For his first presentation at Paris Fashion Week, South African designer Thebe Magugu created an immersive experience.
Guests entered a dilapidated screening room in the basement of the Palais de Tokyo to discover mannequins wearing African masks sitting on chairs facing a screen projecting a short film.
Committed to manufacturing in Africa, the winner of the LVMH Prize for Young Designers produced just 10 looks for his “Anthro 1” fall line as he works to upskill his suppliers.There were variations on shirtdresses — some with sheer lace insets at the elbow — and feminine pantsuits. A lilac logo trenchcoat came in a check print inspired by the tablecloth in his grandmother’s kitchen, while a shirt and cropped pants featured a stripe motif made by photocopying strips of denim.
Also new this season were knit dresses and scarves produced in Cape Town. In one image, Annah Seroalo modeled a green-and-white ribbed version in the dining room of Magugu’s childhood home, suddenly transformed into a theater of high fashion.
