GALXBOY Streetwear
22 year old student and designer Thatiso “Vuittots” Dube has
been causing ripples in the South African youth fashion and streetwear industry
with his label GALXBOY, pronounced “Galaxy Boy” or “Girll ex Boy”.
GALXBOY has come a long way since its establishment in 2008.
Inspired by the success of the popular South African streetwear brand
AmaKipKip, Vuittots started a t-shirt brand called “Cheeseboy”.
However, Vuitotts decided not to give up on his passion, and
soon he re-launched his label with the revised name “CheeseGalxBoy”, which
later evolved to “GALXBOY”, a name that Vuittots feels appeals to a broader
market across borders and age groups.
Vuittots describes his street wear brand as an embodiment of
“what girls do because of boys and what boys do because of girls” and designs
his clothing to suit men and women of all ages and races who are not afraid to
be fashionably eclectic and experimental.
