South African Fashion Week: Ephymol

Cape Town |  Cities |  Johannesburg | 

This Ephymol collection was designed by model-turned-designer  Ephraim Molingoane. The line features suits and dressy outfits in luxury fabric and print colors.

The silhouettes of the suits take us back to the 70’s with a retro vibe. The patterns and colors are strong and bold and give the collection a summery, resort feel. The suits still stay modern, despite their bright blue and teal colors, due to urban cuts.

The Ephymol line is for a bold gentlemen, someone with sass and style that is ready to walk out into the world with confidence.

BDMOTP favorite: tangerine jacket paired with bright blue pants

South African Fashion Week: JD By Shaldon Kopman

Cape Town |  Cities |  Johannesburg | 

The JD by Shaldon Kopman collection is designed by you guessed it: designer Shaldon Kopman. This authentic South African collection is casual, bright and effortless.

Shaldon Kopman used colorblocking and bold colors to make his point in this collection. It’s perfect for a summer weekend, and it’s bright colors are fun and playful. The warmth of the reds and the brightness of the blues is definitely in accordance with the the bold and fashion forward South African trends.

Models sported cool oxford colorful wing type casual shoes with all the outfits. Colorful hats and cotton cloth bags accessorized the collection. Military style jackets and three quarter sleeved shirts are frequent silhouettes used in the line. Mixing red and orange, which is usually taboo, somehow works here.

BDMOTP favorite: the interesting and original “hoodie” blazer, mixing both dressy and causal styles.
