He is known for his admired trousers worn by almost every young man around Bolobedu. He is a third-year student at Lisof in Pretoria.
‘’I started designing at a very young age, I remember wearing clothes that had cartoons shown on television and that is how I started knowing more about fashion and dressing up,’’ Says the young designer.
According to Emanuel Sylvester as he is affectionally known in the fashion circles , a fashion designer is mostly a woman’s job but he decided to follow his heart when choosing a career that he’s passionate about. He says all he wanted was to pursue his dream.
