The Luxurious Marble Circus and TSHEPO unveil The Kingmaster
Where Fantasy Meets Heritage and Legacy Wears a Crown
The Luxurious Marble Circus and South African denim house TSHEPO have woven their wonderful worlds together in a collaboration that reimagines luxury as both playful and purposeful.
As a Legacy and merchandise partner, TSHEPO has united with The Luxurious Marble Circus to curate a collection that is as meaningful as it is beautiful, with artistry, craftsmanship, and purpose at its core. Bringing a fashionable twist to the LMC Legacy initiative, this fantastical fusion delivers a creation that is both impactful and inspiring, offering wearers a chance to be completely themselves for a good reason.
At the heart of this shared story is The Kingmaster: the central figure of the collection and the embodiment of both brands’ spirits. He is part of TSHEPO’s King of Denim, crowned in heritage and storytelling, and part of The Luxurious Marble Circus’s Ringmaster of the Surreal, guiding us through a world where identity, imagination, and artistry thrive. Anchored by this character, the collection comes alive through a cast of imagined archetypes. These include the Leopard, a symbol of agility and power, and circus-themed shapes that celebrate the theatre, whimsy, and magic of the fantastical festival.
“The Kingmaster is not just a figure; it is a reflection of the wearer,” says Tshepo Mohlala, founder of TSHEPO. “Our designs embody the Crowntortionist: someone who bends tradition, stretches imagination, and wears their crown in their own way, while still remembering where they came from and how they got there.”
In its ready-to-wear range, The Kingmaster brings effortless playfulness to everyday self-expression, while a couture collection speaks to high fashion and handmade artistry. Designed by emerging talent, Naledi Dlamini, the Atelier range is a legacy piece in itself, not only offering the young designer the tutelage of Tshepo, but also providing a platform to debut a range to an amazing audience at The Luxurious Marble Circus.
As one of the many valued Legacy partners, this initiative aims to make a meaningful difference wherever The Luxurious Marble Circus plays. "The festival owes its magic to our glorious guests and how they show up," explains Greg Walsh, owner of G&G – The Goosebumps Company. "This year, we've been inspired by the unique style and spirit of our attendees, embracing the fashionable characters they become and introducing another unexpected element into our world of wonder.”
During festival weekend, the Kingmaster collection will be available for sale at The Emporium, a fashion boutique of splendour and surprise. It is here that guests will find exclusive Luxurious Marble Circus apparel, artistry, and accessories, including sustainable treasures from Legacy partner Sealand.
Prior to the event, this exclusive range can also be purchased in the TSHEPO stores (Hyde Park and Sandton City) as well as online at www.tshepo.shop.
