Overview

Style was a South African consumer magazine that was founded in 1981 and published by Caxton and CTP Publishers and Printers Limited. The magazine's founding editor was Marilyn Hattingh, who based the publication on American "city magazines", aimed at an upmarket readership of conspicuous consumers. The magazine was a chronicle of Johannesburg high society, and its tone was acerbic and often satirical. Its content was entirely South African in origin, and the writing staff included Hilary Prendini-Toffoli, Patrick Lee, Gus Silber, Adam Levin, Chris Marais, Linda Shaw and Lin Sampson. In late 2006, it was announced that the magazine would be discontinued. The magazine has often been associated with a Kugel readership.

Notable quotes

“Indifference to style ... is almost always symptomatic of the dogmatic sclerosis of content.”
— Theodor Adorno, "Reconciliation under Duress," in Aesthetics and Politics (Verso: 1977), p. 154
“The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work.”
— Voltaire, Dictionnaire philosophique portatif ("A Philosophical Dictionary") (1764), Style.
“And, after all, it is style alone by which posterity will judge of a great work, for an author can have nothing truly his own but his style.”
— Isaac D'Israeli, Literary Miscellanies, Style.
“Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very thing which can least of all be changed. A man's style is nearly as much a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, the throbbing of his pulse,—in short, as any part of his being is at least subjected to the action of the will.”
— Francois Fénelon.
“For style beyond the genius never dares.”
— Petrarch, Morte di Laura, Sonnet 68.
“All styles are good except the tiresome kind.”
— Voltaire, L'Enfant Prodigue, Preface.
