Joyce Darkoh is a female designer specializing in men's wear. Her line, DARKOH, launched in 2013 in response to demand for made-to-measure suits. For her spring/summer 2015 collection, she presented suits made from modern fabrics like denim, cotton and tweed, and used a brighter color palette of pinks, blues, whites and browns compared to her usual darker tones. The collection included slim and double-breasted suits, woven tops and an overcoat, with eye-catching pieces like an indigo double-breasted suit, pink and tan woven suit, and blue/white dotted tuxedo. DARKOH suits men of all shapes and styles.

1. DARKOH SS15 – Carl Ayers
Joyce Darkoh is one of the few female designers that specialize in menswear. A graduate of
Germany’s prestigious Modeschule Schloss Eller, Joyce has spent over a decade refining her
skills in men’s made-to-order suiting. In response to the high demand of in-between sizes
and body shapes—which require made-to-measure services—and the request for instant
product availability, Joyce launched her eponymous ready-to-wear line, DARKOH, in 2013.

2. The brand is anchored by its use of high quality worsted wool from renowned English and
Italian mills. However, for spring/summer 2015, Joyce presented suits made of modern
fabrics such as denim, light cotton, and multi-color tweed. Her color palette for spring 2015
also took a divergent trail; while previous collections had been dominated by darker,
earthy and industrial hues, this time she opted for pale pinks, vibrant blues, crisp whites,
and chocolate browns.
Aside from an eye-catching color selection, Joyce gives her customer an array of options for
the cut and fit of his chosen garments. There were the ever-trendy, slim cut, single-breasted
suits as well as classic American double-breasted options that, while more full-bodied, also
maintained a slimming silhouette. For the more casual gentleman looking for non-suit
selections, there were woven tops and a multicolor silk tweed overcoat. However, the truly
eye catching standouts were the washed indigo double breasted suit, the pink and tan
woven suit, and the dark blue/white dotted tuxedo.
The entire collection was stunning, from start to finish, including the amazing accessories
by Hayes Hamilton. With a penchant for creating custom suits for men of all shapes and
styles, DARKOH is a sure hit for any man, whether he’s a linebacker or desk jockey.
