Speaking of the opportunity to showcase at UNESCO Africa Fashion Week in Paris, Mac Mashilo, Creative Director of Excelsior Lusso commented: “Through the fusion of various cultures utilizing textures, fabrics, colours, patterns, and personalities, a parallel can be drawn to the unity found in marriage.”

 

“This journey of discovery and exploration elevates garments beyond just fabric and stitching, transforming them into a platform for individual expression that showcases the wearer’s distinct character and heritage. This is lively and ever-evolving fusion that allows South Africans to honour their identity while embracing the beauty and diversity of their multicultural nation.” Says Mac Mashilo, Creative Director of Excelsior Lusso.

The showcase will also be a promotion of Cultural Unity. Excelsior Lusso finds it heartbreaking to see the barriers and inequalities in how South African cultures are represented, hindering our ability to come together as one. This lack of cultural unity is hurting our nation and society. The brand Excelsior Lusso strongly believes we have so much strength in our diverse culture and shared values of humanity, creativity, tolerance, open-mindedness, and inventiveness.
