Wear a larger, menswear-inspired blazer over shorts for a look that instantly lengthens your legs. Layered pendant

UTILITARIAN JUMPSUITS
Kicking off New York’s spring collections were a
slew of utilitarian jumpsuits. Merging the practical
with the fashionable, these pieces are perfect
for the girl on the go—slip one on, and you have
an instant outfit! Take a cue from designers like
Claudia Li or Kim Shui by snagging a style with
pockets, a sharp collar or both.
VIBRANT GREENS
One of 2021’s most predicted popular colours is
green, and the first Fashion Week of the season
kicked off with an explosion of it. Standouts like
Bibhu Mohapatra, Frederick Anderson, and Jason
Wu all incorporated the shade into their spring
collections, proving that it’s pretty easy being
green—especially in a slick silk suit, floaty dress or
airy short-sleeved top.
VOLUMINOUS SLEEVES
Designers from Christian Cowan to Nicole Miller
encouraged fashion fans to go for the bold this spring with
one major trend: over-the-top, puffy sleeves. This accent
was on everything from flowy dresses to leather blouses,
and a definite cause for adding some drama to your
springtime look. Whoever said bigger is better was onto
something.
LOUNGEWEAR SETS
In the city that never sleeps, fashion is a constant.
Reflective of the current WFH culture and the
importance of staying home, the US fashion
capital debuted a range of comfy loungewear
sets. Everyone from Cynthia Rowley to Hillary
Taymour at Collina Strada showed sets of matching
sweatpants and tops or hoodies, proving that
comfort is key for the months ahead.
RAD RUFFLES
Following the formal style of the UK, ruffles
sprouted everywhere during Fashion Week.
Whether they were on skirts at Bora Aksu or
dresses by Edeline Lee and Molly Goddard,
the confectionary trend maintained its place
as a fixture for fantastical fashion. Why not
slip on a frothy skirt or gown when you’re
feeling down?
PATCHWORK PRINTS
Colour-blocked and patchwork prints ran
rampant across collections this season.
Thornton Bregazzi’s Preen, Rixo and
Christopher Kane all used this play on
patterns and textures in their collections,
creating pieces that simultaneously made
statements and clashed in perfect harmony.
HIGH-NECK BLOUSES
Blouses are essential for any woman’s wardrobe, which London
designers latched onto for spring. Button-ups and tops with
higher necklines accented by collars and bows were particularly
popular, as proven by Roksanda, Simone Rocha and Victoria
Beckham. Whether it’s the ultimate purchase for Zoom meetings
or an easy transitional piece for regular wear, investing in one
this spring will serve you well for seasons to come.
SHEER APPEAL
Gauzy, romantic pieces were literally in
full swing at Milan Fashion Week this
spring. Armani showed see-through
gowns, while Sportmax and Emilio Pucci
layered sheer slips on top of tights and
shifts. Whether printed or embroidered, it
was literally clear to see that transparency
is trending right now.
EARTHY NEUTRALS
Neutrals took centre stage in Milan this season.
There were brown gowns at Valentino and desert-
worthy hues of tan and beige at Tod’s and Max Mara,
not to mention the numerous other brands where
they made an appearance. All-natural neutrals are
the direction fashion’s heading in this season—just
be sure to pair yours with pointed flats or strappy
sandals for a runway-worthy finish.
CROCHET
Perhaps one of the season’s more unusual trends,
crochet came out of the woodwork for the spring
2021 shows. There were open-knit sweaters at Alberta
Ferretti, chic crocheted dresses at Ferragamo and cozy
sets at Fendi. This vintage-inspired trend undoubtedly
came back to merge comfort with fashion, in case any
especially dramatic dressers wanted to wear something
soft without settling for sweats. Count us in!
ELEGANT YELLOW
Like clockwork, pastels bloomed on the
runways just in time for spring. In Paris, light
yellows were everywhere from Givenchy
to Altuzarra. Though the tone is always
appropriate this time of year, the best way
to wear it is through a shirtdress or any dress
style, according to leading brands this season.
GOLD HARDWARE
Gold was a mainstay for numerous brands
this Fashion Week. Balmain embellished its
bags with the metal, Schiaparelli showcased
chunky surrealist jewellery and Chloé
adorned its bags and accessories with the
staple hardware—and let’s not forget Paco
Rabanne’s multiple gold sequined looks,
including that viral full-face mask.
STRAIGHT-LACED
Lace is a hallmark of French fashion, as one
of the most romantic and delicate materials
around. Naturally, it made its mark through
heart-stopping dresses at Dior, statement
blouses at Rokh and sweet cardigan sets at
Chanel.

