Can you witness her love for African fashion yet? Anyways, Among some of the designs she showcased thousands of followers on her blog were designs from South African artists Laduma Ngxokolo‚ who is known for his Xhosa-inspired knitwear.

The designer launched his label in 2011 with a desire to explore knitwear design that would be suitable for the amakrwala (Xhosa initiates) traditional dress. @MAXHOSA featured by @Beyonce in her blog yesterday, after visiting the exhibition @cooperhewitt. @katebomz ?? A photo posted by Laduma 'elamaMpondo' Ngxokolo (@laduma) on Apr 9, 2016 at 5:40am PDT Laduma says he “felt that he needed to develop a premium knitwear range that celebrates traditional Xhosa beadwork aesthetics, using South African mohair and wool”. So do keep your eyes out for any further success and don’t be surprised if soon he becomes one of the lag bearers for African fashion.
