Kidhood by Tlotlo Methane is where streetwear and fine art combine into something greater than the sum of their parts. Drawing from Johannesburg’s buildings, people, and everyday life, each piece is truly one of a kind.

For Tlotlo, a spiritual artist deeply invested in the ethical impact of his work, "Fine art is the inspiration, but the world is the muse."

His brand, Fada Kreativz Art, specialises in the time-consuming shading and hyperreal elements often overlooked by other artists. His customised jackets are instantly recognisable.

Driven by purpose, Diddy uses his talents for good, generously donating his time to teach art and dance to at-risk youth. Diddy knows that sustainability also requires appreciating and nurturing new talent.

The artist behind Ngnano Design is at the epicentre of what he calls Afro(ec)centric artisanal fashion. His highly distinctive work celebrates individuality and creative expression, drawing deeply on roots of all kinds: personal, cultural, and artistic.

Tanaka sees fashion as both a perpetrator and a potential solution to the indiscriminate exploitation of natural and human resources.
