A LOOK AT ARTELIER. A/W’26 — “TACTICAL TERRAIN

10and5 — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 13:12:14 +0000

Mid-winter in Mzansi demands gear that actually moves with you. ARTELIER’s latest drop is built for exactly that.

Norwood is an AI-generated “actress” who has become a symbol of AI’s growing role […]

Barrel Jeans Decoded

10and5 — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 12:28:36 +0000

Once considered a passing trend, the sculptural silhouette has become a modern wardrobe essential. Catherine van Rees explains why. Barrel jeans may have arrived as a trend, but they’ve earned their place as a modern denim silhouette. More structured than a boyfriend jean and yet softer than balloon fit, barrel jeans strike the perfect balance – curved through the leg, tapered at the ankle, and designed to create a sculptural yet effortless silhouette. While the name “barrel fit” may feel […]

10and5 — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 13:54:08 +0000

Lelowhatsgood’s new EP Rebirth Is Necessary pushes gqom into new sonic and linguistic territory across five tracks of experimental South African club music. Gqom came out of Durban’s townships in the early 2010s, built by young Black men and shaped by everything the genre’s name suggests: dark, confrontational, percussive. Lelowhatsgood, real name Ntsikelelo Meslani, is not breaking with that history on Rebirth Is Necessary. He’s stretching it. Out now, the five-track project pulls gqom into conversation with is’qinsi, Afro tech, 3-step and […]
