TANGWA: The Stylish Legacy of a Young Leader in the Making

When fashion meets family, culture, and purpose—something powerful is born. That’s exactly what we saw on Good Morning Texas, where 14-year-old designer Dacyn Mofor introduced the world to his debut fashion brand, Tangwa.

A Father’s Dream, A Son’s Vision

The segment opened with a touching exchange between Daniel Mofor, founder of luxury menswear label Don Morphy, and his son. Daniel shared what many fathers dream of: watching your child not only walk in your footsteps but elevate the path you've built. "It’s every father’s dream," he said, beaming with pride, "for your son to be more than you."

 

That dream is well on its way with Dacyn at the helm of Tangwa—his very own brand that is quickly making waves with its unique blend of youthful energy, modern tailoring, and cultural heritage.

The Meaning Behind the Name

Tangwa isn’t just a catchy label. It’s Dacyn’s middle name, passed down from his grandfather, a proud Cameroonian like his father. The name means “Father of the People,” a title that reflects both legacy and leadership—values that shape the brand’s identity.

Who is the Tangwa Man?

Dacyn describes the “Tangwa man” as someone stylish yet comfortable, someone who blends confidence with edge. Whether he's in a sharp suit, a crisp tee, or clean sneakers, the Tangwa man moves with ease between upscale and athletic—just like Dacyn himself.

 

One standout piece? A sleek suit lined with comic book-inspired art—a nod to Dacyn’s playful spirit and love for storytelling. It’s a look that honors his dad’s Don Morphy elegance while adding his own personality and perspective.

More Than Just Fashion

But Tangwa isn’t just about looking good—it’s about doing good. During the interview, Dacyn shared his involvement with Threads for Change, where he leads Dress for Success workshops for students across North Texas.

 

Through these workshops, he teaches youth how to tie a tie, present themselves with confidence, and embrace the idea that “when you dress well, you feel good.” It’s fashion as a tool for empowerment—and Tangwa is helping make that possible.

 

In fact, a portion of every Tangwa purchase goes back into the community by supporting these workshops, donating clothing, and funding resources for schools and underserved youth.

From Style to Social Impact

What Dacyn is building at just 14 is more than a brand—it’s a movement. Rooted in culture, driven by confidence, and grounded in purpose, Tangwa is here to show the next generation that fashion can be both bold and meaningful.

 

And with every suit, every shirt, and every pair of track pants, Dacyn is living out the legacy of his name: a father of the people, leading by example.
