Hello Lovings!
A big fabulous air hug from TheFashionPoet in the month of love! ;)
About a month or two ago I discovered a phenomenal woman in the world of fashion,pure Motswana at that..can it get any better? A friend of mine had always been a die hard fan of her work under GatshFros in partnership with Gaone Mothibi but it wasn't till I was dazzled by her Instagram account that I fell in absolute love. She's an unstoppable ball of fire, a defined and distinguished fashion soul,driven and determined whilst her destiny remains as much a mystery as her inimitable fashion sense,she's Tsholo Dikobe!
Style
At first sight,you are struck by her big deal of natural hair that screams "welcome to Africa".The magnificent combo of her medium thick curvy contoured body and her sun kissed face ooze confidence.Although she could remind you of Solange Knowles in her famed miss and match ensembles,not to mention the hair,Tsholo's fashion sense is branded TSHOLO and I'm yet to see another her. My poetic skills are put to test when I try describe or define her style but to mention the least,this woman dresses from the heart.A believer in fashion pieces borrowed from our mothers' years,Tsholo gives vintage a whole new meaning from colourful intricately printed materials to soft modern vogue looks.She understands the necessity to move with the times but isn't afraid to throw in what the rest of the world would deem unattractive to complete and fulfil her individual style,two words; fashion forward!
Achievements
Brace yourselves hunnies coz this lady is a load more than what meets the eye.She is the co-founder of the duo GatshFro's;Facebook fashion sensations turned columnists in TheVoiceBotswana..She's A rising fashion consultant and stylist,handpicked to attend the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week hosted in the capital of Germany where she rubbed shoulders with world icons such as Alek Wek.She's been featured in numerous magazines outside Botswana including ELLE mag,Natura Magazine, Glowing Colours and the renowned True Love!Also a fashiondailybomb nominee for her astounding style.

Most recently, Tsholo has made her family,friends,fans and the nation at large proud by landing a spread in a brand new International magazine named NEW AFRICAN WOMAN (a world wide distributed UK magazine) in which movie star Lupita N'yongo is featured. Tsholo is featured under the heading "the rising stars" and that's exactly what she is.It has become very apparent that she's going places.
Its far beyond an honour to write about such a young inspirational being.My note to Tsholo:
You live my motto,"Big dreamer,Strong believer,Aspiring Achiever" and because of that you are another reason I am assured that no matter how big my dreams are, they are attainable.Your style,your posts,your words,on a daily from your instagram and otherwise you teach me and many others to be true to ourselves.Above all,your humility and your understanding of the saying "Motho ke motho ka batho" in coincidence with one of your blog post titles "I Am Because We Are" is simply priceless.Keep shining and rising!
