The SA Fashion Week Autumn/ Winter 2015 Collections will be dominated by testosterone tomorrow as menswear takes to the runway, showcasing winter collection by some of the country's top menswear designers.

Among them are Olé Ledimo of House of Olé, whose winter collection of suits will be in collaboration with artist Nelson Makamo, and Shaldon Kopman of Naked Ape.

Said Ledimo, known for his Savile Row-like classic-cut suits: "The stereotype that fashion is just a ladies thing has shifted. It's something they [men] can own."

Other labels presenting their gear at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg, are Ephymol and Amos Tranque.

The f ashion show has been running since Wednesday.
