Just the concept for the spring/summer collection is already amazing!But the creativity level with the history of the apartheid and South Africa putting it together with the collection is just another brilliant next game level!!
Thebe is such an amazing designer, it’s such a shame that everyone keeps talking about the same circle of designers and forget about some of the amazing emerging talent in the industry. I hope through this video, more people will start following his work.
@@FashionRoadman And that’s why I love your video’s here on UA-cam. I myself just started studying marketing,journalism and fashion at London Metropolitan university.maybe not the best school but I am happy that I have someone like you . Who teaches us some great points of views. a voice that we have been missing in fashion and journalism.You open our eyes and getting us knowledge about designers like him. I myself born and raised in the Netherlands. Moved to London this year. My parents are from Cape Verde island where they have a lot of talent people like the rest of Africa/Asia/Latin countries. It’s not all about the Europe western fashion world or America.
As a South African the one thing I can confidently say about our creators in general is our ability to dive into research and references. It is HEAVILY emphasized on a tertiary level to have something to say and to have a clear cut vision of what your work symbolizes. I would say if you look at any creator from this country though, whether they have university training or not, is that they are informed and have the richest minds and ideas and that contributes to like 80% of anything they do. Great review🙏🏾🇿🇦
I cried while watching the premiere of this collection, there was just something so special, sincere and evocative about it. Anytime I hear more on this collection, my appreciation for the Easter eggs grows more and more. He is amazing, this was amazing.
I’m so blown away by this. Thebe’s theme choice for the collection and the granularity in terms of the references included remind me of how fashion can be such a powerful communication tool.
I work as a visual merchandiser at H&M and I think your content is so inspiring! I love how this collection/video fuse social justice issues with fashion. Thank you for your creations
Apartheid also involved other races. a basic way to put it is racial segregation, but in a hierarchy. At the top was whites, below them indian (meaning western asia) /asian (meaning eastern asia), next Coloureds (essentially mixed race but at this point they are so unique in their biological linage that they have become their own race), and lastly Blacks. in my opinion the reason why it took so long for it to end was do to our nations history and how the Government would use it as a means of separation. Oh as for Janet Cherry, you would be hard pressed to find people who know her. Trust me our history textbooks, key media and documentrys rarely mention her, i dont know why, for the same reason i dont know why she is a famous spy.
Oh yes you’re totally right. When I was reading about it, people were grouped into 5 classifications. I just didn’t want to delve too deep into it otherwise I’d end up talking for hours on the subject. Sometimes when I say black I really mean “POC.” What’s even more crazy is how your ethnic race was bold on your I-D card at the time so everyone could classify you properly. It was so messed up.
@@FashionRoadman It's called a "Domb-pass", It means Dumb pass. Black people had to carry it in public cause the police could stop you at anytime and check it. You didn't have it you get arrested and or beaten on the spot. My Uncle showed me his and boy its like a mini Bible, which was purposely made to not fit in the pocket, as inconvenience.
I'm SOUTH AFRICAN... from your review, idfwi, but eyy more power to Thebe.... fuck lvmh tho. Fashion being intellectualised is probably the biggest mistake to approaching creativity.
