XHOSA is a tribute to the indigenous Xhosa people of South Africa, who have long thrived in the Eastern Cape. Their deep spiritual connection—to both their ancestors and each other—shapes their way of life, their traditions, and even their dress. This sense of unity and mindfulness stood at the heart of my inspiration.n a world consumed by capitalism and fast fashion, the Xhosa way of life offers a striking contrast—a reminder of sustainability, purpose, and cultural identity. Their traditions should inspire us to rethink the way we interact with fashion and the materials we use.

Through innovative fabric manipulation, this collection explores new dimensions of materiality where natural tones merge with artificial hues, creating a dialogue between heritage and modernity.
