Summer in South Africa – Sutra Magazine Shows Us How!

South Africa has fallen in love with Indian inspired couture this summer; from linen tunics, draped pants, and saris customized in fabrics like silk, chiffon, muslin, and linen SUTRAâ¢ MAGAZINE.

“Garments from designers such as Ritu Kumar, Ritu Beri, Rina Dhaka, Muzaffar Ali, Satya Paul, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani, and Manish Malhotra are some of the well known fashion designers in India whose collections are wowed in South Africa.”, says SUTRAâ¢.

According to the SUTRAâ¢ team, “Indian fashion envelops a wide assortment of garments from elaborate ensembles designed for highly sophisticated events to, informal wear. Traditional Indian embroidery and authentic Indian fabrics are used by designers in conjunction with wooden beads and African weaves and to create Indo-African clothing in a fusion that comes together strikingly”.

Scarves (dupatta) are all the rage this summer; as a fashion garment it is an attractive accessory that looks stylish and breaks the dullness of everyday clothing.

Outfits can be dressed up or down when worn with a heavily embellished dupatta decorated with sequins or a cool cotton scarf with a beaded border to add colour and dimension. Altering the manner in which it is worn can give your outfit a makeover for the better.

This season fashion designers are making use of African prints coupled with Indian bauble and spangle that creates and further enhances the contrasting themes that merge so fittingly. Kurthis and tunics laden in beading, in colours like indigo, brick red, grey black and mustard yellows are produced from raw silk by new age designers.

SUTRAâs editorial team believes that, “summer of 2007 / 2008 in S.A screams, less is more that is, when it come to make up! Shimmers and glosses are in; while heavy make up flies out the window. For those who like subtlety, a matte finish will do best. For an evening out on the town, the rouge, and lips should be toned down to complement darker shades on the eyelids and heavily lined eyes that finish the Indian traditional look.”

SUTRAâs Fashion Editor says, “Eye-catching accessories like stunning crystals and weighty dark wood and amber neck pieces create the perfect Indo-African fusion to such an extent that there is little noticeable distinction. Dress your hair down for a more relaxed look; while stylish up dos are substituted by big buns!”

How would you start off a magazine article about Autumns fashion?

I’m having to write an article for a magazine for a school project. I’ve got all the ground work done for what needs to be in the article, like whats hot right now, etc and i’ve got photo’s but i just don’t know how to start it. I need to set a tone and pull people in.
Anyone got any tips or advice? Any work you write here will not be used, i promise, but if needed will be used a guide to take inspriation and ideas from.

Thanks

Sutra Magazine Attends the Regina Belle Concert in Cape Town

SUTRA MAGAZINE attended the soul diva, Regina Belleâs concert on 28 November 2007 at the Grand West Casino in Cape Town, South Africa.

And what a spectacular performance it was!

Accompanied by Phil Perry and Glen Jones, Regina Belle put up one of the most memorable performances that Cape Town, South Africa has ever seen! With many R&B ballads under her belt, this Grammy Award winner left many fans breathless with her smooth soulful sultry sounds! Regina Belle surfaced as a creative, charming soloist on the urban contemporary scene.

Born in New Jersey, Reginaâs music career began in gospel, although she was also fascinated by R&B during her youth. Belle performed in a New Jersey vocal band, and her tertiary education encompassed opera and jazz.

Regina captivated the audience with accounts of past experiences and songs that had great significance in her life, the sentiment and passion she feels toward music and her fans were clearly illuminated.

“People will see that I love God, that I love my family and that I absolutely love music.” Regina Belle

By the words of Phil Perry, former band member of Earth Wind & Fire, “the concert and genre of music is old school mixed with the new, if there was no old school, there would be no new school, and itâs all about the Blues…!”

The concert was a breathtaking, set of much-loved R&B staples, swinging jazz standards, moody torch songs and old school classics all conveyed in Belleâs intense choice of words and the lingering fire in her voice.

Sutra Magazine on Bridal Hair and Beauty

Women, even in this day and age dream of that perfect fairytale wedding. Whether she is exquisitely dressed in white or elegantly draped in red, a key factor that makes her day is her hair and makeup.

In each edition, SUTRA Magazine takes you on a journey surrounding various elements of bridal beauty and hair. SUTRA showcases professional make up artists and hairstylists; while also providing us with tricks of the trade for our own personal touch ups.

“The elaborate flower-infused hair piece of South Indian tradition has undergone a style revamp through the use of elaborate beading interwoven in the existing hair piece.

For the North Indian hair style, hair accessories encrusted with diamonds, pearl headgear and silver hairpins are fast becoming in vogue.

The overly made-up look of yester-year is a no-no, and bronzed glitter and shimmer is all the rage. For tradition lovers, matte finishes are still used while the colours used are fresh and contemporary. Heavily kohl lined eyes with long eyelids painted with heavy mascara is the much-needed traditional touch.”

-SUTRA™ MAGAZINE

SUTRA gives us extensive information on wedding dresses and saris, venues, hair and make up, bridal jewellery, bridal accessories groom suits, skin care, and the perfect honeymoon destinations.

SUTRA is the ultimate wedding guide for your big day!
