I care deeply about people, but fashion is my passion, it's who I was meant to be'. She officially started the TFP ready-to-wear label in 2008, and since then, she has not looked back. She started the TFP training school April 2011 and has trained over 50 fashion designers who are starting to storm the fashion world.
