    Africa Issue #15

    Chew, in collaboration with PUMA, hosted Creative Unity in the Kehinde Wiley Cape Town exhibition space on 2 July 2010. Collaborating with various creatives and past contributors of Chew magazine, Chew put on a creative extravaganza.

    Contributing photographer Jimi Rae has recently returned from Nairobi, Kenya where he was documenting work done by the Sumerian Foundation. The most successful project is the fashion label Johari...

    To celebrate the Soccer World Cup and PUMA's long-standing partnership with African football (the company sponsors 12 African teams, four of which have qualified for the World Cup), PUMA has partnered with Kehinde Wiley and commissioned him to create four original works of art inspired by three of football's most decorated players.

    Japanese brothers Satoru and Kiyoshi Inoue collaborated with personal friends Gazelle and Créol Brothers for the summer 2010 collection; the spirit of "ubuntu" is the creative thread that brought them together.

    Born in Nigeria, Toyin Odutola moved to the US with her family when she was five. Her first love is drawing, but she also does printmaking, video art, costume and sculpture. I want to meet her

    Play Teaser #14

    Chew's contributing fiction editor Lauren Beukes recently launched her latest novel Zoo City, which is set in a wildly re-imagined Johannesburg. The book is a "muti noir" about refugees, crime, the music industry, magic, ghosts of our past and the struggle for redemption. Lauren has been described by William Gibson, New York Times best-selling author, as "very, *very* good... it feels effortless, utterly accomplished". Respect. We celebrated with Lauren at the launch with customised Bares, black zoo biscuits (yum!) and lots of marabou storks.

    We unmask the Zoo City Bares and meet the designers behind these innovative creations. Among them past Chew contributors Clement de Bruin and Bia van Deventer and Carine Nguz, Willeen le Roux, Joey Hi-Fi and Elise Wessels.

    Rachelle Crous spoke to The Plastics, who are undoubtedly leaders of the creative class when it comes to their fresh, original sound. They chose Gordon Raphael (best known for his work with The Strokes) as the producer of their first full-length album Shark, taking creativity in the SA music industry to the next level.

    'My new tutu is lighter and more accurate at mapping my movements, based on cutting-edge motion-capture technology. Heel-toe, Heel-toe and dip. Four men die without knowing they've been spotted'. South African writer Charlie Human plays around with words as he gets inspired by photographer Sivan Miller's shoot in this issue's fiction story Dance Dance Revolution.

    We chew the phat with Daniel Beck, Steve Kimmel, Aaron Jaffe and Adam Klass. They are nogapsbetween and this year's Launch Your Band competition winners.

    Creative Junkies Issue #13

    In this issue of Chew, we celebrate those who sit until the wee hours of the night perfecting an illustration, those who consume copious amounts of coffee to bring life into an animation and those who can't sit without a doughnut pillow anymore. We celebrate those courageous individuals who push the boundary of innovation and creativity, who have vision and who never back down. Take Peter Lundgren for example, the man behind T-post, the world's first wearable magazine.

    Read talented writer Sarah Lotz's wonderfully dark short fiction story Joan, inspired by Columbian fashion photographer Castel Diaz's work of art.

    Illustrator Bia van Deventer describes her exclusive illustrations for Chew: "The design is based on the love and addiction one has towards expressing oneself creatively, therefore a lot of coffee, loud music and late nights in front of your computer."

    "You know who you are, the love child of David Bowie and Frida Kahlo with a half teaspoon dash of jungle rock 'n' roll and a pinch of '!*ck off". Superstar Kudakwashe Maradzika never fails to entertain with her 'Chewing On' features. In this issue she pays tribute to the Creative Junkie.

    It's taken blood, sweat and tears to bring your brainchild into the world, now make sure it's got the protection it deserves. Robyn Hey from Robyn Hey & Associates addresses your copyright concerns.

    *Special Bonus Don't miss out on Kronk's 'How to Customise Toys' 40-minute jam-packed video workshop. This two-part video gives you tips on how to get started, what NOT to do and why you should give your toy a bath. Shot at the first Toffie Pop Culture Festival, find out why you can't afford to miss out on it next year!

    The Yellow Issue #12

    Yellow New York cab. Scrambled eggs. Mellow yellow. Pantone Process Yellow C mug. Sun. We love Yellow!

    Read our new contributing fiction editor Lauren Beukes' first short story in Chew. The piece, Confirm/Ignore, is inspired by photographer Renata Paskal's submission, particularly an image with the Tee slogan: 'Be Yourself, Everybody Else Is Taken'. We know you will love this story, which is why each issue of Chew will feature a fictional short story by one of South Africa's most talented wordsmiths and inspired by a creative submission.

    Multi-disciplinary French artist Xavier Veilhan is the mastermind behind a gigantic yellow sculptural masterpiece called Sophie. Dressed in her yellow trench coat and heels, she proudly spans two levels of the Germain Restaurant.

    Natalie Nicklin was born in the year of The Force and brought up in an age of electronic escapism intent on archiving its every action. Her work attempts to reconcile a forgotten future with its recent past via an imperfect present. She also contributed one of our three stunning covers for this issue.

