Featuring some urban safari looks, Mlotshwa’s AW23 collection was a combination of emotional experiences, travel, and an innate passion for the arts.
Most of us know her as an actress but Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa is a woman of many talents.
The mother of two is also a fashion designer owning clothing label Essie Apparel.
Now that we’re nearing the fashion week's season in South Africa, Mlotshwa took us down memory lane by sharing a behind the scenes video of preparations for her previous AW collection, which debuted at South African Fashion Week.
Featuring some urban safari looks, Mlotshwa’s AW23 collection was a combination of emotional experiences, travel, and an innate passion for the arts.
“AW23 Essie collection takes its cue from the edgy globetrotter and international jet setter. Simple, yet exciting, fashion-forward silhouettes imagine new frontiers and are infused with her ethos of ‘keep moving forward to push boundaries, never stop,’” reported SAFW.
Following a successful fashion show at SAFW in October last year, Enhle launched a bodysuit in December last year, covered in words allegedly said to her by her estranged husband Nkosinathi Maphumulo, better known as Black Coffee.
The bodysuit was launched to commemorate 16 Days of Activism Against Women and Children Abuse.
“In the voice of women: my body is my greatest form of protest, as I am not owned !!! It is beautiful in every form, and you cannot tell me what to do with it, or what I have to wear for it to make you comfortable, your abusive nature is not welcome here.
“I am a being as you are, worthy of respect, as you are, worthy of truth as you are, worthy of protection as the universe intends. I may be covered in your harsh words, lies, wounds, and so much more. Here I am, I stand tall in my delicate strength because I AM WOMEN!!!”
