MaXhosa Africa Returns to Paris Fashion Week
About the Collection
MAXHONAISSANCE RENAISSANCE is a creative narrative that tells a story of the rebirth of Africa; drawing a few inspirations from the renaissance art movement. This collection is also a commentary on the idea that the design language of an African designer can be beyond the continent, breaking the stereotype of what should be expected of the brand. As both an African and a global citizen, Laduma’s viewpoint is that “We cannot forget patterns as they are the DNA that our ancestors lead for us.
