The Coinonia Fall 2011 collection has an extremely interesting aesthetic. The clothing featured in their lookbook uses fraying and sheer fabrics in an effort to create a distressed look, serving as a throwback to the 90s grunge era. The effort is well-received.
Coinonia, a recently newer label, has used their basic color palette of black, grey and orange, and maximized the dramatics against the white backdrop. The collection itself is very flowy, yet still boxy, giving a masculine feel to this women's collection.
What sets this collection aside from other fall collections is the unique use of fraying material. Designers Momoko Hashigami and Kiho Kim have an interesting aesthetic and styled the clothes with chains and yarn-like necklaces, creating overall cohesiveness.
The Coinonia Fall 2011 collection is chic and has perfect designs for the fall season.
