The captivating grace and energy of Jackie Burger
The founder of Salon 58 knows how to create an empowering environment for women
BURGER WEARS
A Mille Collines trench coat discovered at African Fashion Week. It has just the right hint of safari with its generous pockets and ticks her love for detail with its suggestions of metallic. The 1970s vintage silk skirt was remade to update the cut and its metallic threading brings the rest of her classic outfi t together. The leather belt was a find from Paris and is the perfect example of how simple luxuries and versatile lines make all the difference.
FAVOURITE RESTAURANT
I enjoy good restaurants with a view, seasonal produce and great wines, such as the restaurant at Waterkloof. I also love botanical gardens with tearooms: The Company’s Garden in Cape Town; Stellenbosch Botanical Garden and Vergelegen Estate.
