    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 celebrates the art of design in the first Collector's Design Issue.

    Whetting your appetite, Chew dishes up a smörgåsbord of iconic designers: The Clown, The Rock Star, The Show Stopper to name a few. What is the language of design? Photographer Melody Deas and stylist Alexia Kondylis explore the dynamic between structure and human form. Satiate yourself with a splash of design and get delightfully dirty with Marguerite Oelofse and Louw Kotze. Photographer Marco Baass and stylist Agnis Stone take us on a colourful journey of transformation: shape-shifting the human form into architectural phenomena.

    Tribute: Issue 03

    On the Menu

    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".

    Street: Issue 02

    On the Menu

    Keeping it real, Chew takes to the streets.

    Start with a forkful of futuristic urban thriller Moxyland by Lauren Beukes and listen to the accompanying soundtrack by African Dope. Seven photographers brave concrete jungles around the world to capture the essence of 'street' through the lens. Writer Alexandra Ross and photographer Timo Stammberger 'tag and bag' the people behind Berlin's innate street style. What to expect? Graffiti art, an interview with a Russian beauty and dodging the boys in blue – all in the name of art! Illustrator Chris Saunders turns his streets into a visual playground.
