Presage also announces that Viktor & Rolf, designers of the ready-to-wear worn by Cheyenne Keuben in this Philip Riches editorial will halt its ready-to-wear collections following the A/W 15 season, to focus on haute-couture and licensed businesses.

The decision was made in collaboration with the OTB Group, the holding company of Italian industrialist Renzo Rosso, founder of Diesel, and majority shareholder of Maison Margiela.

‘We feel a strong need to refocus on our artistic roots. We have always used fashion to communicate, it is our primary means of artistic expression,’ Viktor Horsting explains that the fast pace, deadlines and fierce competition in ready-to-wear – ‘started to feel creatively restricting. By letting go of it, we gain more time and freedom.’

‘We are extremely excited to push the boundaries of our vision in new, unexpected territories,”’ Rolf Snoeren added.

Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge In Botswana’s Okavango Delta Is A Jewel Of Sustainability & Femininity

It’s been six years since AOCwrote about Botswana’s lush Okavango Delta. What a pleasure to see these female-centric, goddess-inspired images of Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge, designed by Michaelis Boyd and Nick Plewman, and set adjacent to the wildlife-rich Moremi Game Reserve.

Not only does the building blend in with the local landscape, but its 12 inner suites take on the appearance of weaverbird nests. Indeed the structures are cathedral-like, all designed to inspire and honor our inner nature goddess — for women and men alike.

Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge in part of the & Beyond community. a group of luxury ‘boutique’ safari lodges designed to be in complete harmony with the latest goals of sustainability hotel communities.

In a long list of accomplishments, Botswana has much to celebrate. Thanks to years of political stability and a farsighted conservation policy by the government, Botswana’s ecosystem is stable. More than a third of the country is protected in a luxury tourism model. Higher prices guarantee less wear and tear on the environment. The practice is elitist but working.
