Enhle Mbali to launch own clothing line

Actress Enhle Mbali has announced that she will be launching her own fashion label later this year. She plans to do this during SA Fashion Week’s Autumn/Winter 2020 runway showcase, which happens in the second half of the year.

“I think this is where I take my giant leap because a lot of people don’t know that I do fashion. I don’t want to give too much away on the clothing I will be making; it’s such a competitive market,” she said.

“But I think it’s going to be something that introduces us to the rest of the world in terms of styling because as Africans we keep it safe and watch what they do internationally first, then follow.”

Enhle first styled musician Keabetswe Motsilanyane when she was 17 years old.

“I’ve always been into fashion. I was a 17-year-old, who styled KB. It was huge for me,” she said. In December, Maphumulo collaborated closely with local couture duo Quiteria & George to create one of Beyoncé’s high-fashion stage looks for her performance in SA.

“I realised that people only recently discovered I have been doing music videos for my husband, but I have been doing it and styling his art covers.”
