RELIC. With a profound interest in considered and sincere design this season collection yields the Lukhanyo Mdingi label in creating meticulously made pieces. The intention is to ensure a pragmatic and mindful approach in product development. Working with artisans specifically within the textile field, select pieces such as the Felted Kid Mohair and Merino Wool blend items adhere to the principles of what mindful & collaborative design means to us; looking into human ingenuity as the provenance in creating design that is honest, steady and strong.

UBUNTU. I AM BECAUSE WE ARE. Africans believe that a person is a person through other persons. That my humanity is caught up, bound up, inextricably, with yours. When I dehumanize you, I dehumanize myself. The solitary human being is a contradiction in terms. Therefore you seek to work for the common good because your humanity comes into its own in community, in belonging. Regardless of our individual pursuits, we have to be a team grinding towards greatness. To be a group of people on a quest to make the world better, not just different.

IMBOKODO. This season we wanted to challenge the narrative of a women’s place in society, especially in African cultures. We dove into the world of cultural influenced women living in a modern space, woman who encompass domestic features and in spite of patriarchal notions can still hold primary positions in business, politics and society.

HOPE. Recent travels around South Africa, and a growing desire to completely localize our sourcing process inspired Good Good Good founder Daniel Sher's SS21 collection. To this end, the collection steps up our continued efforts to reduce our brand's carbon footprint and to lower our impact on our vulnerable planet. The Good Good Good SS21 collection, titled ‘HOPE’, comprises tried and trusted shapes refined over six years of radical experimentation, with a specific focus on our core product, the 100% South African T-shirt.

The final, considered selection features both vibrant & understated outfits made exclusively from two local textile houses, both notable for their ethical processes and sustainability.

EZOKHETHO introduces their new collection title "BATHO PELE".

A popular South African phrase, "BATHO PELE" a Setswana/Sesotho term that means "People First". Also known as "abantu phambili" in isiZulu. Meaning placing the needs of people first or placing the needs of others before your own. This phrase more than ever is relevant to the current events.

With the world going through a pandemic and at the same token fighting injustice and inequality, we find both roads somehow parallel to each other with the notion that both are ultimately for the well-being of all people, to put "People First".

NOWAM by CINDY MFABE.

This season we wanted to honor my mother Thembane (Nowam) Mfabe. We captured her free spirit and boldness, which she often displayed in her daring use of color. 

We also drew from her strength, using structured but soft and flowy silhouettes throughout the collection.
