Скачать или смотреть The Pulse of the City: Naked Ape’s Artisanal Mastery | SAFW SS26

“I love what goes on in the metropolises of African cities.”

The journey of a creative is rarely a straight line. Shaldon Kopman of Naked Ape reflects on his evolution from model to designer, embracing the resilience and hard-won lessons that have continually refined his mastery of design.

Deeply influenced by the chaotic, beautiful clash of cultures within Johannesburg and other African cities, Naked Ape’s SS26 collection is rooted in raw storytelling. Shaldon prioritizes the preservation of artisanal skills, focusing on the practical decadence and the striking simplicity of a perfectly crafted silhouette.

Explore the studio of a designer who turns the narratives of metropolis into sophisticated, euphoric fashion statements.
