Chivas Regal embodies a sense of entrepreneurship and luxury
Comfort and quality are not mutually exclusive for Mandla Holomisa
the finer things in life – suitably so, as he manages several premium brands for one of the world’s leaders in the wines and spirits industry, Pernod Ricard.
HOLOMISA WEARS
Copper linen jacket and navy pants by CSquared, a crisp pinstripe white shirt by Viyella and a brown leather Fabiani belt. “For me, as long as the colours and elements work and play together I’m happy.” His shoes are brown Carducci
leather boots with a zip worn with Skinny Sbu socks. “I got these socks as a gift and I really like them.” On his right-hand wrist is his Emporio Armani Chronograph Watch with soft perforated grey leather strap and on the other, some wooden beads he picked up from a market in Los Angeles.
HOLOMISA LOVES
Style icon? Brad Pitt for his red carpet looks and Mr Ultra Suave himself, Pharrell Williams, who I’ve been a fan of since his days of launching the
ICECREAM brand. Best holiday? As an Eastern Cape native, I love exploring the untouched “beach-bushes” of the Wild Coast. Leisure time? I love cooking and trying out new recipes. I have lots of cookbooks and all the gadgets you can
think of in my kitchen. Drink? Chivas 18 on the rocks with a tinge of water.
