Thebe Magugu
Taking the Fashion Industry by Storm,
One Stride At A Time
A fusion of modern contemporary fashion with a hint of edge and art define the pieces Thebe Magugu showcased at the 2019 SA Fashion week. Extremely talented and a true definition of fashion guru in the making, Thebe Magugu stunned guests with his summer/Spring collection.
Originally from the small town of Kimberley, Thebe moved to Johannesburg to study fashion design, fashion photography and fashion media from LISOF. After winning best graduate collection, he interned with and worked for a selection of designers, fashion institutions and retailers. After 2 years, he began his namesake label, THEBE MAGUGU, a contemporary South African fashion brand primarily operating within the field of women’s ready to wear, while having a firm footing in accessories and small multidisciplinary projects.
At the Fashion Week Show, Thebe’s collections were titled after University Subjects because he has a very deep respect for education and wanted to introduce that element into his brand. They are as follows, starting with most recent:
Art History: which is inspired by South African Art merged with Ecclesiastic, Monastic Shapes.
Home Economics: which looks at the expectations placed on women - SA women, who are very modern but find themselves in a traditionalist, therefore very misogynistic, environment.

Geology: [His first official collection]: Inspired by the need to escape. Thebe was going through a very tough time during this and he took a break to experience the outdoors. This collection has hikes, fishing and camping references.
