On Saturday, 9 July 2016, South African designer Merwe Mode launched their Inchoatte Etiquette collection during SA Menswear Fashion Week in Cape Town.
The Merwe Mode Inchoate Etiquette is a rebirth of Merwe Mode’s stance in fashion design appeal. It brought soft colours and flowy silhouettes to the SA Menswear Week ramp.
What the new collection symbolizes
Merwe Mode is known for mixing the clean lines of European street style with the essence of our quirky South African silhouettes.
However, with her new collection, Deeva from Merwe Mode chose to orient her new line around the working individual. She emphasized her garments’ versatility with a combination of masculine and feminine characteristics. The idea is to be able to wear them to any occasion, both during the day and at night by adding or subtracting accessories. The new collection symbolizes the state of disarray which is the fundamental ingredient to a customary code of elegance.
Merwe Mode’s Inchoate Etiquette is a canvas created for all young professionals, a collection of confidence and refinement.
You can find Merwe Mode from their studios at 36 Bromwell Rd, Cape Town or at Convoy in Melville, Johannesburg.
