Have you heard the name “Rich Mnisi”? She has appeared in the editorial pages of Elle, Vogue, Marie Clarie and many more. So you just might have heard the name.
This isn’t why she is on our radar though. Mnisi creates contemporary fashion inspired by art, nature, music, and the spirit of Africa. The clothes she creates are totally inclusive and are fantastically gender-neutral.
“RICH MNISI is a South African based contemporary multi-disciplinary brand founded in 2015 by Africa Fashion International Young Designer of the Year 2014, Rich Mnisi,” the official website description reads.
It continues: “With a global view the brand is young at heart and explores the treasures engraved within Africa and the world of modern culture and heritage to tell the unique stories of then, now and soon. All this packaged in extremist yet minimalist structures which take design and craftsmanship as the first and foremost motivation.
“The brand is carved to maintain a contemporary outlook and stand firm in an aesthetic that brings worlds of artistic imagination together. RICH MNISI breeds new layers and visions inspired by sources outside of the realm of fashion, including film, music, art, and nature, being immersed but measured, picking up only the fitting notes to gather as foundation.”
The spectacularly bold and colorful prints are capturing our attention in a big way. These clothes are runway-ready, but they also capture contemporary street style while making a big statement.
