Tbose Chats to Fashion Designer Rich Mnisi

Rich Mnisi is one of the African continent’s most prolific creative multihyphenates. The creative director & fashion designer grew up pop culture obsessed, with strong cultural roots of his own as a proud member of South Africa's Tsonga tribe and as a member of a family with inspiring matriarchs. This background has served as a key inspiration in his ever contemporary work, from fashion collections worn by Beyoncé, Ciara & Naomi Campbell, to a furniture design collection recently exhibited at Design Miami. Mnisi has cultivated a compelling and immediately recognisable visual language that effectively showcases his talent and sharp vision as a graphic surface & textile designer, story teller and creative director. It’s as versatile as he is, allowing him to change mediums with ease. Rich is a master collaborator who has worked with adidas, BMW and OPPO. From blinding deserts to dark, dense forests, Rich’s vivid dreamscapes inspire viewers everywhere, every season, bringing the stories of each collection to life with an inimitable spark.
