Opis zbirateljskega predmeta

Designer Clive Rundle from South Africa exchanged with artisan House of Thethana from Lesotho to create a bespoke The Commonwealth Fashion Exchange - an initiative for established and emerging fashion talent from across the Commonwealth’s 53 countries to showcase the power and potential of artisan fashion skills to deliver new networks, trade links and highlight sustainability. House of Thethana in Lesotho worked under Clive’s direction to design a custom textile print, achieved by superimposing one print onto another - welding two images together to create a visual to print onto silk for the final garment construction. The fabric was then screen-printed using water-based inks on to a silk ‘sandwich’ of organza, georgette, and habotai. The look consists of a wool and organza coat with Swarovski upcycled crystals, accompanied by wool and organza shorts and a woollen collar accessory. Lucilla Booyzen of SAFW facilitated the exchange.The look was displayed at Buckingham Palace and the Australian High Commission, London. Both exhibitions were curated by VOGUE

Clive Rundle: The Dream Weaver of South African Fashion

Clive Rundle’s journey began in Harare, Zimbabwe, where he was born in 1950. Early exposure to diverse cultures profoundly shaped his artistic sensibilities and instilled a fascination with blending influences—a characteristic that would become synonymous with his distinctive design aesthetic. Following schooling, he embarked on a four-year odyssey exploring Europe and the United States, absorbing stylistic nuances from prominent artists and designers. This formative experience fueled his ambition to forge a path in fashion, driven by an innate desire for innovation and creative expression. Returning to South Africa during apartheid, Rundle began his career as a designer amidst challenging socio-political circumstances. Recognizing the potential of blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary vision, he established Clive Designs CC in 1988—a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering belief in artistic exploration. Initially supplying iconic boutiques like Wizards, he honed his skills through meticulous observation and experimentation, mastering techniques that would later define his signature style. The early days were marked by resourcefulness and dedication; Rundle repurposed scrap fabrics and utilized simple tools to bring his designs to life—a reflection of his commitment to sustainability and artistic integrity. His debut collection at the Cour Vitrée in Paris in 1989 cemented his reputation as a visionary designer, attracting attention from influential figures within the fashion world. Subsequent collaborations with international brands like BVBA 32 further broadened his horizons and solidified his position as a pioneer of South African fashion innovation. Throughout his career, Rundle consistently championed experimentation—incorporating unconventional materials and techniques into his garments to challenge conventional notions of beauty and craftsmanship. He famously describes his creative process as “design-dreaming,” emphasizing the importance of intuition and imaginative exploration. A pivotal moment arrived in 2010 when he participated in Africa International Arise L’Afrique—Porté Autumn Show, presenting a paper at the Fourth International Conference on Design Principles and Practice in Chicago titled *Dividuality – An Ethnography of the Dress*. This intellectual engagement underscored his commitment to scholarly inquiry alongside artistic practice. Further demonstrating his versatility, Rundle showcased *One Pattern Piece, One Week, One Fabric, One Collection* at addictlab in Brussels and was featured in *Fast Forward Fashion *by Nathalie Grolimund—highlighting his ability to adapt to evolving trends while maintaining a steadfast dedication to creative vision. His influence extended beyond the realm of fashion; he served as South Africa’s representative at Global Fashion Capitals at FIT in New York, showcasing a garment from his Rorschach Collection which subsequently became part of the museum's permanent collection—a remarkable achievement reflecting his artistic legacy and contribution to cultural heritage. Subsequent acquisitions by Brighton Museum and Art Gallery solidified his reputation as a celebrated designer, recognizing the enduring beauty and innovation inherent in his creations. Clive Rundle’s work continues to inspire designers and artists alike, embodying the spirit of creativity, experimentation, and unwavering devotion to craft—a testament to his transformative impact on South African fashion history.
