I have tremendous respect for any designer that can create a fresh look in menswear without taking it overboard; such as dressing men in skirts just for the sake of forward fashion evolution as some recent trends have illustrated.
I find that Ephymol, never fails to provide gents like myself - that suffer from nightmares about looking like ‘plain Joes - with a cutting edge look without having to worry about being too ‘out there’. For the Spring/ Summer 2011 collection Ephymol have graced us with nautical inspired, tight fitted suits with precise tailoring and bold bright colours. This particular look not only provides the wearer the nostalgic “sailor” allure but simultaneously demonstrated that dudes can be daring in their fashion too.
