IPOPENG EXT. A/W 20 COLLECTION: “ANTHRO 1” I am still speechless – next week, I will be having my first presentation on the official Paris Fashion Week calendar, titled “IPOPENG EXT.”, presenting my A/W20 Collection ‘ANTHRO 1’ Shot in Ipopeng – the area of the township in which I grew up. The name translates into ‘Beautify Yourself’ – a fitting name for the people and places who serve as my earliest and most poignant references. Presenting at Palais De Tokyo.

Being a womenswear designer, the journey into menswear has been an exciting yet challenging one but I am thrilled that its one I shared with my best friend. I am overjoyed to have collaborated with him for #SAMW in a collection made purely from the heart. Thank you Simon Deiner, Deon Redman, Jen Deiner, Githan Copoo, Gisele Human, The Incredible Models and Crew who made it all such a feat to watch and be part of. I’m so inspired by the level of skill and creativity from all the designers we had the privilege to show with. Here is one of the looks backstage from the RICH MNISI x THEBE MAGUGU collaborative collection titled Family Photos [S/S 2016/17] – who didn’t have a comically oversized bomber jacket growing up?
