Concept Korea Fall/Winter 2015
By Erik DeFruscio
For the three Seoul-based designers in the Concept Korea presentation, there was a mix of both men’s and women’s wear designs. Beyond Closet, designed by Tae Young, and Resurrection by Juyoung Lee both focused on menswear for their fall/winter 2015 collections.
Beyond Closet, above, started the show with a mixture of colors and textures but maintained a masculine look throughout the collection. Oversized fur coats, suede jackets and leather and silk shirts where showcased in multiple different patterns from plaid to a cheetah print. Finishing off each look was an array of loafers giving the collection a polished presentation.
Resurrection showed cocoon coats, leather jackets, jacquard rider jackets and foiled pants and jackets. The edgy design of the collection was inspired by the designer’s unconventional sensibilities. The collection details included translucent fabric, zippers and fur. Lastly, to stand out from the rest, Lee used black mohawk fur beanies for each look.
