As part of Bombay Sapphire’s Stir Creativity campaign, Laduma went back to the canvas where he painted the origins of Xhosa Art – the constant inspiration behind his decade-old fashion range MAXHOSA. The creative process was filmed in front of a wall that featured every piece of fabric Laduma has ever used in his collections so far. To add a twist to the creative process, the designer was paired with Mmiso, a charming bartender who turned out to be a great catalyst in getting Laduma to open up.
Born and bred in Johannesburg, Mmiso Luphondo is an entrepreneur and bartender who began mixing drinks for his previous company – Until Until group. The mixologist has only been in the game for three years but has already judged at Opihr World Adventure Cocktail Competition, which speaks volumes about his art.
