TRANQUILA TRIBE | VOL II
It's official, the end is in sight! Combat lockdown lethargy with our go-to weekly guide to help get us to the finish line. This week we hear from Anita Patrickson and Deborah Brett who talk all things pottery, table mountain hikes and dreams of returning to the warmer climes of Es Vedrà, Ibiza.

FASHION STYLIST & FOUNDER OF AMANU | @anitapatrickson
ZJ: What are you reading?
Anita: Walter Isaacson's biography on Leonardo da Vinci
ZJ: What are you watching?
Anita: I am currently watching 'My Octopus Teacher' on Netflix.
ZJ: What are you wearing?
Anita: I have been living in my favourite ZJ punch pink tie-dye Cabaña.
ZJ: How are you staying sane?
Anita: Luckily I managed to get back to South Africa to ride out the lockdown with my family. So, I am being spoiled with good weather, hikes up Table Mountain and game drives in the bush... that and working on our @amanustudio summer collection!
ZJ: What are you dreaming about?
Anita: The day that I can hug and kiss and squeeze all my friends instead of awkward elbow bumping!
DEBORAH BRETT
FASHION EDITOR & CERAMIST | @deborahbrett
ZJ: What are you reading?
Deborah: I'm not normally a fan of self improvement books but 'Fears to Fierce' by Brita Schmidt-Fernandez is one of the most energising and uplifting women I know.
ZJ: What are you watching?
Deborah: As a ceramicist I can't help but get immersed in 'The Great Pottery Throw Down'. My kids love watching it with me and I bore them with explaining all the techniques.
ZJ: What are you wearing?
Deborah: I'm trying get used to buttons on trousers and shoes that close. I've been living in cosy knits and fluffy slippers for so long.
ZJ: How are you staying sane?
Deborah: I have been locking myself away in my garage which has become my pottery studio over lockdown. Focusing on clay is extremely meditative and an excellent way of blocking out negativity.
ZJ: What are you dreaming about?
Deborah Brett: Seeing the blue and white tiles in my courtyard in Ibiza. I can't wait to have the warmth of the Ibithan sun on my face again, breakfast on the terrace looking at Es Vedrà - bliss!
