TV personality Boity Thulo has debunked assumptions that Sissy Boy is
made for 'skinny' women. In fact Boity herself admitted that the local
fashion brand was previously seen as a brand for "white women" as the
clothes did not celebrate African women's curves.
Well, Boity wants to completely debunk this stereotype with her range.
"I know that Sissyboy was seen as a white brand and I wanted to bring
in that different taste that I know my followers will like, and made
sure that it works for my body. The real body," Boity said.
Speaking to TMG Entertainment Boity elaborated on the sentiment saying
that she definitely isn't 'skinny' and that her range is for women
with similar body types.
Boity explained that she had the 'African curves' in mind when she was
creating her range.
"I wanted to capture authenticity, to create a line that is
comfortable and also make sure that there is timelessness. Because I
know that I want to buy something that I can wear over and over
again," she explained.
Boity went on to explain that her favourite item of clothing in her
range is the Own Your Throne t-shirt.
The fashionista said that she came up with the saying during a
difficult time in her life, and when her "real journey" started.
"You have your own throne, you don't have to fight for someone else's
and you don't have to look at someone else's, because you have your
own throne. And when I realised that and started embracing that, thats
when my true journey started and this is the realest I've ever been. "
