“Although I am a shoe lover, I began importing and selling clothes in August 2015. People were so interested in the products that as my business grew my skills as a fashion stylist developed with it.”

Mother and daughter, Tshililo and Muano Sithagu, show off some of the clothes Tshililo sells.

She shares that she loves dressing people and sharing her life testimony with her clients so they can understand where she’s coming from. “It makes me forget about my fragile body and all my problems. Sharing my life with my closest clients feels like therapy,” she said.

Mother and daughter, Muano and Tshililo Sithagu, wear some of the clothes Tshililo sells.

Tshililo explained she imports mainly clothes for women, and some for men, in all sizes. “I love dressing men and women and in the process I also impart some advice on how they can dress to look their best. Dress to suit your figure, for example, if you are plus-sized dress to complement your body and do not force yourself into tight-fitting clothes just to be ‘fashionable’.”

She encourages aspiring fashion stylists to have patience in this industry as you encounter a variety of clients. She added they must always follow their dreams and passions so they can overcome any obstacles in their way.

Tshililo bonds with her daughter, Muano Sithagu.

“I am a go-getter and I’m not afraid of facing challenges. I was very ill from 2013 to 2015 but I still fought hard to start my business. You can do anything if you work hard at it, nothing is an excuse,” she concluded.
