POLOKWANE – Shaun Molepo (24), the owner of Juniorramz Fashion Design Company in Polokwane, recently unveiled his latest collection, Corde. He designs bespoke attire for matric dances, weddings, graduations and other special occasions.

His love for fashion began in high school, when he printed and sold shirts to classmates. In 2021, he took a leap into sewing and refined his skills through a 12-month course at the AC Fashion School in Polokwane. “That’s where I sharpened my skills, and the rest is history,” he said.

Molepo draws inspiration from seeing people feel confident in his creations. “It’s about making a statement wherever you go and leaving people amazed,” he said. The name Juniorramz is a tribute to his father, combining his nickname ‘Remz’ with ‘Junior’.

He has designed outfits for radio and TV presenters and showcased his work in several Polokwane fashion shows. “What I love most is travelling, meeting new people, and experiencing different lifestyles,” he added.

Focused on building a strong, independent brand, Molepo is not rushing into collaborations, preferring to grow steadily. His achievements include winning in three categories at the Polokwane Municipality’s Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) competition and participating in the Polokwane Mercedes-Benz Fashion Show, which raised awareness for emerging designers.

His advice to aspiring creatives: “Follow your dreams and never let anyone tell you otherwise”. Follow his journey on social media under JuniorRemz Collections.
