Bruno studied web design and after graduating joined the “waiting list” of unemployed graduates. When Cecilia offered him the opportunity to join her at Studio 05, Bruno was captivated by all things fashionable. With a design background it was only a matter of time before his design skills were altered to suit fashion design. His interest grew as he learned everything within the business of fashion from design to construction and it was during this time that it became evident that he had set his sights on the fashion industry. A lot of hard work and effort has gone into honing not only his design skills but also learning to impart knowledge onto learners, having to at times be a student himself. The result of which is him now lecturing in Design Theory, Textile and CAD. Bruno is also the co-owner of apparel brand, 1EXIT Apparel, an urban clothing line that came to life in 2002. 1EXIT Apparel is representative of a brand whose inspiration derives from having a form of escape from a conformist style of every day city life.Yvette van den Berg graduated in 2006 from LISOF with a Diploma in Fashion Design where she was awarded a full scholarship and later an academic award for most creative student.
