He only knew he would become a fashion designer the day he designed his own matric farewell outfit. Now, five years after qualifying as a fashion designer, Nico Willoughby-Smith is making a name in the fashion world in a very big way.
The latest models to wear one of his creations are internationally-known singers, songwriters and musicians. Nianell performed in Polokwane in August of 2009 wearing one of Willoughby-Smith’s divine creations, and just last week, Lianie May performed in Polokwane wearing a creation that best represented the diva’s striking personality.
Nico Willoughby-Smith is a designer who firmly believes that there is no such thing as competitiveness if one is in a class of one’s own. Having dealt with the fashion industry in his unique way over the past five years, Willoughby-Smith realizes it takes time to live a burning passion whilst remaining humbled by experiences.
Nico Willoughby-Smith. Indeed a label to watch as he skyrockets into a different orbit.
