& OTHER STORIES teamed up with SINDISO KHUMALO to work on a limited co-lab collection. The South African designer has lent her profoundly personal touch to dresses and beachy separates made from organic cotton, recycled cotton and linen. Each piece carries optimism interwoven with tales to tell. BAKER & CO supported the shoot with photographer Hedvig Jenning and DOP Dylan Boestra (styling: Anna Tornqvist, hair & makeup: Alet Viljoen).
"As an African designer, what truly matters to me is to design clothing that can highlight my African heritage and history, and bring it to light in a contemporary setting… Serving as the starting point for the co-lab collection were the materials themselves and ensuring they were sourced in a more sustainable way… Some of the silhouettes are inspired by vintage portraits of women from Africa and the African diaspora… South Africa’s cultural and natural landscape is expressed in prints and color." Sindiso Khumalo
