Get ready to rock your style at Rocking the Daisies 2024! This year, we’re excited to announce an exclusive merchandise collaboration with GALXBOY, the iconic South African clothing brand known for its vibrant designs and authentic cultural flair. From October 3 to October 6, festivalgoers will have the chance to grab limited-edition pieces that celebrate both the spirit of the festival and the essence of South African fashion.
Stand out in bold, eye-catching apparel that fuses music and artistry, while supporting local talent. These exclusive items promise to be a must-have, offering festivalgoers a stylish way to remember the unforgettable Rocking the Daisies 2024 experience.
In addition to the exciting merch drop, GALXBOY and Rocking the Daisies teamed up for the 2024 Festival Talent Search competition, which has highlighted some of South Africa’s brightest budding designers. These young creatives were invited to submit five original looks, which were judged by a select panel of industry experts.
Now, the competition has been narrowed down to the Top 5 designers, who will showcase their collections at the Rocking the Daisies Fashion Showcase during the festival. Each designer’s collection will be aligned with the festival’s 2024 theme: “Into the Stars”. The winner will be announced at the festival after the fashion showcase.
The winning designer will receive a cash prize of R20,000 and, more excitingly, the opportunity to collaborate on the Rocking the Daisies 2025 capsule collection. Additionally, the winner will embark on a one-week internship with the Founder and Creative Director of GALXBOY, offering them valuable insight into the business of fashion.
The Top 5 Designers competing for this prestigious award are:
Zeshaan Samodien – @zeshaanhaku
Kgopotso Malefo – @kgopotsobabe
Itumeleng Pheto – @itu.pneto
