David Tlale has established himself as one of the most innovative fashion designers working in South Africa today.

The SA Mint, over the course of its long history, has become recognised as one of the finest national mints in the world, dedicated not merely to coining currency, but doing so according to the highest standards of craftsmanship and design, backed by a strong ethos of preservation of South Africa’s historical and environmental heritage.

Put the two together and you get a fashion creation unlike any other, a fusion of luxurious fabrics and precious metals, couture catwalk trendsetting with a powerful conservation message.

Moving from matters of fashion to musical concerns, this issue is also a must for fans of rock legends, Pink Floyd. With the recent relaunch of the band’s entire catalogue, Classicfeel considers the band’s legacy and also offers one lucky reader a chance to win the Discovery CD box set, containing remastered editions of all 14 of the band’s albums, which normally retails for R1700 – an opportunity not to be missed.

Also in this issue: an interview with jazz drummer Vusi Khumalo, a look at the new book on the late South African artist, Alan Crump and, specially for dance lovers, a peek at what to expect at this year’s annual Vuyani Week.

All this and much more of the best music, theatre, visual art and lifestyle in the October edition of Classicfeel magazine, now available at your nearest branch of CNA or Exclusive Books.
