Faux furs and coats were the order of the night, from Rich Mnisi to ImprintZA. The cast of 'Kings of Jo'burg' made sure to dazzle, from creative prints on Zolisa Xaluva, angelic white hues from Maurice Paige, and fun rock and roll vibes from Llewellyn Cordier. The queen of 'Kings of Jo'burg' Connie Ferguson opted for a simple yet elegant white coat that brought her all-black outfit to life. Cindy Mahlangu rocked a black boob-tube dress that showed off her curved body. The actress kept her look clean and minimalistic with a simple diamond ring accessory. Actress Thembi Seete brought the jewel with her figure-hugging Otiz Seflo dress and rocked a platinum blonde fringe hairstyle. Hollywood was also in the building with executive producer Samad Davis and actor Malik Yoba in attendance. Yoba had everybody wanting to grab a picture with him, and he was ready to smile and snap away. The night was a content creator's paradise with photo and TikTok moments floating all around.

Opulence and glamorous shone at Nedbank International Polo.

Whether you're a fan of the polo and familiar with the game or not, few can deny the palpable excitement in the air as guests witnessed with close match, which saw Argentina claim a narrow victory. But the stars were there for the fashion, with guests like soccer legend Teko Modise telling TRUELOVE, 'I'm here for the horses and I'm here for the fashion but, most importantly, for the fashion. I love fashion, I love seeing how people actually express themselves via fashion.' A lover of fashion, soccer legend Teko Modise is most excited to see how guests embody avant garde style at the Nedbank International Polo. #NedbankPolo — TRUELOVE Magazine (@TrueLoveMag) May 17, 2025 As the sun set over Johannesburg's prestigious Inanda Club, here are some looks we spotted at the Nedbank International Polo: Shantal and Bohang Moeko in Imprint ZA Nirvana Nokwe-Mseleku in Lindani Styling Lula Odiba Teko Modise Dr Tamaryn Green Nxumalo in Sherif Tailor and Ze Nxumalo Mzukusi Mbane in Imprint ZA Erin-Jane Miller and Bryan Miller Tshiamo Modisane Chef Benny Masekwameng

The Outsize Artistic Legacy of Koyo Kouoh
When I met Koyo Kouoh earlier this year, the Investec Cape Town Art Fair had flooded the city with curators, collectors, artists, and admirers. At Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), where Kouoh had reigned as director since 2019, she was in the middle of hosting, chairing, and orchestrating a week that pulsed with creative momentum. She arrived a few minutes late—unsurprising, given her high demand. Still, she walked in like someone who knew exactly what time it was. No wasted movements, no small talk. There was a cadence to her focus that felt boardroom-sharp, perhaps a holdover from her former life in finance. The conversation opened like a ledger: direct, deliberate, and structured. But then we spoke of art, and the edges softened. When we reached the subject of community, artists on the continent, and the work happening in Cape Town, Dakar, and across the African diaspora, her posture shifted, her voice warmed, and her eyes brightened. You could feel it then: the depth of Kouoh's love for this world she helped build, not just as a curator or cultural gatekeeper but as someone who had devoted her life to creating room for others to thrive. We spoke about the need to celebrate artists locally before seeking recognition abroad (as she put it: 'We have to see ourselves first'); about staying rooted, even when the winds of relevance and ambition try to lift you off the ground; and about the importance of keeping hubris in check—how one must always remain focused on the work, not on the noise that surrounds it. It struck me that day—and still does, in the wake of Kouoh's sudden death, at just 57, over the weekend—that for someone who had ascended to the most visible heights of the art world (she had recently been named curator of the 2026 Venice Biennale), Kouoh moved with the soul of someone who never forgot why she started. She didn't chase legacy; she nurtured it. 'There are so many urgencies,' she said. 'You just have to do the work.' Kouoh and her community of creatives. From left: Imraan Christian (in ReThread), Ayotunde Ojo (in BAM Collective), Berni Searle (in an Imprint ZA dress and Pina Jewels earrings), Koyo Kouoh (in Imprint ZA), Kamehalo Blessing Rooi (in a BAM Collective top and MaXhosa shorts), Zizipho Poswa (in MaXhosa), Francesco Mbele (in ReThread), Igshaan Adams (in Viviers Studio and a Selfi lapel pin), Elise Wessels (in a ReThread dress, BAM Collective sleeves, and Pina Jewels jewelry), and Boemo Diale (in a BAM Collective dress, Pina Jewels earrings, and a MaXhosa pin). Photographed by Imraan Christian South Africa and the artists working within it became one of the mirrors Kouoh helped to polish. Through Zeitz MOCAA, she nurtured not just an institution but an atmosphere, one that let artists go inward and create not merely for spectacle, but for truth. Kouoh felt that physically having the room to make art was effectively as vital as the creation itself. 'The artistic space,' she said, 'is a space of freedom, of the imaginary. It gives you room to breathe, reflect, and project.'

K Naomi and more stars bring 'quiet luxury' to SAFW opening party
Lights, camera, fashion! South African Fashion Week (SAFW) is officially on the way. The road to all the glitz, glamour and impeccable fashion collections from some of Mzansi's top fashion designers kicked off with the opening party on the evening of 22 April 2025 in Hyde Park, Johannesburg. Some stars and influencers flocked to the latest SAFW venue to ring in the upcoming spring/summer 2025 showcase, adorning designer outfits representing their interpretation of the theme 'Quiet Luxury'. While this year's opening party was a tame turnout compared to previous years, guests spent most of the night taking their red-carpet photos and dancing the night away to the sounds of DJ and media personality Lamiez Holworthy-Morule. The opening party is the official green light to SAFW, with attendees gearing up to witness fresh and innovative designs from fashion houses like Gert-Johan Coetzee, Rubicon Clothing, Bam Collective and more from 24 to 26 April at The Forum in Hyde Park. It's that time of the year again for the @safashionweek opening party! Quiet luxury is set to come alive for the runway shows from 24 to 26 April 2025. #CruzSAFW #SAFashionWeek — TRUELOVE Magazine (@TrueLoveMag) April 22, 2025 SAFW is embodying quiet luxury this time around, and some of Mzansi's stars reveal what quiet luxury means to them: TV personality K Naomi: 'Quiet luxury means effortless, sexy, not loud but showing up to the party. It means expressing your true fashion style and expressing your confidence somewhat through clothes.' Actor and presenter Kayise Ngqula: 'It means bold without making too much of a noise. It means aesthetically pleasing. It means ease, comfort, ja, and sophistication.' Media personality and sneakerhead Kim Jayde: 'Always what comes to mind is Zendaya. She gives us money and class and elegance.'
