Rubicon's latest collection pays tribute to founder Hangwani Nengovhela's Venda heritage
The theme of the Myth of Origin collection is a celebration of the return to self. Nengovhela channels the history of the cultural heritage site, Mapungubwe. She references the ancient landscape, the rich animal kingdom and the celebration of all things that explain her origins
Celebrating South African glamour, the latest Rubicon collection was designed to bring healing, joy, and vibrancy to the fashion scene during these troubled times.
Nengovhela showcases a collection that is both ethereal and practical inspired by her rich family heritage. Gathering huge inspiration from her own mother’s glamour years throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, Nengovhela has created a collection with various fashion elements from her different silhouettes, bright colours, and energy of those eras. She is bringing vintage design to life for a current audience.
“Like most young ladies, my mother was my number one fashion and style influence,” said Nengovhela. “With this collection, I’m paying homage to her for her endless inspiration. She brought glamour and class to our household even while doing the most mundane activities like carrying me on her back. I’m honouring her in a number of ways, including a T-shirt which will depict that exact imagery.”
