Tshepo Mohlala, founder of Tshepo Jeans, poses for a photograph at his workshop in Johannesburg on January 30, 2024. Growing up in a rough township outside Johannesburg, Tshepo Mohlala was mocked for wearing skinny jeans before they were popular.
More than a decade later, ridicule has turned into admiration as the 32-year-old is now a successful fashion designer making denims praised by global celebrities including Beyonce and Meghan Markle. (Photo by OLYMPIA DE MAISMONT / AFP)
