The fashion industry is mourning the death of renowned local designer, Coenraad de Mol. “The passing away of leading South African designer, Coenraad de Mol on Tuesday 19 May 2020, has left the local fashion industry devasted,” said Booysen. De Mil was established by De Mol in 1997 and he moved into male-inspired gender neutral clothing in 2007. Although a master patternmaker and a true constructionist, De Mil took a new-world approach to clothing. Coenraad De Mol was one of those silent pioneers in the local fashion industry.
