Ephymol is an SA Fashion week house hold menswear brand owned by Ephraim Molingoana, brand based in the heart of Johannesburg, Marshall town, the brand as one of the menswear pioneers in SA fashion week calendar. Ephymol carries that African artistic feel and retro element, bold and sharp use of prints and strong tones of pantones.

"The collection is inspired by the 60s style, fashion, art social states of that time"-Ephraim Molingoana. 

 Why you should consider all black in your wardrobe this winter!

"Black is modest and arrogant, at the same time black is lazy and easy, but mysterious, but above all black say *I don't bother you, don't bother me"Yohji Yamamoto.

If Someone ever breaks into my house I will run, open my wardrobe as that's where I feel safe, dark and brave, yes because that's where I keep all my black clothes.
