Each year Spero Villioti honours the emerging talent in the South African fashion industry by extending an invitation to one of Spero Villioti Elite Design Academy's most promising graduates to showcase their debut collection on his show at Joburg Fashion Week.

This year saw the launch of aspiring designer Rinis Swanepoel in the fashion world. A modern ensemble of leather, faux fur and lace came together to create Swanepoel's 'Opulence Vivacious' collection. The collection “resembles a woman's sophistication”, comments Swanepoel. “The conjunction of leather, lace and fur demonstrates the power of these three opulent fabrics.”

Spero Villioti Elite Design Academy would not only like to congratulate Rinis for the excellent workmanship displayed in his collection but would also like to wish him much success in his journey as a fashion leader!
