In Conversation with Mkhetwa Baloyi

Mkhetwa Baloyi is a visual and editorial fashion journalist from
Limpopo, South Africa, whose work reshapes how the world
experiences African fashion. Beginning his creative journey in
beauty and fashion photography, his eye for light, texture, and
visual language evolved into video-led storytelling — his primary
medium today. Through his platform de mode journaliste,
Mkhetwa documents South African fashion narratives with depth
and permanence, covering runway shows, designer profiles,
brand storytelling, fashion films, and magazine critiques. His
standout projects include founding the SA Runway Archives,
directing the Nos Companies Doberman Jacket campaign, and
contributing to publications like The Grey Zine (UK) and Colour
Theory Magazine. From platforming Siyababa Atelier’s viral red
dress at SA Menswear Week 2025 to producing insightful
breakdowns of mmusoMaxwell’s redefined workwear codes,
Mkhetwa curates, contextualizes, and archives fashion moments
beyond surface-level reporting. Where most journalists write, he
films — transforming fashion coverage into cultural memory.
