South African actress and TV presenter Candice Modiselle is stepping into a new fashion chapter, bringing her personal style, confidence and sense of identity to the forefront with the launch of her highly anticipated Rooted Collection, created in collaboration with fashion designer brand Tol’Thema.
The collection is set to arrive on 1 September 2026, and Candice recently took to Instagram to give her followers a glimpse into the inspiration behind the collaboration. While the collection is rooted in fashion, her message goes beyond simply getting dressed. It speaks to the modern woman navigating different roles, responsibilities and seasons of her life while still wanting to feel like herself.
Introducing the collection, Candice said, “I’m slowing learning that as I evolve that in this somewhat daunting and exciting season of becoming every women, that my style reminding me to catch up. That in between making dinner and making moves that I can make it look effortless. Pieces that move as I move, looks that work as hard as I do, because technically, my style shouldn’t slow me down and neither should you.”
Her words capture the spirit behind The Rooted Collection — clothing designed for a woman who is constantly moving, growing and evolving. Rather than presenting fashion as something separate from everyday life, the collection appears to embrace the idea that style should fit seamlessly into it.
Candice further described the woman at the heart of the collection, saying, “This is for the woman who leads with confidence, loves with intention and shows up.m, even on the ordinary days. So, whether you’re closing deals, collecting the kids, grabbing brunch with the girls or simply stepping out because you deserve too, wear the woman you are and tomorrow wear the woman you’re becoming.”
The collaboration also carries a deeply personal meaning for Candice. Her relationship with Tol’Thema goes beyond this latest fashion project, as she has previously worn one of the brand’s beautiful garments for her traditional wedding. That special moment adds another layer of significance to their partnership, making The Rooted Collection feel like a natural continuation of a relationship that has already been part of an important chapter in her life.
Now, with The Rooted Collection, Candice and Tol’Thema are taking that relationship a step further, transforming their shared appreciation for fashion into a collection that celebrates identity, movement and personal evolution.