GREAT PLAINS OL DONYO LODGE
KEN YA
Guests at ol Donyo Lodge always ask what cocktail is recommended, and a camp favourite
is without a doubt The Donyo Dawa. The locally sourced honey compliments the freshly
squeezed lime—creating a bittersweet marriage over the vodka.
The Dawa is a well-known refreshing beverage in Kenya from the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro to
the depths of the Maasai Mara and interestingly means ‘medicine’ in Swahili. As the sun sets
behind the looming Kilimanjaro with a breeding herd of elephants ambling past slowly, this
refreshing and zesty drink is the perfect sundowner.
IN STRU CTION S
1: Cut half the lime into quarters and squeeze the other half
of lime into the glass.
2: Add the honey
3: Use the wooden stick (or spoon if you don’t have a Dawa
stick) and crush the mint and chopped lime and mix in with
the honey. This stick is often known as the magic stick as it
dissolves and crushes the flavours together.
4: Crush the ice cubes and place into the glass
5: Add the vodka
6: Mix all ingredients in the glass together well with the stick.
For those looking for a non-alcoholic option, Great Plains Selinda Camp Manager and mixology enthusiast Michael Jones
has shared his signature mocktail: The Tea & Tonic (T&T).
The T&T takes the flavour of tea, a little bit of lemon, a little bit of lemon juice and a great tonic, combines them into a
refreshing drink that wouldn’t be missed at an African Sundowner, afternoon tea, lunch or even first thing before a morning
game drive! This mocktail made with rooibos can be adapted to any tea and any good tonic. As this is a sugar syrup the
lemon juice and tonic water helps to break some of the sweetness, so add as much lemon juice as you like.

1: Combine brown sugar and water to a saucepan, boil
and ensure the sugar has dissolved. Add the tea bags
and slightly reduce.
2: Remove from the heat and allow to sit for an hour
or two; the longer it’s left the more concentrated the
flavour. This makes about half a cup of syrup.
3: Take 45ml of your rooibos syrup and add to a tumbler
(or, as in the photo, use a shallow jam jar). Add the lemon
juice, top off with ice and pour the tonic over the ice.
4: Garnish with a slice of lemon peel and stir to combine.

and modern fits. Each bikini is designed to easily mix and match for
one-of-a-kind styles. The collection has grown to include swimwear,
ready-to-wear beach cover-ups, clothing for the traveller and the dreamer,
and mikoh x surf, a line of surf-ready pieces in smartly cut neoprene.
Mikoh is a vision of swimwear for the certain woman who knows who she
is—if not where she’s going next.
Oleema and Kalani were raised in a family of surfers, designers and lovers
of the sea. Both were encouraged to explore creativity and self-expression
—Oleema through her passion for all things fashion, Kalani with a
paintbrush in hand. Creative expression was the spirit of the household
and the water was a second home. As teens, the sisters surfed and
modelled, travelled, lived swimsuit to swimsuit. Kalani’s path led to
university while Oleema took to the road. Mikoh brought them together
in creativity, inspired by the things they’d seen and learned on their
journey—newfound friends, foreign beaches, distant cultures.
The Mikoh brand was born of this lifestyle: swimwear for the
confident modern woman, unique and wearable at home and
abroad. Its name derives from the girls’ last name, Miller, as well
as the first initial of Kalani and Oleema and their younger sister’s
name, Hana. In Japanese, Miko is a term that once meant “female
shaman” or “female prophecy.”
A new travel trend has arrived on our
shores, and it’s about to give your
holiday album a serious upgrade.
It’s finally time to put down the selfie
stick and kiss goodbye to unflattering
angles, as new platform Shoot My
Travel allows holidaymakers to hire
a professional photographer for
just a few hours when abroad, with
their brief being to guide customers
around their chosen destination and
capture them at their candid best.
