Eve
Levinsohn studied at the Ivor Kirsten Academy of Fashion where after
she was immediately offered a position as head designer at the Edcon
Group. She started off designing for Celrose the in-house
manufacturing company for the then Edgars Group but went on to
design for many of the other labels within the group such as Shelly
Shops, Kelso, Merienne Hall, Penny C, Charter Club, Nite Out as well
as Sales House and Jet Stores.
Thereafter, she progressed into the exciting world of merchandising
and travelled the world buying samples and was part of a team in a
department called "the design centre" which specialised in trend
and colour forecasting.
Her love of
eveningwear and bling prompted Eve to start her own business when
she felt that she had achieved
as
much as she could with her current position. She went on her own and
produced a range which she sold to boutiques such as Dodo's and Elle
Boutique. Wedding gowns were a natural progression from this and
Eve's Bridalwear was born.
Business philosophy: Always be honest, friendly and kind. Listen to
what clients are saying and strive to give a hundred percent of
herself.
Greatest achievements: Building a significant business in the bridal
wear market and being featured on Top Billing several times.
