One of South Africa's brightest fashion
design stars Laduma Ngxokolo is off to The Netherlands where he is scheduled to speak at the
What Design Can Do conference which begins on Thursday 8 May, ending the next
day on the 9th. The event, now in its 4th year, was formed by a group of
designers from various fields "with the
aim of separating what is valuable from what is worthless. By showcasing
best practices and visions raising discussions and facilitating
collaboration between disciplines, What Design Can Do wants to raise
awareness among the public for the potential of creativity. At the same time,
What Design Can Do calls on designers to take responsibility and consider how
their work can impact the wider society," according to the official
website.
Ngxokolo qualifies because
of his use of locally produced materials and his exploration of his own Xhosa
heritage through design.
