Today as we celebrate #FashionFriday we look at the life of a young fashion designer Nqobile Mahlangu the brains behind the fashion label Fine Thread Designs. The 20 years old Nqoe who resides at Entumbane felt the need to start his own label as it has always been one of his dreams to one day be a Fashion Guru. His passion for fashion from a very young age drove him into teaching himself how to sew.
For him to then create his label he got motivated by seeing a young designer Siyabonga Ntini who is very passionate about his work, going through a fashion designers competition Raw Silk and being crowned the best. This got him questioning himself that if Siyabonga could do it then why can’t he. So through the support he’s been receiving from his family and friends he got the courage to face his fears and work on his dreams.
As a young person living in a country like Zimbabwe it’s very hard to find capital to fund projects but with all the passion that Nqoe has, he’s willing to face the challenges. Accessing materials and other requirements is also the other issue affecting him but as a hustler he tries to work with what he has to get what he wants. As an infant in the industry Nqoe‘s main goals are to grow his skills, be able to make amazing clothes, run his own fashion house and be an inspiration to other people out there.
So According to me #StewieLeSavage it doesn’t matter how old you are, the amount you have and whether you went to college for it or not. Face your fears and turn your dreams into reality.
