As symbolic of the Mid-Autumn Festival as the legend of Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit, mooncakes have a history dating back centuries, with their first mention during the Song dynasty (960-1279) in author Wu Zimu’s Dreaming of Grain. Early mooncakes were a far cry from the creative and intricate designs we see today. The rudimentary cakes were flat and round, with a thin outer crust and fillings such as lotus seed paste or the auspicious five kernels. During the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368),...
If it’s September, it’s Heritage Month in South Africa. A time when the traditions, stories and values that shape our shared identity fall under the spotlight. And for many, few things say heritage quite like food. It sits at the heart of any celebration, bringing us together around the dishes we cook, share and pass on. So, what does South African heritage taste like? Ask ten people, and you may get ten different answers. Pap and morogo. A Durban curry. Potjiekos. Bobotie. Vetkoek. Koeksisters. Perhaps the unmistakable smell and taste of a braai.
The Hemingways Collection in East Africa has just completed a comprehensive, heritage-focused interior refresh of River Camp Mara. Originally built by Richard Roberts, a third-generation conservationist, and his wife Liz, the camp was founded on a deep respect for nature, privacy, and personalized service, located within the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya, which forms a part of the Serengeti ecosystem. Anchoring Hemingways’s renewed commitment to low-impact conservation and authentic local design, Hemingways has significantly reinforced its operational environmental footprint at the eight-tent camp.

When Kevin Cureau first spoke to his oncologist about the mass behind his knee, he was not stressed out. “It was more, ‘Oh, this is just something I have to get through.’ I wasn’t scared or anything,” says Cureau, 37, a French-Chinese cancer survivor born and living in Hong Kong who was diagnosed with stage-three liposarcoma in late 2025. Cureau took the news so calmly that even his doctor was a little surprised. But he admits that, at the time, he did not fully understand what liposarcoma was....

If there’s a garment that has come to define Prada – both the brand and the personal style of designer Miuccia Prada – it has to be the skirt. Back in 2005, the brand held a blockbuster exhibition at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai. Named “Waist Down”, the show was a celebration of the skirt, a closet staple that was also the centrepiece of the label’s spring/summer 2027 collection, unveiled on Tuesday at Milan Fashion Week. In the show notes, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, who co-design Prada,...

“The Japanese are thrilled by the growing appreciation for manga around the world – that it’s now read from Saudi Arabia to France to the US – and all at the same time,” enthuses Nicole Rousmaniere, founder of the UK’s Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures at the University of East Anglia. “Manga is becoming a universal language.” Certainly the distinctive imagery of the Japanese graphic novel tradition is increasingly finding its way from page to museum wall....
