This Matric Dance mini lookbook celebrates the artistry of custom design for life’s most memorable moments. Each gown is perfectly tailored, featuring structured corsetry, graceful silhouettes, and intentional detail. Romantic, refined, and made to turn heads — these looks honour individuality and timeless elegance.

This autumn/winter 2025 mini capsule collection features six cohesive looks with earthy tones like brown and mustard yellow, accented by bold blue and red lines. The designs showcase abstract prints, color blocking, and curved-line embroidery for texture. Key silhouettes include asymmetrical necklines, tailored jumpsuits, and voluminous trousers, blending structure with fluidity. Design elements like paneling, statement sleeves, and off-the-shoulder cuts add a modern touch. The collection emphasizes versatility and cohesion through repeated motifs, particularly the bold black cross, creating a distinctive signature. It balances contemporary tailoring with artistic prints for a bold, fashion-forward aesthetic.

Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre is a museum in Musina, Limpopo, that houses historical artifacts, images, and information that tell the story of Mapungubwe's incredible history. This project is solely based on inquiring into the elements alongside the principles of design, through the architectural building whilst redesigning the conventional white shirt.

My graduate collection is titled 'Vhuvha ha Minwenda /bhubha ha minwenda/. which means "The Essence of Minwenda" This collection is centered around my VhaVenda heritage and identity. I was drawn to this concept because I wanted to explore origins of the VhaVenda culture and print namely; Minwenda/Nwenda. VhaVenda originated from the kingdom of Mapungubwe (9th Century), and in that, Makunda (VhaVenda bangles) are used as accessories to show links and pay homage to the Mapungubwe Kingdom. I strive to constantly find beauty in the essence of my culture and further revitalise interest in it.
