Your style is…Classic, clean & simple

So far 2015 has been…Busy and filled with lessons! With January and February being boiling hot in Joburg, it has been the ideal ice cream weather! The most exciting thing that has happened is the launch of Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream’s new packaging.

What makes Joburg shine for you?The diversity & contrast. From exploring the hipster streets of Braamfontein, the real African-ness of the town, to the sky-scrapers of Sandton, the smell of spices in Fordsburg & Mayfair to the Asian community in Cyrildene, there is never a dull moment!

Favorite tweetersThats a tricky one! I follow way too many people :)

Being an ice-cream aficionado, what is your favourite flavour - if you HAD TO pick just oneGreen Tea Matcha & White Chocolate

wor

d Hello Joburgers!As Autumn approaches (albeit slowly), we find ourselves scrambling to enjoy the hot sultry

weather we have been having before the chill in the air sets in. This month we have taken to explore the top five foodie markets Joburg has to offer. What a wonderful way to

spend a sunny morning, outdoors sampling the best of Joburg’s gourmet offerings. Why not grab some organic parsley and mushrooms while you are there and then try our delicious recipe from Cara-Lisa on page 20. Alternatively, venture out to taste some delicious Tapas at Escondido or a lunch with a view at Katy’s Palace Bar on the first Sunday of the month.

And speaking of interesting views, our cover feature, The Beer Company is a must-visit. Situated at Rand Airport, it offers a unique setting with views of planes and the Joburg horizon beyond. Not only that, it serves delicious food and a wide variety of quality craft beer. We raise our glasses to that!

And if raising your glass and being out and about at night is your thing, we have plenty to showcase this month, from musical offerings at the Orbit Jazz Club to interesting artists at the Mzansi Gallery.

All in all, you are sure not to be bored this March with a copy of Hello Joburg in your one hand and a glass of chilled craft beer (or organic fruit juice) in the other. Cheers!

Visionaries, art collectors and entrepreneurs Mark and Christine Valentine and Elize van der

Merwe blazed a trail to their own Emerald City alongside the evolving landscape of Kramerville. The force that originally rallied around Kramerville’s trendy ‘ware-house’ transformation four years ago, the team’s kingdom of enchanted venues continue to develop and capture the attention of those desperately searching for a little magic, a little madness and a whole lot of memories.

Six Desmond Street birthed Katy’s Palace Bar. The space allowed her to unleash her eclectic energy and influence as the first neighbour to move in above existing residents – Amatuli. The original show room that started it all.

Mark, Christine and Elize grabbed the floorboards of this triple storey venue with vigour to re-establish the dead space as Katy’s Palace Bar in 2012 on the third floor and Sir James’ Bar on the second. A few braai’s on the roof of the building on a Friday night coupled with an inherent knowing that the site was magical, spurred the innovators to build Katy’s Palace Bar on the roof of Amatuli Artefacts

in Kramerville which houses a plethora of African and Indian furnishings and decorative items that the owners of Amatuli have sourced, collected and traded over years of travel. Intricately laced doorways, fire-places, cupboards and light fittings dot the different levels and stairwells.

Then in 2012, in need of a grand venue to celebrate his birthday, Mark launched the treasure cove into a functioning and viable event space with his own birthday bash which has seen the venue become the ultimate canvas for any imposing party from wild weddings to slick corporate functions and of course the all indulgent birthday party – whether you’re 21 or 51. The demand for the venue has been both a comfort and a challenge.

To pre-empt and answer the nagging voice of fans who insist that Katy’s should be open more regularly, be warned that too much of a good thing might spoil the fun hence the much anticipated lunch at Katy’s on the first Sunday of every month.6 Desmond Street Kramerville Sandton073 857 0071 [email protected] www.katyspalacebar.co.za

Katys Palace BarThe magical venue situated on the third floor of 6 Desmond Street, Kramerville, boasts beautiful views, eclectic furniture and an atmosphere yet to be matched.

WHAT: Day Birger Et Mikkelsen

Launched its flagship store in South Africa

WHERE: Hyde Park Corner

WHEN: 4 February 2015

ABOUT: Day Birger Et Mikkelsen, a

Danish brand for women founded by

Keld Mikkelsen, is a luxurious mix of

modern classics, embellished details,

exquisite craftsmanship and inventive

elements. They offer a selection of

essentials and eveningwear - with a

contemporary take on everyday couture.

Any fabulous brand calls for an evening

to match. It just doesn’t get more

magnificent than this event! With Vicky

Crease catering a beautiful array of

luxurious cakes and goodies and Cara

Frew performing, it was a great kick-start

to 2015. A white wonderland took over

the Hyde Park centre court and we are

extremely excited to announce that the

store is officially open! Welcome to Jozi!

WHO ATTENDED: The dynamic

duo Ryan Hignett and Shashi Naidoo;

Tamerin Jardine; Penny Lebyane; Jen Su;

the dapper Maps Maponyane and the

always-lovely Tamara Dey.

Functionality is going to become one of the buzz words for 2015. Clothing

will be practical and comfortable without sacrificing style. The deconstructed look will be prominent: soft trench coats, more flowing fabric, kimono style coats, oversized clothing with strong Asian elements (particularly for fashion-forward men). This is a reaction to the skinny figure-hugging fashion of the last few years.

In terms of footwear, the trend remains that of comfort above all else. It’s an easy, pain-free approach to footwear: sneakers, sandals and sliders, as well as the continued influence of sporty footwear. This is a continuation from last year’s ‘Sports Luxe’ trend which is still very evident but in a much more refined way.

DAY BIRGER ET MIKKELSEN LAUNCH

MEET ALAN & KRISHEN: They are Joburg’s fashion forward duo. They will bring you front row fashion and the latest in street style every month, keeping you updated on the hottest Jozi trends. T @AlanKrishen

Flowing, easy-to-wear fabrics have been seen on local and international runways.

Silhouettes are less form-fitting with oversizing

becoming a new trend.

Comfortable footwear complements more formal looks to create relaxed sophistication.
