The film for his spring 2022 line shows the designer with his mother Iris and aunt Esther sifting through a box of family photographs. Each image inspired an outfit, and prompted a stream of memories that tumbled out in a mix of English and their native Setswana language. “I wanted to do something a bit more joyful,” Magugu said at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, where outfits were displayed against blow-ups of the corresponding photos. Riffing loosely on the original clothes, he paired green or pink shirts, in a paisley print incorporating his brand’s signature sisterhood logo, with matching razor-pleated skirts. Tailored jackets and Sunday-best dresses contrasted with more casual looks, including ribbed knits, jeans with wide cuffs and a sleeveless polo shirt minidress inspired by a sleepover party. Continuing his tradition of incorporating personal elements into his prints, Magugu blew up black-and-white family photos on a skirt, and dotted portraits in medallion frames on a wax print known as Shweshwe.
