South African rapper K.O is making waves not just in the music industry but also in the fashion world. As the head of Swave, a multipurpose store that houses his Skhanda World clothing line, K.O is redefining streetwear culture. Swave, which also features a sneaker laundry, a juice bar, and even their own branded ice cream, has quickly become a must-visit destination since its launch last December.
Swave’s rise to prominence is a testament to the growing influence of streetwear in global fashion, and Skhanda World has become a go-to brand, particularly in Johannesburg’s affluent areas. Recently, K.O’s brand made headlines once again with a highly anticipated collaboration with Studio88, bringing the Skhanda World SS24 collection to the forefront of fashion.
Described as a collection featuring “bold tones, dope fits, and the cleanest silhouettes,” the SS24 launch did not disappoint. The event, which included a vibrant fashion show, showcased an array of exciting pieces that cater to the whole family, including kids. Taking to Instagram, the ‘SETE’ hitmaker shared his excitement and a glimpse of the launch, which was filled with style, energy, and a strong sense of community.
“A time was had izolo. @skhandaworld SS24 Collection is for the whole family! Available now @studio88_branded outlets countrywide,” K.O posted, capturing the essence of the event. He also gave a shoutout to the “Friends & Family that showed up and spread love” at the fashion show, expressing his gratitude for the overwhelming support.
The Studio 88 x Skhanda World fashion show has already been hailed as a major success, with K.O proudly stating, “The Studio 88 x Skhanda World SS24 fashion show launch hit the runway and did not disappoint! Bold tones, dope fits and the cleanest silhouettes. Only heat was served.”
The launch was attended by influential celebrities, including rapper Nadia Nakai, MC Moozlie, podcaster L-Tido, and DJ Sabby, further cementing Skhanda World’s place as a trendsetting brand in South African fashion. As K.O continues to expand his brand, it’s clear that Skhanda World is not just a clothing line, but a cultural movement that is here to stay.
