Boipearlo's Agent Provocateur

Boipelo Mogase describes her clothing range, Boipearlo Couture, as "daring, colourful, detailed and unique." She has recently been focused on a swimsuit range, aptly titled Agent Provocateur. Real Empress spotted it on social media and was intrigued by a young, black, woman who wants to get into the seemingly cumbersome business of designing, sourcing material, making and eventually selling swimsuits.

Selfies in the park: Boipelo and Kerotse are self confessed social media addicts.

"I used to see all these sexy bikinis on line and tried to order some, it was such a mission. In cases where I did succeed, the fit just wasn't right. I toyed around with the idea of making my own for a while and when I eventually did, the response I got made me believe that I may be onto something," said the bright eyed Pretoria beauty, who is so comfortable in her skin, that it made others at the photo shoot location a little uncomfortable.

Like a teething baby, the brand is still in its developmental  phase and there are a lot of business management related issues that  Boipelo still needs to figure out. "I'm still young and I want this brand to grow with me. So I'm going to learn as much as I can and work as hard as I'm able to. I want to be successful after all. We all do!"

Living the brand: Boipelo in Agent Provocateur bottoms and bikini top.

She added that "the idea is to inspire women of all shapes and sizes to feel sensasional in this range. I wish for them to own and embrace their bodies. Pear shaped, straight, hour glass...they must embrace themselves! These are the only bodies that we are ever going to have. There's never going to be a time where you can go back to God and say, hey, actually I would like a different body,"

She recoginses the realities of running such a business and is realistic about it . "I have challenges with capital, material sourcing, warehousing, marketing...on most sides of the business really. But I know that with time, the product quality will get so good that it will just speak for itself."

About the future, Boipelo said that she wants to eventually own her own boutique as well as distribute to  top stores , especially across the continent. "I'd love to see women wearing my range because of the sensational feeling it gives them!"
