After the menswear competition it was back to business with collections from more established menswear designers. The second show consisted of the autumn/winter ranges from three designers who are no strangers to SA Fashion Week.
Naked Ape by Shaldon Kopman started the ball rolling. The colour palate was clearly autumnal with touches of burnt orange, caramel and red highlighting the predominant neutral hues. We were particularly blown away by the amazing shoes worn on the runway - consisting of fabric co-ordinating with the sophisticated tweeds used on the trousers.

Chartu by Mike Narainsamy - the Narainsamy label has become one of Durban's most noted menswear labels. This season the new label "Chartu" was introduced which celebrates Mike Narainsamy's love for the essence of life. The one thing we always admire from this designer is the love of symmetry he embodies in every suit created. It's really a case of "what you see is what you get" - but the cut of his suits and the use of interesting colour combinations gave a very modern silhouette to the range.

Ephymol never disappoints when it comes to blending vibrant colour with exquisite tailoring and the latest collection from Ephraim Molingoane did not disappoint. Layering was very much in evidence and we particularly enjoyed the assymetrical blazers on view. This was a lovely twist and lifted the collection above some of the others on show. A big thumbs up!
