MYZONE is this nifty chest strap system that provides heart rate and caloric tracking in real time. Like you can be doing plié dips (this may not…

Our designer today, RUALD RHEEDER, I love. I can say that without a fear of being blacklisted as he was the only menswear to showcase this season at Hub of Africa, Addis. His designs are easy to understand, translatable to markets, and very much so his own. A South African native, he’s won “Best New Designer” and “The most…
