Blending inconspicuously into the affluent suburb of Dunkeld, Johannesburg North, the stylish enclave perfectly nestled between Rosebank, Melrose, and Hyde Park, has just welcomed a remarkable new resident at 52 Bompas Road. This leafy, modern locale now boasts the presence of Thebe Magugu, the sought-after fashion designer renowned for dressing some of the world’s most influential figures.
Magugu, whose fashion creations have graced the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Burna Boy, Grace Jones, Issa Rae, Halle Bailey, Golda Rosheuvel, Tessa Thompson, and Thuso Mbedu, has established his latest creative sanctuary: Magugu House. This chic residence is not just a home but a testament to his sartorial genius and an embodiment of his unique artistic vision.
The buzz around Magugu House reached new heights when acclaimed actress Lupita Nyong’o made a special visit. Thebe Magugu shared this delightful news with his followers, posting pictures of himself with the radiant Lupita. She arrived at Magugu House donning the Thebe Magugu Heirloom Blouse, a piece with deep personal significance. The blouse is emblazoned with images of her grandmother, Dora Owino Amolo, adding a sentimental touch to its striking design.
In his post, Thebe Magugu expressed his joy, captioning the photos with, “Our dear Lupita Nyong’o (@lupitanyongo) today at Magugu House – radiant as always! Lupita arrived in the Thebe Magugu Heirloom Blouse that has images of her grandmother – Dora Owino Amolo – emblazoned onto it.”
Magugu House is set to become a beacon of fashion excellence and creativity in Johannesburg, drawing in luminaries and fashion enthusiasts alike.
