— February 6, 2012 — Fashion
This conceptual collection by designer Minky Ha features cocoon-like shapes and pod-like structural elements. From voluminous silhouettes to futuristic hair styling, this bold collection features a minimalist lookbook that stands out for all the right reasons.

Featuring a crisp all-white backdrop and eye-catching pops of color, this edgy editorial spread features the South Korean designer's dynamic debut. This conceptual collection is entitled 'What Men Live By?' taking inspiration from forms and elements found in nature.

From sharp monochromatic tones to brightly colored hues, this stunning collection and accompanying editorial dares to stand out looking to the future with bold styling and artful photography.
