Meet the team: Derilise Wrensch


Name: Derilise Wrensch
Position held: Personal Assistant
Duration of position held: 6 months

Derilise studied fashion design at the North West School of Design before starting work at Jose de Canha Couture in January this year. Her creativity and need to help men and women feel comfortable in what they wear as well as educating them in dressing appropriately was the driving force behind her fashion designing endeavour.

To Derilise, fashion is, “showing your inner beauty, elegance and your personality style.” In the future, Derilise sees herself as one of the top designers and fashion brands in South Africa. She plans on launching a range of denim garments accompanied by other ready to wear garments.

Derilise’s favourite quote of all time is by Audrey Hepburn:
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

Fashion Horoscope: Cancer




22 June- 23 July

Element: Water
Colours: Blue, Silver
Best Romantic Match: Scorpio, Pisces
Style Icon: Joan Smalls

Femininity, sensitivity and a nurturing nature is what you are all about, thus your best styles are simply womanly chic and minimalistic. When choosing colours for your wardrobe as well as your make-up, lilac and silver highlight your gentle side. Wild, crazy looks and trends do not work for you so try a light pink blusher with your signature natural look.
