Anel Botha is a leading name in the South African fashion industry and the visionary behind Anel Botha Couture, specializing in custom-made, exclusive bridal, evening, and cocktail wear. Renowned for her show-stopping red carpet designs, her creations have graced major events such as the South African Style Awards, the South African Music Awards, Afrikaans is Groot, and Silwer Skerm Fees.

Anel has had the honor of dressing some of South Africa’s most celebrated figures, including Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Rolene Strauss, Melinda Bam, Zozibini Tunzi, Amanda du-Pont, Leandie du Randt, Natasha Joubert, and Vanessa Carreira.

Her exceptional talent has earned her numerous awards and consistent recognition in the media as a fashion powerhouse. While she is passionate about evening wear, her true love lies in designing one-of-a-kind wedding gowns, worn by esteemed clients such as Karlien van Jaarsveld, Anja du Plessis, Sasha de Kock, Riana Nel, Demi Lee Moore, and Charlene Kallis.

A career highlight for Anel was being an official Miss South Africa eveningwear sponsor for ten consecutive years, during which she also had the privilege of dressing all the finalists for four of those years. A particularly memorable moment was designing the winning evening gown for Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters when she was crowned Miss Universe.

Expanding her brand further, Anel recently launched CALVERS, a line of ready-to-wear boutiques she envisions becoming a household name across South Africa.

With unwavering passion and determination, Anel Botha continues to set new standards in fashion, making her mark as a true industry icon.
