ABOUT

Shepherd Mokgotho is the founder of Taylored Substance, a contemporary brand talking modern fashion through design and craftsmanship.

He has a Higher Certificate in Fashion Design, and his journey into the industry began not as a creator but as an admirer, drawn to the art of fashion design from a young age. For Shepherd, fashion was never just about clothing, it was a language, and a form of self-expression.

Shepard interned at well-known designer Amanda Laird Cherry Apparel and Polo South Africa a premium lifestyle brand known for its equestrian-inspired style. These experiences provided him with industry insight, refining his understanding of design, production, and brand development. 

Founded in 2019, Taylored Substance serves as Shepherd’s creative canvas, merging high fashion with urban influences. Specializing in both menswear and womenswear, the brand offers a dynamic mix of ready-to-wear, conceptual fashion, and bespoke pieces.
