This is my love and life. I believe I was born to do this!

You know the fashion industry is an extremely difficult one to crack! So hang in there, apply yourself and continue to push forward and work hard BUT REMEMBER never let go of your passion or faith in your talent, as it is this that will lead you through many difficult times and take you to the top; AND Always stay true to your design style, no matter how hard it gets as this will allow you to create something unique and special that will undoubtedly be a success. proudly African I have made many mistakes up to this point, things like: not leaving enough time for projects and thus creating so much unnecessary stress; underestimating the time spent on the business side of fashion and the importance of fabric testing etc.! But at the end of the day remember making mistakes is an important part of the learning process! Without mistakes there is no lesson to be learnt and thus no progression and growth! So my advice is embrace your mistakes! There is no use crying over spilt milk! proudly African External links Category: living people Category:Women from South Africa Category:Fashion designers from South Africa Category:1986 births Category:Women born in the 1980s
