Fashion designer Rich Mnisi has shared a new Pride collection with Adidas titled Let Love Be Your Legacy.
This isn’t the first collaboration Mnisi has had with the sportswear apparel, as he created a Tsonga inspired range with Adidas in 2022.
The new collection dropped on 15 May, and the designer is hosting a launch party to celebrate his new Pride collection in June.
Mnisi shared that the range was inspired by a love letter the designer wrote to his younger self, where he declared Let Love Be Your Legacy, as his mission statement.
The collection is also a “rallying cry” for active allyship to empower and champion the LGBTQIA+ community.
Mnisi shared his love letter to his younger self on his social media platform.
“This is the moment to call yourself worthy, and help others do the same.
This is the hour to bond, to love and be loved by family and community.
This is the day to love – unbridled, unfiltered, unashamed – and to never look back.
Let love be your legacy.”

Through his designs he wants to create a world of acceptance.
