2024

The 2024 edition, which coincided with Mount Nelson's 125th anniversary, took place 5–9 November 2024. Each of the first four days of CxC featured one designer a day for an intimate fashion experience that sprawled across Mount Nelson’s lavish lounge, terrace and gardens.

2024's line-up included two South African designers: LVMH Prize winner and 2023 Amiri Prize winner Lukhanyo Mdingi, who blends artisanal craft with modernity; and Johannesburg-based designer RICH MNISI, known for his bold expression of Tsonga culture and craftsmanship.

Joining them were Nigerian-based designers Bubu Ogisi of IAMISIGO, known as a 'fibre artist' for wearable art that brings ancient African textile techniques to the fore, and 2023 International Woolmark Prize winner, Adeju Thompson of Lagos Space Programme, who explores the past and future through sartorial expressions of their Yoruba culture.
