Founded in 2016 by family and friends of the late kwaito superstar, the Lebo Mathosa Foundation, in collaboration with local fashion brand Monday To Monday, have launched a limited-edition T-shirt to celebrate the legacy of the legendary South African artist Lebo Mathosa.
This honorary design features an iconic image of Lebo shot by renowned South African photojournalist Neo Ntsoma during the height of her career. The picture is originally from an unreleased collection of photos that were supposed to be for a 2007 calendar in celebration of Mathosa’s 30th birthday.
Now reimagined through fashion, the images are used to celebrate what would have been her 44th birthday celebration. Presented on a white and black t-shirt, the print is served in monochrome with a powerful image of the singer in her signature blonde hair and bold style.
‘As a testament to the unwavering impact she had on the worlds of both fashion and music, we are super excited about this partnership with Monday to Monday. When their team approached the Foundation about this collaboration, we felt it was a great fit to further celebrate her legacy on her 44th birthday’ said Tebogo Mathosa, founder of the foundation and brother to the late Lebo Mathosa.
The limited-edition t-shirt retails exclusively online for R499 and R599 at montomonday.com.
A large portion of the sales will go to the Lebo Mathosa Foundation for their ongoing activities and operations.
