The BAM Collective GRAPHISM 25/26 represents a defining moment as the brand unveils its first-ever solo runway show. On 25 October 2025, at the architecturally striking Studio Aether in Randburg, Johannesburg, the brand will debut this daring new collection that boldly reimagines the brand’s signature codes with fearless vitality.
BAM Collective GRAPHISM 25/26: A Fashion Manifesto
‘GRAPHISM 25/26’ transcends the boundaries of a typical collection; instead, it serves as a powerful manifesto. Furthermore, it presents a vivid exploration of the distinctive iconography, shapes, and motifs that have made BAM a cult name internationally, while simultaneously redefining these elements for the brand’s bold new era.
Moreover, fashion enthusiasts can expect saturated colours and experimental silhouettes spliced with lacquered fabrics that catch the light like liquid metal. Additionally, the collection features fringe that shimmers with movement, daring chiffons that float with determined ease, and unconventionally draped and sculpted jacquard denim. Ultimately, this represents fashion as performance, identity, and unapologetic expression.
The Creative Vision Behind GRAPHISM 25/26
“GRAPHISM is about looking back to propel forward. It’s our DNA, our brand’s history, dissected, reworked, and rebuilt into something electrifying and new. Furthermore, it’s a collection inspired by, and made for, our most loyal followers – those individuals who dream, disrupt, and deeply believe in the art of South African fashion.”
~ Jacques Bam, Creative Director of The BAM Collective
BAM Collective Partners with Temper Studio
The collection will additionally mark the brand’s first confectionery collaboration, in partnership with Temper Studio, a freshly established online bakery that specialises in elevating special moments with a range of boldly designed cookies. Consequently, the collaboration will see the two companies partner to create a range of limited edition cookies, inspired by the GRAPHISM collection, to debut at the event.
Moreover, this collaborative range will become available to the public on The Temper Studio website following their online launch on 25 October 2025 and will be sold online throughout the month of November.

This milestone show underscores The BAM Collective’s uncompromising commitment to celebrating South African design while simultaneously honouring the community of collaborators, consumers, and media who have championed its rise. Furthermore, the event serves as a testament to growth, both for the brand and the industry, which continues to shape South Africa’s creative future.
