SAFW AW23 COLLECTIONS | ESSIE APPAREL BY ENHLE MBALI

Beginning her journey with fashion from a young age, Enhle Mbali dreamed of creating garments that reflected her sense of style and place in the creative world. She found that she had a good eye artistically and stylistically and would cut up her clothes and stitch them together by hand with people not being able to tell that they had been hand stitched. In 2015, to provide fashionable, yet comfortable clothing for mothers-to-be, Enhle launched her maternity wear range, in South Africa and New York – a collection which sold out within weeks. Enhle Mbali’s AW23 Essie collection takes its cue from the edgy globetrotter and international jetsetter. Simple, yet exciting, fashion-forward silhouettes imagine new frontiers and are infused with her ethos of “keep moving forward to push boundaries, never stop.” The collection combines an evolution of emotional experiences, travel, and an innate passion for the arts.
