Highlights from South Africa Menswear Week SS19

South Africa Menswear Week Highlights

South Africa Menswear Week SS19 took place in Cape Town, South Africa on the past week, showcasing some amazing collections filled with Spring Summer inspiration. I'd like to start by looking back on my 3 favorite collection. 

1. Tokyo James

This collection was simply beautiful to look at. The visual impact it has, flows so easily and takes you on a journey of soft colors and masculine lines and cuts. The designer showed a few monotone looks exploring white, salmon, pink, purple and black hues, sometimes enhanced by prints such as snakeskin, metallic leather or appliques.  Thus creating a very elegant, colorful and smart collection for any man or woman. ( To be honest, I'm head over heels in love with the coats). See full collection here.

2. Nao Serati

Nao Serati's collection gave me all sorts of spring summer looks, that i'd like to wear with my friends and take the most amazing pictures. The collection also featured a few monotone looks mainly focused on red, white, pink, purple, and black hues. The looks feature feminine lines with an edge, by using leather, sheer fabric and velvet in some looks. See the full collection here.

3. XM Creations

XM Creations showcase a very colorful collection, filled with a print that resembles white fabric that has been stained with paint. The polka dot handbags added the perfect touch, to the summery looks. The designer also played with stripes paired with bold colors such as yellow and red. See the full collection here.
