Gugu Peteni: A Story Of Creativity, Identity And Breaking Barriers In Fashion

As the art calendar wound down in December, and we counted the days to the festive break, an invitation landed in my inbox.

It was a chance to view the latest clothing collection by GuguByGugu at WeAreEgg in Rosebank, a vibrant retail platform and home to some of South Africas trendiest fashion brands.

I couldnt resist this last event of the year and the opportunity to meet the creative force behind GuguByGugu Gugu Peteni.

Shes had an extraordinary year, showcasing at the New York and Paris fashion weeks, and winning the best young designer award at Paris Haute Couture Week.

When we meet, her warm smile lights up the room and her vibrant personality mirrors the energy of her bold capsule collection.
