Suné Venter is a design student at the Tshwane University of Technology, and one of the South African finalists in the 2008 Triumph International Inspiration Awards. Her passion for both fashion and design gives her motivation and drive as she prepares to enter this fast pace and highly competitive industry. Venter’s approach to design is with her heart leading the way – it needs to feel right. Her aim is for each garment to be a reflection of the kind of person she is, with an end result that leaves people feeling both comfortable and beautiful.
Being an extremely fussy lingerie shopper herself, the Inspiration Awards presented an ideal opportunity for her to tailor make the type of lingerie she would like to find in stores. Her design is inspired by the sweet and shy, yet sexy and seductive cartoon character Betty Boop, combined with the calmness, beauty and unpredictability of nature. The international global warming phenomenon contributed greatly to her colour selection – after all, green is the new black! Venter’s design is intended to make women feel sexy and desirable, oozing femininity and beauty. The garment makes a statement that is dramatic and mysterious. Light and delicate on the skin, Venter’s lingerie will fit like a glove.
With her eye on the prize, Venter is here to learn and grow. She hopes to take away from the Inspiration Awards further insight into the business of lingerie and the fashion industry as a whole. Her long term goal is to have her garments in all of the top lingerie stores across the world.
Venter is inspired by local designers Abigail Betz and Gavin Rajah. Betz for her simplistic, vintage designs and textured fabrics. Rajah for his stylish garments that epitomize true elegance. On the international stage, Venter looks to Roberto Cavalli for inspiration, his great use of colours and designs that make every women look and feel beautiful.
