IMPRINT X WOMEN FOR CHANGE

Fashion that fights for women.

This Women’s Month, Imprint South Africa is proud to present our most meaningful collaboration yet – Women for Change – a limited-edition capsule range that fuses fashion, storytelling, and activism.

Each garment in this collection was created in collaboration with five iconic South African women:

  • Zikhona Sodlaka – Actress and storyteller
  • Penny Lebyane – Broadcaster and activist
  • Lerato Sengadi – Publicist and media personality
  • Pabi Moloi – Broadcaster and presenter

These women have lent their voices and visions to garments that honour women’s strength, resilience, and courage.
