Representing South Africa is Luke Radloff showcasing his Johannesburg based clothing brand UNI FORM. Radloff fuses his locally trained skills with his “experience of luxury European brand communication”. With his vast knowledge and experience in retail, design, production and creative direction, he brought UNI FORM to life. The brand is inspired by the City of Johannesburg, fusing the contemporary with the known, conveying that into high quality and trans-seasonal contemporary silhouettes. Radloff’s goal for UNI FORM is for it to transcend the status quo of what the African design industry has to offer to that of major fashion capitals such as Milan, New York, Paris and London.
