MMUSO MAXWELL

Mmuso Potsane and Maxwell Boko, aka designers Mmuso Maxwell, are a fashion duo on the rise with an affinity for tailoring with skilful deconstruction, cut-outs and layering

For our latest SS18 collection we were primarily inspired by sign language and intrigued by how it’s still not one of the official languages or a subject in schools. Due to this, the hearing-impaired community is deprived of the opportunities offered to able-bodied people. We wanted to shine a light on this injustice with our collection. Throughout creating this range we kept referring to certain signs within the language, which we then infused with our aesthetic to create minimalist and wearable pieces.
