Seven top trends from SA Menswear Fashion Week
13 Jul 2017
The SA Menswear Spring Summer collection recently took place at the Palms in Woodstock from Thursday, 6 July to Saturday, 8 July. Issa Leo, a Spanish designer, based in Cape Town opened the week with a showing at his store in Loop street. He stayed true to his ethos ‘quality, craftsmanship and design'.
Issa believes in ‘reviving the lost industry in this country’, and sees his brand as a movement which promotes South Africa as a source of inspiration. He showcased his line of leather jackets, complimented by sports lux trousers, suede T-shirts and velour tracksuits, to name a few.
