We were treated to a behind the scenes look of the magic that happens when such powerhouses come together. On the morning of the show, we attended a special preview where Gert-Johan spoke to us about the inspiration behind the collection. 'My collections always have a meaning behind them. I thought that the next world war will probably be fought over water,' and thus, this element became the muse of his latest Autumn-Winter 2016 collection. What followed was an accessible yet beautiful collection using a deep shade of blue to provide the overall framework. To showcase the collection alongside the motoring masterpieces, a shoot featuring Jay Anstey and Thando Hopa took place in the Ferrari garage.

Gert-Johan Coetzee's collaboration with Spree.co.za has also been incredibly successful. The idea of fashion at one's fingertips (especially the latest collections) has appealed to consumers and his ranges have consistently sold out on this online platform. Of course, this collection will be no different: select items were immediately available on Spree.co.za. Gert-Johan and his team understand the business of fashion and the importance of making runway looks accessible. Customers no longer have to wait endlessly or try to hunt down their favourite designs: if anyone thirsty for some of the latest Gert-Johan Coetzee collection a refreshing glass of ice-cold water is coming right up.