    "How do you mask the insignificant and the banal in life? Through the beer goggles of social networking, of course". Kudakwashe Maradzika chews on whether Facebook or Twitter is the new yellow.

    The RED (hot!) Issue #09

    Sweet temptations ...

    Earlier this year, the second edition of Fashion Against AIDS, saw a host of T-shirts, bodysuits and dresses being created by a long list of celebs with slogans such as "Use your brain", "Protection is power" and "Girls just wanna have safe sex" writes Rachel Arthur in Chew's 'We Love Column'. I'll admit, I was an RTD virgin. This year, however, I put aside my camping issues and dived head-first into a sea of party people. Watch Chew's clip and let us take you back to the good times were we 'played hard and tread lightly'. "Do you think South Africans are socially conscious enough?" Jacqueline Staden wandered the streets of Jozi to find out what the people had to say.

    Fantasy Issue #08

    With the pressures and stresses of living in the Noughties, who doesn't need a little escape now and then? Chew invites you to enter a fantasy world filled with magical creatures, otherworldly images and fantastical ideas.

    Fantasy or Fetish? "Perhaps it is more apparent in this culture of penny-pinching, tightening our belts and generally bemoaning the bankers who brought about our having to exchange a shopping splurge for re-familiarising ourselves with our existing wardrobes, that a foray into the fantastical becomes a frequent occurrence," suggests Alexandra Ross. Twilight zone Chew fashion columnist Rachel Arthur bites into the latest fashion craze, inspired by Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and Jacob Black. Confused? Designers like Gucci and Prada take their queue from these fictional Twilight characters. Listen up Rachel Crous chats with Cutout Collective, a band that's reinventing the musical landscape of electronic and alternative projects, no jokes. “We love that music is in a period of fusion of styles and genres, but even more than that, we love that it's an indication that our generation is open-minded, forward thinking and ready to explore uncharted territories" ... We say OUR ears are ready. Presenting ... for one night only! SA photographer Helena Grier Rautenbach puts on a spectacular, fantastical carnival for one night only. We'll even throw in a 'behind the scenes' video clip. Flying sheep and jumping cows Thanks to Illustrator Jackie Scala, Chew's fantasy world comes alive with mesmerising creatures crawling up and down our virtual pages, so pay attention – you might just miss them if you're too quick with your mouse clicks ...

    Futuristic (1st Birthday) Issue #07

    Celebrate with Chew!

    Amid the heated debates on everything eco, the design industry is warming up to the idea that the greenest thing we can do is reuse, reduce and recycle writes Frankie Chevalier. "Spandex silver jumpsuits anyone?" Chew fashion columnist Rachel Arthur beams us into the latest scene of fashion fixation: the space-age trend that's wearable (without being considered a die-hard Trekkie). Travis Lyle searches for Die Antwoord: Ahead of the curve or off his rocker? Waddy Jones has consistently confounded predictions with each new twist in his creative journey, and has just set off on a brand new tangent &elipsis; Swedish photographer Philipp Jeker shoots futuristic clothing with a twist: reusing seemingly ordinary items to make a startling fashion statement. Whoever thought cleaning gloves could be so cool? Stylist Zeynep Tarhan pays tribute to heroines of the past - in the future - in a memorable, fashion-forward shoot.

    Energy Issue #06

    Get High on the Energy Issue!

    As heat builds up to 2010, writer Paul McNally adds fuel to the fire by asking whether, when it comes to soccer, you're game for love or money. How far would you go to scalp the seat of a lifetime? "Hold onto your scanties!" Chew fashion columnist Rachel Arthur sidesteps sweaty trainers and tight running pants and goes straight in for the tackle, talking about haute sport couture. Illustrator Sandra Suy sets free her creative energy with vibrant lashings of stunning strokes in a carnival of juicy colours. Beam Me Up! Photographer Helena Grier Rautenbach (literally) shoots dirty disco rock 'n roll band The Beams in a high-octane shoot so electric it's set to short-circuit. Chewing on the issue of whether energy can be captured, photographer Natasja Fourie answers her own question with a super-hot fashion spread pulsing with creative currents.

    Chew contributors take a trip down nostalgic memory lane and pay homage to their icons.

    All we really need is love and blue suede shoes, discovers Natasja Fourie, Brett Rubin and Carry Watson. "So how do I get chow and dops?" Travis Lyle, a dedicated joller from Durban, questions in his tribute to this year's AfrikaBurn. Bridget Neo Khumalo plans a fashionably un-cool revolution by honouring "one brand that has defied and stomped its way into the annals of fashion history-cool". Writer Carmen Pool pays tribute to her matjies and witnesses that "Waiting for a drink at the bar is like watching D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation – agonizing".

Talented South African photographer Bevan Davis fully satisfies in our Get Full section with his shoot I'll Find You. His shots also create stunning section openers and Chew's first cover(s)! British photographer Jon Cottam and Swedish stylist Ulrika Knutsdotter collectively inspire and add flair to the everyday closet. Shot on location in the Mother City, Cape Town. South African photographer Theo Klompje and stylist Alexia Kondylis dish up a fresh perspective on dreams in The Night is Still. Leave room for dessert! The sweet scoop on beats, books, film, entertainment and cool things you need to know.
