It inspired me to want to step into the world of fashion. Sello Medupe: My earliest inspiration was seeing a singular fashion illustration for the first time when I was in high school. I like to take a look back and recreate those fashion looks to build my collections.

September is known for many things: returning to school, the last days of summer and New York Fashion Week.
