From making viral moments at Paris Fashion Week, MaXhosa Africa will unveil its Autumn-Winter 2026 collection, SIYI’KULTURE, at the highly anticipated MXS Kulture Festival.
In its fourth year, MXS Kulture Festival brings together lovers of MaXhosa Africa, dressed in their favourite items from one of Africa’s most influential brands.
MXS Kulture Festival offers a cultural and educational experience with fashion, food, and music coming together in one place.
A day filled with connecting and enjoying performances from South Africa’s top artists is topped with a fashion show at sunset.

Last year’s fashion show at MXS Kulture Festival, award-winning rapper Maglera Doe Boy had all eyes on him in his custom MaXhosa Africa outfit, as his commanding presence took over.
If the recent Paris Fashion Week videos are anything to go by, attendees this year can expect a show. MaXhosa Africa made waves when a clip from a moment during the SiyiKulture showcase in Paris went viral.
The clip showed dancers that included media personality Robot Boii, real name (Mzwakhe Mbuli Jr), splashing homegrown custard brand UltraMel on the runway as models walked.
“At the festival, the fashion show is one of the defining moments. Presented just before sunset, the latest collection is unveiled on the runway, allowing both us and the audience to experience the creativity and craft as it comes to life,” said Laduma Ngxokolo, Founder and Chief Creative Director.
