The Mr and Ms brand was born out of Catherine Nebe’s lifelong aspiration to be a local fashion designer and provide something unique to the market. Nebe was born and raised in Cape Town and began her formal training with a qualification in Fashion Design and Pattern Making. She travelled to Europe gathering inspiration for her designs and drawing from overseas cultures. Her travels, combined with over five years of practical production experience at some of the fashion industry’s leading design labels, resulted in the Mr and Ms brand, the realisation of a dream.

“Mr and Ms is my own creation. My focus is on design for the individual. Acute attention to detail at every stage is crucial to me. So I have deliberately held back on growing my brand beyond what I can maintain. I pride myself on the fact that each item is a special creation,” says Nebe.

Ultimately, the ranges on offer within the Mr and Ms brand foster within females a sense of individuality and originality while at the same time maintaining a chic and sophisticated appearance. It is no doubt evident that passion is at the heart of these countryside-inspired designs.
