Shweshwe and Fashion

From traditional clothes to street wear to haute couture: isiShweshwe's material transition from the realm of workwear to sought-after fashion was unexpected but instant.

Appearing first on the runways in South Africa, isiShweshwe soon gathered global attention, thanks to a number of local designers who reflect the complex relationship between fashion and identity.
