Thebe magugu had 9 mannequins dressed I the 'mother and child heritage dress' collection. “It has always been important to me to make fashion accessible for all. Using augmented reality, ‘Vogue x Snapchat: Redefining the Body’ is an exhibition that invites everyone – regardless of race, gender, sexuality and size – to experience and enjoy fashion from some of the world’s very best designers and luxury brands. It doesn’t get better than that,” says Edward Enninful OBE, editor in chief of “British Vogue”. Magugu paid tribute to her south african roots through her work in this collection paying tribute to the struggles with race and women rights In this country. she uses cultural illustrations by artist Phathu Nembwili who uses vibrant colours to depict women who are lively and free.

I love that she used graphic design and illustraition in her designs to communicate ideas. I think it could be interesting for me to start looking further into pattern making and designs to express my struggles with ADHD and communicate my personal journey, possible through printing or textile work.
