SA designer reaches for a dream with his new collection
Prominent South African designer Gert-Johan Coetzee has released his Spring Summer Collection - dedicating it to the Reach for a Dream Foundation.
Coetzee has become known for his "fashion with a cause" approach in his design and each year he makes a difference by dedicating his signature collection to a specific cause.
He showcased his latest collection to a small group of guests with "it girl" Bonang Matheba, who modelled one of the glamorous gowns for the celebrity designer.
"Gert-Johan has mastered how I want to look and how I want to feel. This really is his best collection ever!" says Bonang Matheba.

He says that he has met many wonderful children through his work with Reach for a Dream, and it moves him every time a child wants to meet him.
The 29-year-old designer says these children inspires him to keep on hoping and dreaming.
"I love being part of the Slipper Day campaign, and the timing was so great with their launch so close to the reveal of my new collection," Gert-Johan says.
