THE DESIGNERS
GERT-JOHAN COETZEE
@gertjohancoetzee
Gert-Johan Coetzee’s extraordinary couture creations have graced the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Chloe Bailey, Cardi B and various Miss Universe winners over the years.
This season’s offering is theatrical, sculptural and super shapely with textures, patterning, knits and prints all having a decidedly African thread running through them.
Think a Pan-African 90s Thierry Mugler (for shape, silhouette and ‘wow’-factor) and you’re getting the gist.

THABO MAKHETHA
@tmakcc
Thabo Makhetha has, over the years, received her fair share of accolades – from recognition by Vogue Italia and The Wall Street Journal, to being the recipient for the Cultural Appreciation Award from the government of Lesotho, for promoting traditional Basotho heritage worldwide.
This season’s collection celebrates texture, and colour-wise it is a brilliant juxtaposition of warm mocha and fresh lime green. We adore the swishing fringes!
