Africa's Frist Digital/ Online Men's Fashion Magazine - Renaissance

I seem to think January is a humour-filled month. It’s a month that so many of us try to attack with ambition and hope for a fantastic year ahead. We are always set out to start afresh as if the previous years now no longer count towards who we are and what we have done. Anyway having gotten that out my chest, I really wanted to applaud a menswear blogger from Jhb Monde Mtsi who took a huge step doing what most of us only still dream to do.

Starting a magazine (weather online or hard copy) is nothing to rush or do nonchalantly but something I consider worth saying well done to.

Here Is the editor Monde Mtsi introducing his idea to the readers...

" Quite frankly, last year taught us some incredibly valuable lessons. Some of those lessons were a lot more painful to accept than others, and a few put amazing smiles on our faces. One thing was clear though, less clutter, much more simplicity and understanding why we do the work we do were the most important lessons we could have learned last year.

So, here we are. Doing our best to walk the talk in our best leather loafers. First up on our agenda, is today’s launch of our very own digizine. It’s quite small, and currently filled with our highlights from the previous year, with one or two brand new pieces of content.

It’s not something we rushed or did nonchalantly. It’s been in the pipeline since the blog’s inception. In fact, the blog exists because the dream of a digital magazine existed before it and we needed to find a way of testing the waters and whether we were really ready for this.

We’re still not ready – however – if you don’t do something about what you love and wish, it won’t ever materialize. This digizine is a work in progress. How frequent it will turn out to be, we’re not sure. We do know, though, we’d like to put out an autumn/winter edition. So who knows, maybe something great will pop onto your screens around April or May this 2014. "
