SAFW AW23 COLLECTIONS | PLJ X THE BREED

P.L.J X THE BREED is a fusion of two brands by Azaria Khoza and Presley Jacobs, who both hold National Diplomas in Fashion Design and Technology from the Tshwane University of Technology. Both were strongly inspired by their mothers to join the fashion world. The brand caters for both men and women with the aim of bringing together style conscious individuals from all corners of the world. The brand focuses on modernizing traditional knitwear techniques giving them a modern twist and uses eyelets - metal circles - as part of its original signature. They pride themselves in using natural fabrics on certain pieces to help contribute to minimizing the carbon footprint and promote sustainable fashion that doesn’t harm the environment. This season’s collection is called The Street Prix taking inspiration from A1 GRAND PRIX motorsport racing. The feminine side of the alpha male biker is softened using knits while the use of off-cuts to create elaborate embroidery references the vision to align with a sustainable fashion ethos.
