Home Affairs

Wanda Lephoto Spring Summer ‘22

All In Line – Home Affairs

As we continue to explore the essence of who we are, this season we maintain two of our core values; (a): Cultural Fusion – The blending of two or more worlds to create new propositions for identity and representation. (b): Inclusive: Concerned with the identities of other-wise under-represented people, black people being of particular study and inspiration, creating a space that allows people to be free to negotiate the boundaries of their own representation, no matter how many times that changes.

Home Affairs is a department of The South African government and its main functions is to protect and verify the identity and status of citizens and other persons that reside in South Africa. This makes it possible for people to realise their rights and access benefits and opportunities in both the public and private domains.

Home Affairs also regulates and facilitates immigration and the movement of persons through ports of entry. It provides civics and immigration services at foreign missions; and determines the status of asylum seekers and refugees in accordance with international obligations.

This is the base to which our Spring/Summer 2022 collection is created.

To us, this represents a place of equality, that no matter your social status and class you have to pass through the hands of this department. A melting pot of cultures all in one place, seeking and representing different traditions, backgrounds and histories.
