DJ Maphorisa, the iconic Amapiano and house music producer, has once again shown his fashion-forward style, but this time with a twist: he’s chosen to support a local designer. Known for his affinity for high-end, global luxury brands, the Izolo hitmaker was recently spotted wearing a T-shirt from South African label Tshepo Jeans, turning heads with his local pride.
The designer T-shirt, priced at R1,500, featured Tshepo Jeans’ bold We, The People slogan. Maphorisa’s choice to sport this particular piece was a departure from his usual look, which often includes designer brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton.
DJ Maphorisa’s embrace of Tshepo Jeans isn’t just a fashion choice—it’s a statement. In a country where local designers often face intense competition from international brands. Tshepo Jeans, founded by Tshepo Mohlala, has been a brand championed for its unique and authentically South African designs. Known for its quality denim and the iconic “crown” logo, Tshepo Jeans has steadily grown in popularity, earning a loyal fan base that includes both local and international admirers.
Beyond his music, DJ Maphorisa has been a cultural influencer in South Africa, shaping not only musical trends but also fashion tastes. His style often blends high fashion with street style, and fans look up to his bold, eclectic choices. By choosing Tshepo Jeans, he is broadening his style and bringing more attention to South African talent, proving that local brands can be just as stylish and luxurious as international ones.
