MaXhosa

Laduma Ngxokolo’s mother left him with an inheritance: his Xhosa heritage. Ngxokolo made the decision to express this heritage using fashion design, and went on to create the brand which has been featured on international runways: MaXhosa by Laduma.

This short documentary created by AFDA post graduates, Kathrin Raczek and Trevor Stuurman, lets you walk with Ngxokolo as he talks you through his inspirations, how he uses the patterns and motifs from Xhosa beadwork in his knitwear, and the ways in which he preserves the Xhosa culture with his brand.
