Young designer on the road to success─── 15:36 Mon, 10 May 2021
A young fashion designer from St Josephs Christian Brothers College (CBC) in Bloemfontein, Chantelle Chimbhunde, tells OFM News that she did not expect to be a finalist in CUT's 2021 Entrepreneurial Matriculant of the Year competition.
Chimbhunde, who won a cash prize of R5000, has an online designer clothing store and designs the clothes herself.
“There is something called a designer app, so I’ll be using these designer apps to create digital versions of my designs. Those will be available on my website for people to purchase,” she says.
Chimbhunde says that she hasn’t officially started making the clothes, but has multiple designs. She says her dream is to turn her designs into real end products and says orders can be made through her website.
