SA designer Tshepo Mohlala, better known as Tshepo the Jean Maker, bagged two gongs at the Youth-Owned Brand Awards – Overall Top Brand and Top Apparel Brand – and he's thrilled to be recognised. | YouMagazine
“She’s the realest person I’ve met. She walks into a space and is such a warm person and everyone wants to interact with [her].”
The designer studied fashion design at the University of Johannesburg but had to drop out due to financial constraints.“I went from couch surfing to having the Duchess of Sussex wearing my brand, and for me that's just incredible on its own,” he says. Tshepo is inspired by three women in his life – his mother, grandmother and aunt – and he wants his jeans to be a vehicle to restore hope.
“I started this brand because I wanted to tell a story and there’s so much a pair of jeans can tell you about someone, which is exactly what we strive for at Tshepo Jeans.”In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
