SuzaanHeyns:

Suzaan Heyns stands out as a uniquevoice in the South African fashionindustry today. Her beautifully tailored

garments push the boundaries of what is

being created by her peers by bringing the

avant-garde into the mainstream.

Heyns has showcased her designs atthe Cape Town and Johannesburg

Fashion Weeks with great acclaim. She

won the Arise Africa Award for the most

creative range at the Anglo Gold Ashanti

Auditions and received international

recognition for her origami-inspired Spring/

Summer 2009 collection.

Heyns design approach clearly reects an

awareness of the body, apparent in her attering

and versatile garments. This could stem from the

fact that she originally wanted to become a sculptor,

a profession where form and a focused eye on

construction is a must. In many ways her garments

are artworks, meticulously designed and constructed

to be treasured for years to come.

Her latest collection, Die Vorm, is an extension of her interest in the human body.

Inspired by the physical and symbolic connotations derived from the mechanics of the

body, each garment resembles anatomical structures. The internal physical body is

translated into sartorial showpieces that unveil and explore our hidden psyche.

We were privileged to showcase her campaign for Die Vorm, shot by talented

local photographerBrett Rubin.

Sub|Urban

It always makes us sad when a projectdoesnt work out. Amazing work is cannedand never gets to see the light of day. Its ashame really. Even though our collaborationwith lm production company Sub UrbanFilms didnt work out, it is a project that wefelt was too good not to share.

Sub Urban Films approached Nicework to rebrand theircompany and to encapsulate their core qualities throughour creative treatment. Five brand icons were created tocommunicate these abstract qualities in a simple, yet

visually accessible way:

1. The Camera

The camera is the most recognisablerepresentation of lm that cut to the core of whatSub Urban Films was about. The camera is also the

device that brings cinematic creativity to life.

2. The Eye

The eye and camera are mirror images of twosimilar ideas: the eye as an organic camera and thecamera as a mechanical eye. The image of the eye

also connotes vision, clarity and experience.

3. The Brain

The brain is the place where creativity andknowledge meet, a connection that is implicit in

the process of lmmaking.

4. The Heart

The heart referred to Sub Urban Films positioningstatement Love at rst sight. It also reected the

passion that Sub Urban Films put into each project.

5. The Octopus

The octopus is a simple yet highly evolvedcreature that is able to conduct a multitude oftasks in a seemingly frantic yet focused manner.It embodied the collaborative qualities that Sub

Urban Films offered.

These ve brand icons werebrought together in the companysnew logo inspired by the shapeof a mandala. This logo mandalareected the holistic approach ofthe company.

To launch the brand, Nicework conceived anexhibition that employed the talents of ve locallustrators: Louis Minnaar, Shaun Botes , Theoryne, Wesley van Eeden and Christian Mugnai. Eachlustrator was given the task to create an artwork

nspired by one of the ve Sub Urban Films brand icons.he results way surpassed our expectations.

Despite the project not happening, we can still thankub Urban Films for giving us a project that producedome really exceptional work and an opportunity to

work with some of South Africas best illustrators.

Terence Kitching from At

Pace Design and Communication

knocked it out of the park with this

packaging design for The Bees Knees honey.

The box is designed to resemble a beehive box,

featuring embossed ridges to reflect planks of

wood and a die-cut slit to denote its entrance. The

gold foil Klein Constantia crest on the front of

the box refers to the origin of the honey, as well

as giving the packaging a level of class. When

the box is opened a golden coloured interior is

revealed complete with individually die-cut

bees, detailed with gold foil. We think this

sophisticated packaging treatment is

well worth showcasing.

attoo:

The tattoo world has experienced a massive surgein interest and growth over the last few decades.Growing popularity amongst celebrities and the

emergence of TV shows such as L.A. Ink has

dragged the subculture into the mainstream.

The earliest evidence of the practice dates back to the

Neolithic Age. Otzi the Iceman was discovered in an

Alpine valley and had approximately 50 bodily markings

thought to be for therapeutic purposes. The word tattoo, a

word for loan in English, was first recorded in the

18th Century and stems from the Polynesian tatau.

It was introduced to the West by sailors and gradually

changed in expression to fit with English phonology.

