Hi. I found your work while struggling for inspiration ( I still am). I have to say your work is beautiful and it's amazing to see how you have progressed. What keeps you going?

Hey, thank you so much for the message and the kind words. Don't sweat it, the inspiration comes and goes, but no matter how dull things get, never forget that you are the source. Maybe it's just time to fill your cup up so when it's time to create, you'll have so much more to give. Take it easy and don't lose sight of why you do what you do. Life comes with it's ups and downs and we are only human so really, don't sweat it. It will come again.

CONFECTIONS X COLLECTIONS 2022

From the 16th to the 20th of November 2022, set in the heart of Cape Town curated by Twyg and presented by the Mount Nelson, the inaugural Confections x Collections showcased five South African fashion brands working in sustainable luxury – Thebe Magugu, Sindiso Khumalo, VIVIERS Studio, MAXHOSA AFRICA, and MMUSOMAXWELL. This curation of designers speaks to the current golden age of slow, considered South African design. Aside from their visual mastery and star appeal, their considered slow, high-quality, trans-seasonal, and ethical production makes these contemporary designers remarkable. Their collective body of work is a celebration of South African culture and heritage expressed through fashion. Take a peek into the Confections x Collections world in order of the five days – starting with Thebe Magugu and ending with MMUSOMAXWELL.
