Maxhosa Africa continues to put the country on the global map with their unique African designs.
Owned by Laduma Ngxokolo, Maxhosa Africa, is a luxury knitwear brand inspired by the Xhosa culture.
Now their showstopper designs are featured in “Coming 2 America" where the cast dons some of Maxhosa wear. The film releases in March.
Taking to Instagram, Ngxokolo shared the trailer of the film with his 145K followers, where the cast are dressed in his garments.
He wrote: “Greetings @zamundaroyals, Here is the official trailer of #Coming2America, airing this March on @amazonprimevideo. Set in the lush country of Zamunda, newly-crowned King Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his trusted confidante Semmi (Arsenio Hall) embark on an all-new. hilarious adventure. Get ready for their travels from the great African nation to the borough of Queens, New York – where it all began. See you on the 5th!”
About working on “Coming 2 America,” Ngxokolo said: “Got a call from the QUEEN of costume design @therealruthecarter in 2019 to co-work with her on a few @MaXhosaAfrica pieces for the Coming 2 America film, the rest was history and history was made. My team and I enjoyed every minute of working on this project.”
The film not only explores Africa, it also features South Africa’s very own Nubian princess, Nomzamo Mbatha, who moved to the United States to further her acting career.
South Africans are happy to see their own taking up space on a global platform. Below are some of the best reactions.
