Enhle owes much of her success to the support and nurturing that she received from those around her, and her brand that’s inspired by African culture and everyday life.
“Nigerian fashion is the fashion culture I like the most, because they are happy, colourful and vibrant,” says the young designer.
We had the privilege of meeting her little brother Njabulo, who too is a big fan of her clothing range. “I like my sister’s clothes because it’s comfortable, nice, colourful and you can wear it anywhere.”
Moving to Durban last year, she began attending Josephine Makanye Primary Sport School of Excellence. The school quickly noticed her talents and helped her create a platform to further her design skills – including designing the Grade 7 Class jackets, and the pedestal patrol team reflector jackets. Enhle was also bestowed the unique honour of creating a new uniform for herself and her peers to wear proudly at the school.
“When she came to the school she realised our uniform wasn’t unique, because everywhere you went, it was there in our district and our circuit, provincially and nationally. So she created our beautiful uniform with our school colours, which is red, white and navy. It looks beautiful and matches so nicely with the school jacket and socks,” comments Zama Makhanya, Principal of Josephine Makhanya Primary Sport School of Excellence.
