#WCW: Verushka Pather - classical dancer turned fashion designer
"Created for the African Queen who
steps out everyday and makes a statement that she has arrived without saying a
word" - Verushka Pather.
As we approach a very special day for all South Africans, Heritage Day, we are filled with a sense of immense pride over the innumerable amount of people that produce proudly South African items.
Not only are these items made with authenticity and pride, they are also filled with a unique diversity.
One such brand that we are celebrating today is Khanya Designs. A unique brand of Indo-African designs born from Africa with a fragrance of India.
The eyes behind this fusion brand is classical dancer turned fashion designer, Verushka Pather.
Her mission and vision for her brand is not only about creating beautifully bespoke garments, but also sensitive to sustainable fashion and committing to eco-friendly fashion.
One of the key things about proudly South African garments is making sure it is affordable to the varied markets.
And Khanya Designs prides itself on meeting the expectations of LSM groups both locally and internationally.
Passion is something that lives and breathes through our veins as South Africans. Regardless of our varied religious beliefs, cultures, and traditions, we unite as one when it comes to our South African heritage.
Verushka was motivated to create something that allowed her to merge her South African Indian heritage into something that showed off our rich and diverse culture.
She's certainly achieved that with her very bespoke clothing. Not only do they breathe individuality, they also represent diversity. A canvas of holistic designing...
