FLAUNT A DIVERSE DESIGN

SOUTH African designer Thebe Magugu’s recent SA Fashion Week (SAFW) Woolworths’ Style By SA collection impressed, with feminine silhouettes with a play of textures and detailing.

His women’s ready-to-wear garments are functional while experimenting with tradition, art and design.

I chat to the designer about the brand and inspirations behind the collection. Confident, smart, risk-taking and impassioned.

The differences between men and women and how these differences look like together, in one form.

Seeing how something goes from an abstract idea, into a second sketch, into a third form and into something entirely different when put on people. That process is quite fascinating – seeing something morph from nothing.