Nicework approached a few ar tists in Jozi

to discuss their views on the burgeoning

growth of the body art business.

Marisa, the owner of Tattoolya in Weltevreden Park,

made up her mind to become a tattoo artist at the early

age of fourteen. She completed an apprenticeship underRoyston Chapman at Quite Bizarre and started working

as soon as she left school in 1999. Time spent overseas

working for Jacks Tattoos in London helped her refine

her distinctive black and grey style.

She feels that though the industry benefits from recent

growth, rampant expansion can also dilute the art

form. Annual tattoo conventions are mainly attended

by industry insiders and dont do much to grow the art

or its acceptance by the general public. However, there

are artists who attempt to change public perception

by associating with charities and hosting regular

fundraising auctions of work designed by tattoo artists.

The Golden Tiki in Linden is a novel breakaway from

the standard tattoo parlour concept by combining a

traditional tattoo parlour with a coffee lounge.

This creates a less intimidating social space for the

body art community and the general public to interact.

We spoke to Ryan (aka. Busta), a resident artist who

has been tattooing for about five years.

Busta has a more optimistic view of the role of tattoo

conventions and the media in tattoo culture and

believes that they have played a big role in creating

more favourable associations within the general

public. The biggest stigma stems from associations

with crime and gangs. The Golden Tiki actively promote

an opposing viewpoint. The move away from traditionalbad-ass stereotypes increases co-operation between

parlours, which allows artists to specialise and helps

to regulate the industry.

Both Marisa and Busta agree that in an unregulated

industry peer opinion and word of mouth play a huge role

in establishing credibility and reputation. It also maintains

vital hygiene standards in a n industry th at is not covered

by legislation or a regulatory body. Developing a bad

hygiene reputation could mean the death of your business

and all the parlours we visited put proper hygiene protocols

at the very top of their agenda.

The tattoo business is rapidly evolving with everyone

from accountants to rock stars getting work done.

It remains a contentious issue for some but due to

the efforts of nice people like Marisa and the folks at

the Golden Tiki, public opinion is steadily changing for

the better.

chop done or just have a really good cappuccino you

Luke and I met 5 years ago in his nal year of University. We have been boyfriendand girlfriend, travel buddies, business partners, and now recently engaged.

02. Cookbooks

Forget shoes; give me books lled with pages of inspirational recipes andstunning food photography. I love paging through my books, and it is easy toknow which recipes are my favourite. The pages are most likely stuck togetherby a variety of ingredients.

03. Baking

It was when I was 10 years old that I decided I would be a baker. Of course as Igot older my mind drifted from photographic journalist to viticulturist, but Ishould have known baking would always nd its way into my life. Even when Ispent a year working as a PA in a British ofce I would bring in mufns or someform of baked goodies for my colleagues. They almost demanded it.

04. Nook Eatery

Our cozy little Nook, where the smell of homemade croissant pastries and freshlyground coffee lls the air every morning.

05. Vintage

Our little shop is positioned next to the historic Skuinshuis in RyneveldStreet. Until recently this was the home to Nest, my favourite bric and bracshop. They have moved to Dorp Street now, but luckily just around the cornerfrom where I live! A beautiful collection of antiques and quirky decor items, it isthe perfect place if you are in need of a unique gift, for a friend or yourself.

06. Boiled Egg and Soldiers

Nothing beats a perfectly cooked egg.

07. Farms

Mainly the Karoo, both Little and Great. My earliest memories of familyholidays was escaping the rain and heading for the desert. Crisp dry days andstarry starry nights. Farm style cooking makes my heart skip a beat.Slow roasted joints of meat with veggies. Buttermilk rusks.Homemade bread with real farm butter *ooomph*.

08. Childhood Nostalgia

Zoo biscuits and everything about growing up in the 80s and 90s.

09. Ice Cream

My lifelong favourite is Mint Choc Chip. Making your own is fun too.

10. Gardens

I live in a at on the ground oor, which is nice. We have a court yard coveredwith vine leaves, which is also nice. But I want a garden. And by garden Imean Frances Hodgson Burnes Secret Garden. The gardens of Versailles.The kind of garden that would inspire Claude Monet. That would be nice.
