South African streetwear label GALXBOY has been making serious waves, and 2025 is shaping up to be another big year. Founded by Thatiso Dube in 2008, the brand was built with a vision—streetwear by the youth, for the youth. Since then, it’s grown into a cultural force, blending fashion, music, and lifestyle into a movement that keeps pushing boundaries.
The founder and head designer of Galxboy Thatiso Dube recalls when he had to shut down his business because it was not doing well and had to find it in him to continue makng designs even though he was out of business. Dube always had faith in his business to grow and never stopped believing and had a vision in mind that the business will grow. Galxboy is a South African local clothing brand which is now well established and employs more than 140 young members.
Looking Back at 2024: A Year of Growth
Last year, GALXBOY expanded its footprint with new stores, must-have collections, and headline-making collaborations. With every drop, the brand reinforced its influence on the local streetwear scene, proving that it’s more than just clothing—it’s a lifestyle.
What’s Next for 2025?
This year, GALXBOY is taking things up a notch with fresh collections, exciting collabs, and brand-new retail spaces. The highly anticipated jewellery collection—including bold new bracelets—kicked off the year in January, adding a new dimension to the brand’s signature aesthetic.
The latest GALXBOY T-shirt collection is officially live and available online, featuring a mix of fresh designs and classic staples for fans to get their hands on.
Expanding the Movement: New Stores Incoming
With growing demand, GALXBOY is bringing its unique style to more locations across South Africa. February sees the opening of a new store at Boardwalk Mall in Gqeberha, followed by another at East Rand Mall in April. Each space is designed to immerse shoppers in the full GALXBOY experience, reflecting the brand’s evolution while staying true to its roots.
