JOZI JUST GOT CROC’D: The party of the century

By Zee: If you weren’t on the Crocs guestlist tonight at Sandton City, honey… sit down. You missed everything. And by everything, I mean a full-blown, shoe-filled fantasy land that had us all questioning our life choices up until that very moment.

By Sitha Maliwa: Christian Dior bag (Image: supplied) Loud luxury is turning up the volume globally with its unapologetic logos, electric colours, and eye-catching designs, and the buzz shows no signs of quieting down. By the end of 2024, brands like Gucci, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana saw a 40% to 60% surge in popularity as the world leaned into high-visibility fashion once again.
