoes and 72'. You will be in with a chance to win exclusive prizes and the opportunity to be featured in an exhibition at the launch event of Project PEP at Selfridges in London on 29th October.
