Spero Villioti COUTURE

SPERO VILLIOTI - THE INSPIRATION

Spero believes that all women are inherently beautiful and sees his role as a designer to emphasise their unique and special beauty. He believes that they all have the power to seduce and designs to enhance this quality but without ever being vulgar. His designs make his clients feel younger and zappier.

He draws inspiration from living life and seeing the attractiveness of the women around him.

This inspiration has lead to many elegant, stylish and glamorous creations which have been recognised in many ways during his career. He has been awarded the South African J&B Rare Designers Award, the London Frank Usher Award, the Most Successful Art Student Award at the London School of Fashion and the Textilia Young Designer Award in Greece.

Most of all though, Spero believes that his work must be recognised through the appreciation of the women who wear his creations.

After so many years at the top of his profession, Spero looked for a way to give back to the industry from which he had so liberally received. He saw the opportunity to train up new talent in South Africa by starting a design school where he could offer students an opportunity to learn the craft of couture which he felt was lacking in South Africa.
