Lerato Sengadi x Imprint – Women for Change Legacy Dress
100% of Profits Donated | Limited Edition
This is more than fashion — it is remembrance, resistance, and a call for justice.
Worn by cultural curator and activist Lerato Sengadi, this powerful garment forms part of the exclusive Women for Change collection — a campaign rooted in honouring women who have suffered and lost their lives to gender-based violence in South Africa.
The custom print on this dress was created in partnership with Women for Change, using images of real women who were victims of femicide and violence. Their faces — brave, beautiful, gone too soon — are framed in our signature circular motifs, symbolising unity, memory, and the ongoing fight to protect and uplift South African women.
At the centre of the piece is a bold zebra-inspired print — representing individuality, visibility, and the wild, uncontainable spirit of women who refuse to be erased. The silhouette itself is commanding: an off-shoulder, high-low statement dress that drapes with softness but carries deep emotional weight. Styled with Lerato’s signature street sensibility — grounded in sneakers — the look becomes a reminder that protest is not always loud, but it is always present.
About This Piece:
This garment is a direct tribute to women who have become statistics, hashtags, and rallying cries — but who were, first and foremost, daughters, sisters, mothers, friends. It honours their memory while raising urgent awareness.
All images used in the print were supplied by Women for Change, with consent where possible, to help turn memory into movement and grief into action.
