NIVEA Black & White has partnered with Lindani Styling as founder Lindani Ndwandwa celebrates 15 years in fashion, a journey shaped by growth, self-expression and the courage to be seen on his own terms.
There is an immediate creative connection between NIVEABlack & White and Lindani’s expression of fashion through black and white, but the partnership goes beyond clothing. As Lindani marks 15 years in the industry, his journey reflects the growth, self-belief and personal expression at the heart of Own Your Moment.
“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 partnership forms part of NIVEA Black & White’s Own Your Moment campaign, which celebrates the confidence to step forward authentically. Because before every big moment, there is the part nobody sees: the preparation, the unseen effort, the nerves and the decision to keep going. These are the moments in which confidence is built, often away from the cameras and the attention.
“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 is brought to life in a hero film featuring NIVEABlack & White creators Sishi, Chad, CJ, FreshByCaddy and Sphokuhle N. In the film, the creators reflect on the experiences that have shaped them, the work that happens away from public view and what owning their moment means in their own lives. Their personal stories show that confidence looks and feels different for everyone.
NIVEA Black & White helps take care of the everyday concerns that can distract people from feeling confident. The range combines 72-hour sweat and odour protection with anti-stain protection that helps guard black clothing against white marks and white clothing against yellow stains. Its new fragrance collection adds freshness and scent to the preparation ritual, helping people feel protected 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.
Through 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, while celebrating Lindani’s 15-year journey and the confidence to step into what comes next.
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.
