presents his latest S/S21 collection, titled “COUNTER INTELLIGENCE “.
According to a statement from the brand:
My SS21 collection, titled COUNTER INTELLIGENCE, is based off a series of interviews I conducted with confessed, tried and detained female ex-spies, who worked either for the Apartheid government or defected to the other side, essentially becoming double-agents in the process.
Its always fascinated me, how one can become a spy and commit high-treason. Speaking to some of these women, as well as author Jonathan Ancer, gave me some valuable insight into the psychology. Mr. Ancer’s book titled “BETRAYAL: The Secret Lives of Apartheid Spies” was the starting point of the collection and I highly suggest you all read it.
Its been interesting translating some of these stories into the collection. One of the spies I spoke to, Olivia Anne-Marie Forsyth, provided me with her scanned fingerprints, which now enjoy a polka-dot effect on LOOK 4 – there are many details like this that pepper the collection that I invite you to please look through.
Please watch the collection’s film, by the same name, shot by close collaborators photographer and stylist .I would like to thank everyone involved in this project. Your valued input and contribution is deeply appreciated.- Thebe Magugu
Speaking to Thebe said- “You become quite ostentatious. You almost have to hide in plain sight and play into these characters, It’s this idea of peacocking.”
