I studied with Mpumelelo Dhlamini at the Spero Villioti Elite Design Academy and I remember in our second year he won the most improved award and I knew after that moment that great things were waiting ahead for him. In our 3rd year he produced a collection fit for an African Queen. Using leather, steel wool and washers he not only created a couture collection that stood out but he stood out loud and proud showing the fashion world that simple house hold items can be high fashion.
