MOFFIE: Powerful Gay Military Drama Masterpiece gets online release

Ever since it premiered at the Venice International Film Festival last year, Moffie has been high on the must-watch lists for 2020.

Oliver Hermanus' powerful gay military drama about a young conscript dealing with the brutal hardships of army life as he grapples with his repressed sexuality has been billed as a thorough and vital dissection of masculinity.

Moffie - named after the South African slang tern for an effeminate man - was originally set for a traditional cinema release before the coronavirus pandemic hit, but the film has thankfully found a way to viewers after being released exclusively on Curzon Home Cinema today (24 April).

Rising star Kai Luke Brummer plays Nicholas Van der Swart, the aforementioned teen conscript who must learn to survive in a psychologically toxic envirvonment as he deals with his growing feelings for a fellow recruit.

Based on an autobiographical novel by South African writer André Carl van der Merwe, Moffie is set in 1981 as South Africa’s white minority government is embroiled in a conflict on the southern Angolan border.


Moffie' is available to stream exclusively now on Curzon Home Cinema.

A Freedom Movement 2019 - The Exhibition at Leman Locke, London

The lifestyle hotel in Aldgate East, continues to host worth seeing creative exhibitions. Leman Locke is now introducing Michelle Beatty and her new photographic series A Freedom Movement 2019.

Michelle is an Australian born Londoner who has spent a creative lifetime moving seamlessly from the carnival of catwalks and high fashion showrooms, to the subtle backdrops of fine art photography - landscapes, architecture and foreign, far-off lands. For the first time, Michelle has created a body of work that straddles these two parallel career tracks, and the contrasting sides of herself.

Leman Locke is proud to present her newest photographic series, where three talented subjects with backgrounds in ballet, modelling and choreography are captured in the prime of their lives; embodying strength, wisdom, and feminine beauty. The subjects are offset by strong skies, powerful waves and brooding clouds. The photography exhibition runs across all 22 floors of the East London lifestyle hotel, open to the public from 10th May until 31st July.

A new Azzedine Alaïa exhibition is coming to Milan this month

After the huge success of the London’s Design Museum exhibition "Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier", a new announcement confirmed the good news.

The exhibition is travelling to Milan and it will be open on the 20th of September for four days only! 

Showcasing his creations from the early 1980s and following his creative path right up until his final Paris Couture show in July 2017, the retrospective is curated by fashion historian Olivier Saillard, who, it’s safe to say, knows the ‘King of Cling’ and his work like the back of his hand.

Saillard was also behind Alaïa retrospective Je Suis Couturier, which took place in Paris earlier this year. The exhibition brought together looks including the iconic purple hooded gown worn by Grace Jones in 1985 Bond film A View to a Kill and a series of dresses worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Helena Christensen.

Taking place in the Italian city’s Palazzo Clerici throughout fashion week, the exhibition runs from September 20-25. Book your flights now, fashion fans.
