Dior Presents the Thebe Magugu X CTAOP Capsule Collection

Thebe Magugu x CTAOP capsule collection Presents by Dior

The House of Dior presents an exclusive Thebe Magugu X CTAOP capsule initiated by Maria Grazia Chiuri

In order to support the CTAOP* foundation – created and championed by House ambassador Charlize Theron – Dior and Maria Grazia Chiuri collaborated with 2019 LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Creators winner Thebe Magugu. 

Thebe Magugu, at 26, was the youngest designer in the LVMH selection for 2019 and the first African person to receive this prestigious distinction. For the collaboration, this South African virtuoso talent has dreamed up, through his contemporary feminist vision, a reinterpretation of the iconic New Look punctuated with his own stylistic codes. 

A cotton t-shirt displays the design of two female profiles holding hands – a powerful symbol of sisterhood – that can be admired, in bright yellow, on the essential Diorcamp as well as on a silk twill scarf featuring mesmerizing graphics constellated with the Dior signature. The emblematic Dior Book Tote is adorned with the same manifesto-as-a-seal in a large format that seems to melt into the deep blue of the irresistible Dior Oblique fabric, the fruit of the House’s expertise. Echoing this, a matching bob, adorned with two drawstrings — distinctive features of the young designer’s creations – completes this hyper-modern, hybrid silhouette. It is elevated by an enchanting, feather-light tulle skirt, with pleats underlining symmetrical effects. 

The full ultra-desirable limited-edition capsule is available in a selection of Dior boutiques, while the bucket hat, silk square and Dior Book Tote can be shopped on dior.com directly.
