She’s a woman who has made many sacrifices for the success of her business. “On the 13th of February 2017, I made the bold decision to resign from my 9-5 corporate career as a fashion buyer to chase my dreams. I resigned from the lavish comfort of one leading fashion retailers and set up my own design studio in the garage at home. It wasn’t glamorous, far from comfort, but I knew I wanted more for myself and for my future, I wanted to become the best version of myself possible.”Mashilo explained on the company’s website.
