At the intersection of minimalism and meaning, The Blank Collection is the brainchild of visionary designer Fulu Rathumbu. Rooted in South African street culture and refined by an ethos of intentional simplicity, the brand strips fashion down to its raw, expressive core—championing identity, innovation, and storytelling through every stitch. From understated silhouettes to bold cultural references, The Blank Collection challenges designers to see the runway as a blank canvas—ready to be disrupted, reimagined, and rewritten. As the creative mentor for this year’s Monkey Shoulder Street Thread Battle, Fulu invites emerging talents to bring their boldest ideas to life and make their mark on the streets of Johannesburg and beyond.
