NIVEA Black & White has partnered with Lindani Styling, as founder Lindani Ndwandwa celebrates 15 years in fashion, a journey defined by growth, self-expression and the confidence to be seen on his own terms.
The connection between NIVEA Black & White and Lindani’s signature use of black and white is immediate, but the partnership goes beyond the clothes. As he marks 15 years in the industry, Lindani’s journey reflects the growth, self-belief and personal expression at the heart of the brand’s Own Your Moment campaign.
“For me, styling has always been about more than creating a look. It is about understanding who someone is and helping them feel confident in how they show up,” says Lindani Ndwandwa. “Fifteen years later, I am proud of how far I have come, but I am even more excited about where I am going.”
The collaboration forms part of NIVEA Black & White’s Own Your Moment campaign, which celebrates the confidence to step forward authentically. Because before every big moment comes the part nobody sees: the preparation, the work, the nerves and the decision to keep going. These unseen moments are often where confidence is built.
“Confidence does not suddenly appear when someone steps into the room. It is built in all the small, unseen moments that come before it,” says Yolanda Katsha, Brand Manager at Beiersdorf. “Own Your Moment recognises that journey and helps people feel protected, prepared and ready to show up as themselves.”
The campaign comes to life through a hero film featuring NIVEA Black & White creators Sishi, Chad, CJ, FreshByCaddy and Sphokuhle N. The film explores the experiences that shaped them, the work that happens away from the spotlight and what owning their moment means in their individual lives. Together, their stories highlight a simple truth: confidence looks and feels different for everyone. NIVEA Black & White is designed to take care of the everyday concerns that can get in the way of feeling confident. The range offers 72-hour sweat and odour protection, alongside anti-stain protection designed to help guard black clothing against white marks and white clothing against yellow stains. The new fragrance collection adds freshness and scent to the daily preparation ritual, helping people feel protected, prepared and ready to step out.
On 3 October 2026, the Lindani Styling x NIVEA Black & White: Black & White Meets Summer fashion experience will bring the partnership to life in Johannesburg. Blending fashion, music and storytelling, the experience will move from the timeless confidence of black and white into the colour, energy and self-expression of summer. It will also celebrate Lindani’s 15-year journey while looking ahead to the next chapter.
Because the moment may belong to the world, but the confidence to step into it begins with you. NIVEA Black & White helps you step forward with confidence. Own Your Moment.
