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.

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.
If you would like to investigate this further, get your
chop done or just have a really good cappuccino you

Pattern Diary is the result of a year-longinvestigation into identity, patterns, still livesand compositions, explored in red and blue.
Each pattern represents
an abstract diary entry o
my 2010. The collection
works as a whole, and
each piece can be sold
individually. In a room,
whether the pieces are
placed together as a
still-lie or dispersed, the
bold graphic patterns
creates a graphic and
visual language that
flls the space.

01. My Guy
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.
