With the latest collections filling the shelves of the Mall of Mauritius, soon to be worn by the mall walking models, it occurred to me that I had not written anything about one of my fashion spots in Curepipe - NEWGEN. Indeed, the Fashion Store has opened its shutters in Curepipe for a few months now and I must admit that I was positively surprised. It has a very urban store design with, nice options...for girls. Yes, once again, it seems boys are left on the side. Still, I decided to sneak a peek one day, and ended up buying Rs900-worth of clothing. But how exactly can we shop there? Why would I send you there? Read more.

"Ma passion est le maquillage depuis tres jeune, mais je fais cela 'professionellement' depuis l'age de 13 ans," confides the young man... As the Bagatelle Fashion Week climaxes this weekend (it's probably going to be an aborted climax but the formula has a nice ring to it!), it's time for a top-notch Fashion Update!

The 18 year old, who will be turning 19 in two days, studies Marketing at the Charles Telfair Institute and has already completed his first semester! The young make-up prodigy has not wasted a single day, for he has, indeed, started his degree right after his HSC results in February, earlier this year. From personal anecdotes to make-up tips and trends, discover the leading make-up artist, a true artist: Cedric Lanappe! Image Consultant Danila Lacoste accepted to answer my questions today at the Bagatelle Fashion Week, to the delight of my male readers! This is going to be helpful, so I would suggest to read it all! Always smiling and inviting, we start by going over her job as image consultant, which, basically, consists of a 'relooking' assistance, a la Magnifique by Christina, only that she usually accompanies her clients on long term "C'est tout un suivi."

She seems to be everywhere right now, and it is honestly well deserved. The 20 year old Fashion blogger, who'll be turning 21 shortly, is currently studying English Literature at the University of Durham, in England, and has been able to check a) author, b) blogger and c) copy writer to her to-do list. Special mention should be made about the highly awaited September issue of People magazine, which Alexandra is co-editing. With 4 months break ending in October, the pretty trendsetter, it seems, will have her hands full! After rising to such an indisputable recognition in the Mauritius fashion sphere, Alexandra's contribution to this week's Fashion Updates was more than crucial. Want to know what the rising Papess of the Mauritian fashion industry has to say about the Bagatelle Fashion Week? Read more! NOW. If you haven't heard of her name just yet, you must certainly have seen her work on Facebook (if you haven't, here's to remedy this: LINK)! This is precisely why she is on MODE-K to talk about the Fashion Week. The more she shoots, the more important she continues to grow in the small strata of photography and fashion.

Acclaimed and appreciated fashion designer, Annabelle Fleury talks to MODE-K about The Fashion Week 2013 held at the Bagatelle Mall of Mauritius, all week starting today! With much hassle over the appellation 'Fashion Week', I thought it would be interesting to have the opinions of important figures in the Mauritian Fashion industry, as far as design is concerned. First to open up is Annabelle Fleury, who has both a very poised and thought-through statement about the Bagatelle Fashion Week 2013. A Facebook user has vehemently put forward the fact that fashion designers have shunned the event because of the financial implications involved, disregarding the whole essence of this Fashion event. Yet, Annabelle says this is not true! Proof that we all need to verify our facts before making general statements. As the sun is slowly setting on Mauritius, an unsettled sphere is about to burst into vain and unnecessary excitement. You guessed right, it's the Bagatelle Mall of Mauritius Fashion Week! FACT: Monday will be the launch of the Fashion Week through an open pop-up boutique to showcase the best outfits from each collection. Models will be sporting the latest collections and literally walking the mall on the 25th, 26th and 27th. 500 privileged fashionistas will grace the mall for a privatized shopping spree, blended with a glamor ambiance. Starting tomorrow and due to last until Sunday the 28th, the event promises nothing much to look forward to, and it seems, even the management is already tired of hoping for this yet another marketing strategy to be a success. Wondering why I wrote what I wrote? Read more!

MODE-K is back & fittingly so! Indeed, last week was marked by yet another turn in the small world of magazines in Mauritius. A men's magazine, dedicated entirely to men, to us and our lives, is FINALLY here, well almost. I did not hear much about it; wondering perhaps the fact that it is free somehow renders it impermeable to or unworthy of criticism. I just got my hands on a copy of the 44-page magazine and deemed it right to speak out, as a man, as a fashion enthusiast and, well, a blogger. Short, quickly-read and certainly interesting with regards to it being the pioneer of men's lifestyle magazine...but there's always more than what meets the eye! |
