Jackie Burger is former editor of Elle South Africa and owner of Salon58. That she calls a “live magazine”, a salon in Cape Town that brings together art, fashion, food, and is somewhere in between a concept store, an art gallery and a place where women can meet. And Jackie has style. A style that makes me want to wear more colour and clothes with a “strong” personality (I’m getting bored with minimalism!). And her – short – haircuts are so good! (now that I cut mine, I’m paying much more attention on short hair!). She is a woman who communicates both strength and gentleness. And she is a living example to cancel some fashion clichés.

1 | IT-Girls and style icons are not just XXS size girls in their Twenties.

2 | White or gray hair can be cool!

3 | There is no “age-appropriate” clothing. Put on what you like most and be happy.

4 | If you never thought of getting your hair cut short now you proably will.

5 | You can easily switch from a black and white look, with a male white shirt and black tuxedo pants, to super colorful prints and midi skirts. While retaining your own style. Oh, and accessories always make a difference, that’s a rule that still works!

  1. Evviva! Credo che tu sia la prima blogger italiana ad aver scritto di come si può essere affascinanti e in fashion anche se si è diciamo così “mature”. Spero che ti leggano in molte. Oppure se le tue seguaci sono solo giovani, mi auguro che mostrino questo articolo a mamme, zie e nonne.

    • ehehe grazie, me lo auguro anch’io!

  2. Non la conoscevo ed è meravigliosa, e sottoscrivo ogni tua parola. I capelli bianchi su di lei non la invecchiano affatto ma la rendono figa, e soprattutto mi piace tanto il suo saper spaziare dal minimal ai capi più estrosi pur mantenendo una solida identità. Ed è vero, ci si può vestire in qualsiasi modo a qualsiasi età, l’importante è restare coerenti con se stessi.

  3. oh Thank you! I am in my 40s and I have no problem weeding out which style cues are appropriate for me from the Margaret Zhang and Peony Lim posts; that said, this is something to behold! Well done sweet girl!
