Why South African Fashion Is So Good

In today's video I speak to Caleb Davis, a South African fashion designer based in Cape Town (@calebiezzz). We speak about how South African fashion designers like Thebe Magugu, Sindiso Khumalo and Lukhanyo Mdingi have been innovating and educating people in the country. We also speak about how they are collective building the infrastructure in the country.

It's wonderful seeing all these vids of your South Africa visit. Rich Mnisi is another South African designer ahead of the game. Would love a vid on him.

[@FashionRoadman]

Thanks! I know who Rich Mnisi is but haven't looked deeply into his work as of yet. Looking forward to learning more as from my understanding he has one of the biggest brands in SA.

[@guyafrica7894]

@@FashionRoadman i figured you'd know about him. You definitely put lots of research into your vids and we appreciate it.

Lukhanyo Mdingi and I studied in the same University in the Fashion Design building at the same time, even though he was a year ahead of me and I’m saying this to show that I’m talking from experience!!! He is the one person that I can say like the whole fashion floor knew, even if some people would not admit it right now lol but we all knew it, from the lectures to the students, we all knew He was definitely gonna make it in the fashion industry. His work ethic, passion, focus and TALENT was unmatched. First one in and last one out every single day, I can remember the countless times I would walk past the btech classroom while I was doing my 3rd year and it was just him alone with his work in a dark room… over and over again lol he was the one constant in such a crazy environment but he was in his own world. Truly the Beyoncé of the whole fashion design department in CPUT!!! He deserves all the success that he has now and I pray that in a few years people will be referencing him like they do about people like Alexander McQueen, Yohji Yamamoto, e.t.c.

WE GOT SO MANY WEIRD CREATIVE PEOPLE IN SA ITS BEAUTIFUL BUT WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO MAKE THESE HOUSES BIGGER THAN WHAT THEY ARE. THAT IS THE SADDEST THING ON EARTH!

[@bri1085]

Money is holding back a lot of the cultural sphere in SA, even the musical scene, Amapiano might be getting an international spotlight but there are so many genres of music that never got the proper spotlight because we don't quite have the money to properly sustain a lot of different musical scenes at a netional level.

I have watching your channel since 2018/2019 and I am happy you visited SA. Love from Cape Town

[@FashionRoadman]

Appreciate the support, hoping to go to Joburg at some point too.

[@jessicaT12345]

thanks for this. I'm a big fan of Magugu and think he is one of the greatest fashion designers of our time.

[@lifealtaring]

Ayo…. This is great work .. where fashion truly began

[@jhoover3098]

So happy to see this, making me feel like I’m still there! After a month, it’s hard to leave vibrant, creative Cape Town.

[@FashionRoadman]

Cape Town is such a great place with a strong creative community. I hope it will get mainstream soon.

[@reportthehype4689]

Very informative! Love this video

[@elvischris4759]

Well done, Ayo!

[@FashionRoadman]

Thanks!

[@andyzamora584]

Really enjoy your channel, but you never mention the American designers, designers like HALSTON, Perry Ellis, Donna Karan and even the black designer Stephen Burrows, I mentioned the ones from the past that made contribution, I think American fashion has been very influential, a lot of new designers coming up in NY!

[@FashionRoadman]

This is true! Must be a KZbin thing sometimes I forget what I’ve made for each platform. I’ve made videos on a lot of American designers on TikTok but now that I’m going through my KZbin catalogue I haven’t done much of that on KZbin. Definitely something to think about.

[@toriamartan3295]

Good one,nice one coverage of fashion in South Africa, sorry but me being so very observant sadly😒to say I noticed again even in the year 2023 behind the scenes where's any talented hair stylist, makeup artists, model dresses & of course very important the actual fashion stylist of color especially those from areas in South Africa & surely beyond, truly that part nothing to do with content developer or & content,so thanks I appreciate on the one hand, however some of your comments about black people😮, might I interject a rather important thought here please🙄 this is where due diligence & thorough investigation of the other fashion designers in history could & should enter informative factual knowledge that actually would be well worth passing on🤔 Sadly 😥 there were way to many references towards what black people DON'T HAVE or Did Not have exposure to 'be careful' please 🤨
