“Dream bigger than your surroundings”
“Like me, this collection is African through and through,” says Nomzamo. “It is an ode to the very family and clan that I come from. My grandmother has always pushed me to open my eyes to the world and known that each of my dreams is attainable. She taught me how to stay humble but sassy, and how to love and accept myself, how to remain true to who I am, and most importantly: where I come from. That’s exactly why this collection couldn’t have been called anything other than Shandu. It is a tribute to my family and clan, and a thank you to them for helping me break barriers.”
Women have always been the backbone of society and we are now standing together. Seeing others do this through She Moves Us makes me excited to do the same and that’s why representation is so important. You cannot be what you cannot see and for as long as we can see it, we too can be it. Dream bigger than your surroundings and know that your current circumstances don’t have to be your final destination.

The collection launches today in the African market and features soft, sorbet colourways that are sure to make a strong statement. A digital African-inspired print is incorporated throughout with easy to throw on items like a Bomber Jacket and Jumpsuit, Nomzamo’s favourite two pieces, as well as the Starlet Sandal, First Flip, Top, Cropped Tees, Shorts and Headband.
