Kutlwano Mogojwe

Kutlwano Mogojwe is a Botswana fashion designer and the co-founder of Black Trash Clothing. Quotes he Fashion Beyond Boundaries Award is bigger than the one we won last year (International fashion Designer award). It is a much bigger achievement as it opens doors for the brand to trend and do business globally without any boundaries of the origins of our brand. Most of all, the award is a great achievement to the rest of Botswana’s fashion industry as it puts Botswana on a global map as a fashion force to be reckoned with and as a trend setter amongst other African countries. It was a collection of wrap around ladies and men’s outfits including; wrap dresses and wrap men’s shirts. The collection was urban afro with a gothic influence, signature of zips details, both functional and decorative. We used a few jacquards fabrics to run away from your stereotyped description of an African look using African print fabrics. The style is a definition of an African aesthetic not by what is collectively interpreted as African but, by individual interpretation. We keep going back through the invitation of the AFWT organization and their partners, because of their interest in our work. Our organizations also share a similar goal to create a platform to grow and  create an African community of designers, models and industry professionals who shape this unique experience and provide a progressive environment for them to promote their work. Through this, it also creates opportunities and help grow many fashion industries in Africa.
