The Foschini x RICH MNISI limited-edition capsule collection is a multi-generational ode to memory and culture, as the retail chain celebrates its centenary and the South African designer marks 10 years.

“As Foschini celebrates 100 years, collaborating with Rich Mnisi at his 10-year milestone creates a natural synergy,” says Robyn Wenlock, Foschini Managing Director, Ladies Fashion & Beauty Stack. “Together, we honour women, connect heritage to the future, and reaffirm our commitment to making exceptional design accessible to all South Africans.”

“Women have always been my starting point,” adds Rich Mnisi. “This collection is a love letter to them, to the resilience woven into their wardrobes. And when I think of the legacy of dressing women for 100 years and 10 years for us, I just think of how inspiring the silent resilience and power that women hold and how generational it is. I also think of my mother.”

For the designer, the creative process began with feeling rather than form. “The first reference I pulled when designing the Foschini auction collection was definitely the feeling of nostalgia,” he explains. “I thought of just my grandmother walking in Sophiatown. I thought of pleats, blouses, silks – just a very chilled elevated look with a lot of print. That whole aesthetic and vibe really did influence a lot of the collection.”

The limited-edition capsule reimagines Rich Mnisi’s most iconic design signatures as versatile pieces for the contemporary woman:

• Signature dresses that merge archival influence with modern silhouettes.
• Tailored separates and soft knits bringing luxury into everyday life.
• Statement prints and wrap silhouettes inspired by family gatherings, first dances, and quiet acts of resilience
• Accessories as final flourishes – subtle yet powerful tributes to intention.

Each piece carries RICH MNISI’s recognisable bold prints and sculptural approach, now accessible through Foschini’s reach and price point.

The Foschini x RICH MNISI capsule collection launches in selected Foschini stores and online on Bash.com on 9 October 2025. shop.richmnisi.com | bash.com/foschini
