GALXBOY
        GALXBOY, a South African streetwear
        brand, is deeply intertwined with the
        vibrant and rebellious youth street
        culture that thrives in the urban
        centres of Mzansi. Conceived by
        Thatiso Dube, who also serves as the
        head designer, GALXBOY was born
        in 2008 out of a recognition of the
        need for a brand that truly speaks
        to the youth, particularly Millennials
        and Generation Z. This connection
        to the youth is the driving force
        behind GALXBOY’s specialisation in
        the design, manufacturing, and retail
        of streetwear fashion apparel and
        accessories.
