Edition June 2025

While it is ideal for consumers in South Africa and many parts of the world to spend less money in the currently challenging economic times, Thula Sindi, Director and Chief Curator of AfricaRise, advises shoppers to invest in timeless pieces with a modern twist this winter. 

“I feel [like] customers want future classics. That is why I focused on a classic tweed suit but in a cropped cheeky style and a black dress that is perfect for many occasions but still makes an impression with the dramatic sleeve detail,” he told Public Sector Manager in a brief interview. 

Sindi recommends the following two key looks for winter 2025: 

• Thula Sindi Tweed suit Jacket: R4 999 Skirt: R3 999
• Thula Sindi Black neoprene dress: R6 999

Both classics are available at AfricaRise store: Shop U63, Sandton City, Johannesburg and online at www.ThulaSindi.com.
