[…] For a lot of young designers, production costs can be increased monumentally when you have to buy reams and reams of fabric to make a range. Luckily, textile companies such as Da Gama and Vlisco step in and provide some young designers with free fabric, thereby bringing down the cost of producing a collection (and also giving free publicity to said textile companies). However, because these textile companies usually specialize in ethnic fabric, young designers’ collections can become stuck in the shweshwe rut. Thando Zamxaka successfully managed to avoid this by using international designs and trends (biker chic, pleats, layers and dramatic collars) made in ethnic fabric. The one buttoned waist jacket in red, a blue kimono influenced jacket with a red staggered belt and empire line goddess gown in ethnic textiles showed a designer who is in touch with what the African identity is all about - a synthesis of our roots, high street style, couture and popular culture. I look forward to Zamxaka’s growth in honing this aesthetic. To view Thando Zamxaka’s collection, please visit the designers section on FashionAfrica.com or click HERE. […]
