Episode Notes

In this podcast we talk to Dider de Villiers, the visionary behind one of South Africa’s leading fashion brands: Magents. In the years following apartheid, Magents stood out as a uniquely African brand committed to sharing the story of the continent through their expression of fashion. Didier shares with us how Magents has remained focused on celebrating African culture in fashion, despite expanding sales and production to a global audience. We also hear from Didier about the challenges, and the rewards, of being a voice for God’s justice, love and truth in the fashion industry.
