If you love African fashion as much as we do, then you’ll love our features on South African brand Lukhanyo Mdingi and Ghana’s very own Chiip O Neal, whose latest collections are a sight to behold. Mary Martin London also takes centre stage in a breathtaking editorial that merges influences from Marie Antoinette with traditional West African dressing.
Influencers are front and centre in this edition, from British-Tanzanian sister duo Grandy and Gratsi Katega who rule the blogosphere in style, to South African influencers Nabilah Kariem, Trevor Stuurman and Kefilwe Mabote, who teamed up with Glam Africa and Netflix SA to mark the release of Netflix’s original drama series Ratched, recreating some of the series’ iconic looks with their own unique twists.
For Glam Africa’s coveted lifestyle cover, Cathy Martin returns to the pages of Glam Africa for an awe-inspiring tell-all about how she overcame the trauma of her childhood in Zimbabwe. Following a lifelong struggle with dyslexia, Cathy found the strength within herself to turn her life around, and she’s never looked back since.
As always, there’s lots to see in the beauty department, from Zerah Monet’s melanin-infused celebration of brown skin, to all the latest skincare and cosmetic discoveries you should know about. And it doesn’t end there. All in all, this edition is one you certainly won’t want to miss, so be sure to grab your copies as they hit newsstands this week.
