The Soweto-born designer has previously worked with the organisation to create gowns for Lalela Mswane and Shudufhadzo Musida.
After my dream of becoming a professional football player failed due to a knee injury, I had to look for something else to do. I began a process of introspection and thought of all the skills that I had. I was never interested in fashion at first but I used to take my sister’s clothes and rework them into something I could wear, not realising I was developing a skill.
My friends started complimenting me for my sense of style and they suggested I try my hand at fashion design. I then started doing my research and began attending several fashion week events. This is where I met key people who helped me find my feet in the industry such as veteran designers Ole Ledimo of House of Ole, who is someone I look up to, and style consultant Brian Lehang.
I can’t reveal or describe how the gowns look, but I assure you that you’ll be blown away. I pushed the fashion boundaries with these gowns; they’re not something I’ve never done beforeI don’t necessarily zone into a specific thing to spark my creativity but the evolving trends of the fashion industry and keeping ahead is mainly my muse. Also being proudly African and our heritage as black people is what often inspires me.It’s my way of finding individuality.
