Self-taught Fashion Designer and Tailor, Zamaswazi, learned to sew on his mother’s treasured, aged sewing machine. Raised by an unemployed single parent, as one of 6 children, he would redesign his siblings’ old clothes to make something to wear.
His eponymous label, founded in 2013, is about inventive fashion, inspired by the designer’s journey of growing up and making something from nothing – reviving the old into something new.
Zamaswazi’s signature design style is sartorial elegance with vintage elements, retro creativity and African cultural aesthetics.
