Maxwell Boko and Mmuso Potsane for Mmusomaxwell

Spring/Summer 2021

Mmusomaxwell is a ready-to-wear womenswear fashion brand based in Johannesburg, South Africa, founded in 2016 by Maxwell Boko and Mmuso Potsane. Boko and Potsane met as contestants on the TV show The Intern, run by designer David Tlale, where they competed to present at South Africa Fashion week. Mmusomaxwell are known for their tailored, minimalist designs, aimed at cosmopolitan working women.

This ensemble is from the Imbokodo collection, released for Spring/Summer 2021. Through this collection Boko and Potsane wanted to critique notions of a woman’s place in society, especially in traditional African cultures. The collection featured 27 pieces in a mixture of bold shapes and colours (mainly yellow, blue, red and black). Many of the designs drew on elements of a man’s suit, with the designers exploring power dressing, and the power suit, as a tool for female empowerment.

Tolkien wrote "half-elf" a couple times, and D&D was like "y'all mind if I bring back the sistema de castas"

#cosas mias #and when Tolkien wrote elves and half-elves while he was still as racist as one could expect from an Englishman born in South Africa #he was implying more of a connection to something supernatural (elves are more akin to what we could call 'fae') #it was D&D that turned them into full Races and Species with numerical stats in the style of XIX century anthropology #which speaks a lot about modern fantasy #fantasy #worldbuilding

Apropriyeyshin

Laduma Ngxokolo for Maxhosa AFRICA (South Africa)

Spring/Summer 2017

The Apropriyeyshin dress is part of the 2017 Spring/ Summer collection, and was one of the first dresses to be made by Ngxokolo. With this collection Ngxokolo wanted to address cultural appropriation, but from a positive angle, recognising the way fashion can be used to celebrate different cultures and material traditions. For the collection he combined his staple Xhosa inspired patterns with traditionally western silhouettes, in this instance a form-fitted knitted maxi dress. Ngxokolo recongises that in wearing his Xhosa inspired clothes there is appropriation of sorts, yet he insists that there is a “way the people of that culture feel empowered by this form of expression”, by ensuring the recognition of Xhosa heritage within the collection.

Dark Country Launch Day: Take a Walk on the Wild Side …

Today is the Dark Country launch day, and I couldn’t be happier. 😁 Of course, those release day nerves are still there and the little voice of worry doesn’t disappear, but I’m also so excited for the world to read this book. Writing this book was, after all, a labor of love. Well, okay, maybe not love per se. It was a story that I needed to write, and through all the blood, sweat, and tears, I…
