The 29-year-old designer, who is arguably one of the most in-demand fashion designers in SA, is opening his first store Tomi R in Houghton Estate, Johannesburg, after nine tough but fruitful years in the industry.
Rikhotso, who was born in Soweto, said his mom is a dressmaker and his first skills were taught by her. He went to a technical high school, where he learned a lot of practical skills but thought he would pursue a civil engineering degree after high school.“My mom is a dressmaker, so I learned to sew from a young age. The passion grew from there. I grew up not having friends. She is the one who taught me how to use a sewing machine,” he said.
