THE STORY BEHIND THE BRAND

Czene 24 was established in 2019 and was founded by Calvin Lunga Cebekhulu. Calvin is a fashion graduate from the Tshwane University of Technology. “Czene.24 is a gender-neutral, urban, and contemporary street-style clothing brand that believes in creating a gender-free environment. Czene.24 contributes to sustainability, longevity, and diversity.” 

A Deeper Look Into Czene.24 

The urban street style inspires Czene.24’s aesthetic and strives to bring new adaptable streetwear garments to the scene. Their goal as a brand is to uphold the brand’s aesthetic of gender neutrality. “The whole reason I started my brand was to breach a gap in the retail market to create a safe gender-free environment,” says Calvin. 

“I had the privilege of showcasing my work at the African Fashion International (AFL) in 2018 where I showcased my Imminent Disaster (2018/1019) Fall Collection. Furthermore, my womenswear collection Wear Me with Kindness, I am Your Kindness was showcased at the South African Fashion Week in 2022. I had the privilege of being one of the finalists at the SAFW ’23 for the third time, where I showcased my collection I Am A Cage In A Common Place.”
