South African designers have already proved that they are worthy of a spot on the international stage. If you need proof of that, just look at Miley Cyrus who was recently spotted wearing an outfit by acclaimed local designer, Thebe Magugu.

Miley was seen on Instagram wearing a pink suit from the Thebe Magugu Doublethink Spring/Summer 2022 – the first full menswear collection created by the label. Last month, this hot new capsule was launched at the Pitti Uomo fashion show.
The collection was created to challenge the various forms of corruption that exist throughout Africa.
“In many ways, the societal ills the continent wrestles with stem from the insidious actions of its leaders,” says the Thebe Magugu website.
“In South Africa, we have regularised the daily tales of missing millions and economy-controlling families. These stories become dinner-time anecdotes, which minimizes the devastating ramifications that corruption holds – from increased gaps in education and equality to the mismanagement of public goods and services, which often always morphs into violence.
“Corruption is a global issue, which defeats the ends of justice and deters a country’s sense of safety and trust. However, some strong individuals have said ‘enough!’ – the brave women and men who have come forward as whistleblowers, who have exposed the level of corruption from companies and institutions both private and state.”
In many ways, when international stars wear locally designed clothes, the South African fashion scene gets a major boost. Not only do locals start to pay more attention to our homegrown brands, but international fashion lovers also start to look into these labels.
