Thebe Magugu unveils his “LOBOLA” collection with prominent South Africans.
In his third installment of the Heritage Capsule Magugu explores the custom of “Lobola,”, a formal process of negotiation between two families to come to a mutual agreement on the ‘bride price”, an essential practice in most customary communities.
The collection has been featured in British Vogue, where Magugu explained the idea behind the exquisite creations, saying he aimed to celebrate the concept of opposites attracting.
“I wanted to explore the allure of contrasting, like pairing acidic yellow with deep plum, which may seem unconventional but visually captivates,”
The collection campaign features 18 South African leaders, who are groundbreaking in their respective fields with their talents, skills, and minds – whether it’s in law, film, literature, business, sports, culinary arts, or art.
They include:
- Ama Qamata
