She says that she’s always been heavily inspired by the pieces prevalent in the nineties. “I make my husband watch runway shows with me,” she says with a laugh. Versace and Christian Dior’s collections are her favourites from the time period, as are the ‘supers’ Naomi Campbell, Yasmeen Ghauri and Tyra Banks. “I don’t have the right words to describe it,” Wavomba says of her devotion to the decade and its fashion icons. “It transports you into this time where women were like goddesses.

But Wavomba’s drive doesn’t solely rely on sourcing garments and accessories that speak to her love of style from eras past; she’s also committed to using Mode de Mit as a transformative shopping experience in every possible way. For example, she uses compostable packaging to ship pieces she’s sold. “It’s important for me to monitor the carbon footprint of the store,” she says. “Whatever way I get [an item] to my customer, I want to make sure it’s not just being thrown into bins.

She’s also keenly aware of the negative societal impact of fashion, addressing the fact that “fast fashion garment workers are disproportionately women of colour; they earn peanuts for the work that they do.
