But for couple and business partners, Mphahlela and Thabi Mokgatle, the blend of business and pleasure has been a smooth mix.The pair are founders of fashion label House of Decorum which was established in 2016, but they’ve tried their hand in other business and far back as 2013. The couple has been together for more than 14 years.“So working as a couple isn’t new to us and we have managed to find a good rhythm to our dance. The positive is that we have a common vision.
“This is a great opportunity for us to teach the world about our patterns as South Africans and the rich heritage behind our garments,” averred Mphahlela.“Having attended the Pitti Uomo in Firenze Italy several times over the past eight years, being in Italy truly feels like a second home to us now,” he said.“Our attendance over the years has exposed us to beneficial networking opportunities and inspired our style and fashion choices.
