The festive season just got a whole lot more festive! It's another fantastic milestone for the renowned Gert-Johan Coetzee - his new ready-to-wear range will now be available on Spree.co.za. Online shopping is certainly the new frontier: we love the convenience of ordering your favourite items online without the hassle of queues and crowded shopping centres. The new ready-to-wear range will consist of 13 pieces in total with a price range of R660 to R1350. Designer wear at a steal at your fingertips! We simply adore this new collaboration. We went out to the lush Crowne Plaza Hotel to find out more about Gert-Johan's latest venture.

| A collaboration made in fashion heaven! |
While sipping magnificent G.M. & Ahrens bubbly, we heard more about this new collaboration: 'I love that Spree now brings GJC to anyone anywhere in South Africa, with affordable prices, swift delivery and a great returns policy,' said the designer of the new levels of accessibility which a platform such as Spree provides. Online shopping has been slower to develop in the South African market than in other markets; however, this definitely looks set to change. A fact often bemoaned by those desiring labels such as GJC is the challenges associated with acquiring your favourite local designer dress in an affordable retail setting. This is especially true for those living outside of the bigger cities.

About the collection, 'the range is based on my latest runway collection that was inspired by HIV awareness. SA is still the country with the highest infection rate, especially amongst women. It's a sophisticated daywear collection for the GJC girl who loves dressing up, but also needs something stylish and different for the office and lounging.'

There is more black and white in the Spree range using Coetzee's infinity diamond design, this makes it incredibly accessible as this collection can be made to be glamorous or dressed down as the occasion calls for. The printed fabric depicting what the virus looks like under the microscope ('Polka Dot Monster') is also represented in the Spree collection. We love the fact that this collection provides what Coetzee feels is severely lacking in most women's wardrobes: the basics that can be used for various different occasions.
