Pret-a-perfect
Johannesburg Based south african Fashion Brand
Pret-A-Perfect is a South African fashion brand working out of Johannesburg and conceived by Sandy Rogers. Unabashedly feminine, fresh and flirtatious, the signature aesthetic of Pret-A-Perfect is its sensuality and ease, cut and quality. But more than this - each garment is a beautiful and meaningful response to the complex problems of fast fashion and the vast quantities of fabrics that the fashion industry over-orders and doesn't use.
COSMOS
Resort collection 2025
Shown first at South Africa Fashion week on 26 April 2025, the collection was inspired by a line spoken by Amanda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada: “Florals? For Spring! Groundbreaking”. Sandy was reminded of the film whilst walking her dog Greg in the park in Johannesburg. She was caught in a dilemma with the collection - wanting to avoid a well worn fashion cliche, whilst also being enraptured by the glorious abundance of cosmos flowers in the park at spring time. She decided to embrace the contradiction and allow those soft wheaten colours and gentle pinks to become a canvas for these new garments. To her, the flowers truly do signify renewal, rebirth and fresh hope for a future filled with nature’s gifts.
The Pret-A-Perfect philosophy is about breathing new life into discarded and unloved fabrics, and here they have been reimagined as floral compositions - their inner butterflies set free.
As ever, our process is grounded in the African ethos of reimagining and reusing - each garment has been crafted with patience and a gentle, yet purposeful, opposition to waste.
The Ties That Bind
The Ties That Bind was a response to a profound loss, honouring the memory of a beloved sister. Abandoned fabrics were reborn here as vessels of meaning, filled with love. Through a process of slow reverence and care we transformed these forgotten fabrics into a tender elegy woven from cherished memories of family, home and community. Unbound by the seasons, The Ties That Bind collection is an intimate meditation on connection, time and the beauty of what remains.
From The Archive
We began making our clothing in 2018 in The Faktory at Victoria Yards - taking time to experiment with the process, refine our ethos and learn how to coax our ideas from conception through to completion. Many of our original garments were only made once. Some of them worked better than others but we are forever grateful to those pretty ugly ducklings for the things we learned while making them.
