Entrepreneur and fashionista Kumari Govender on courage, secret indulgences, and high heels.

My fashion obsession… was sparked by my mother, who used to make exquisite dresses and wedding gowns and, while growing up, my cupboard was full of bespoke pieces that I’d designed and my mom made. My dad fostered my love for the arts and encouraged me to express my creativity – thanks to him, I’m never without a sketch book.
