Profile Information:

- My primary role in relation to fashion is:
- Designer
- I am looking to discover or buy
- Networking
- About me / About business or organisation:
- I am 25 year-old lover of Snickers Bars, red wine and pasta, martini's and sushi, with a penchant for costume movies and reality TV shows.
With a small obsession for coffee, cupcakes and The Beatles, I also love working and relaxing outside as often as I can.
My small eco-friendly label, aims to provide South African consumers with a fun, quirky & beautiful range of clothing, that shows one does not need to give up personal style to be more eco-conscious!
I have recently met with a South African NGO that might provide the opportunity for me to get involved in skills-training and development of young teens and the communities supporting them. My heart beats faster every time I think of this...!
I love South Africa and feel blessed to have the opportunity to work here and aim to make a difference, even though it is very difficult to source eco-friendly fabrics and trims (etc).
I hope to someday be able to grow my business into a lifestyle store, offering consumers a wide variety of eco-trendy lifestyle choices. - Career history / Company history:
- mot.eco-trendy lifestyle was only officially registered at the beginning of 2009, however has been in existence since December 2007 and providing private clients with garments since July 2008.
The business was originally born out of a university project and grew into an opportunity the designer could not ignore.
The designer has a Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design and Technology, with the final year's field of specialization being organic cotton. Experience includes an internship with leading South African designer Marianne Fassler as well as participating as finalist in various design competitions in South Africa.
The label mot.eco-trendy lifestyle has been growing as a custom-made garment business since 2008. With the small (yet growing) consumer market for green clothing, it has been struggling to get a Ready-to-Wear range onto the market, with finances and the availability of textiles being the major factors.
