Lorde Ndlumbini, a 23-year-old designer hailing from Khayelitsha, has launched a commercial collection with Pick n Pay Clothing under his label, House of Lordes.
Ndlumbini's journey started in high school as he sought to express his individuality through fashion, and now his work has reached a wider audience through this significant collaboration.
Ndlumbinis passion for fashion was ignited by his mother, whose keen eye for style instilled in him the importance of dressing well. I was really into video games as escapism when I was around 13, he recalled.
My mother taught me the importance of individuality and self-expression through clothing, he shared.
It was around this time that he began experimenting with different bold, eye-catching outfits, leading to a newfound confidence.
