MSWENKOxGALXBOY

--:--

Mzansi streetwear brand rooted in rebellious street culture and made to last forever.

GALXBOY was born and bred from the streets of Pretoria. The genius behind the brand, Thatiso, found a gap in local quality streetwear and created a timeless unisex brand that would allow young South Africans to express their style and street culture like never before.

Inspired by the likes of Kanye West, LV, Amakipkip and Nigo, GALXBOY is constantly pushing the envelope in creating high-quality pieces that are bold, unique and designed to last a lifetime..

That’s why we’re excited to showcase our #MSWENKOxGALXBOY collaboration. GALXBOY took our Polo Vivo Mswenko design and reimagined it in their street-inspired style to create a limited edition range of streetwear.

You’ll notice that the pieces have a camouflage-inspired aesthetic because Thatiso explains that: “Surviving in the streets means you have to blend in.” He then juxtaposed the camouflage with bold and vibrant colours because: “Once you survive, you have to be unique to go further.”

The entire range is an ode to the streets of Mzansi and exudes that quintessential confidence that defines ‘Mswenko’

MSWENKOxYAYABE

--:--

Mzansi maker of things who is driven to tell stories through line and colour.

Emerging from the bustling streets of Cape Town, Yay Abe is a boundary-breaking illustrator and street artist who brings a bold, colourful style to the streets.

He uses vibrant colours and bold line work to drive a compelling narrative in his art and proudly explains that: “At some point, I realised I could tuck away and stack different scenes on top of each other to create a sort of pattern that holds surprises for my audience.”

Whether it’s pen to paper or spray can to wall, Yay Abe lives Mswenko with every piece and that’s why we’re thrilled to announce the #MSWENKOxYAYABE collaboration. He reimagined our Polo Vivo Mswenko design in his signature style and created a one-of-a-kind digital art piece that pays homage to the streets of Mzansi.

When creating this limited edition art piece, he was inspired by the street culture of Jozi. From the way people walk to the way the city is constantly buzzing, there’s this effortlessness of style that is unmatched and he wanted to capture this in his artwork.

For Yay Abe, this was more than just a collaboration piece. “I’ve also never pushed my style in this direction before and this project was perfect to flex and own my voice,” he says, and that is the essence of Mswenko.
