South Korean designer Jiyong Kim unveils the latest collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2021 season under his brand, JiyongKim. The capsule is full of sustainable pieces that are spotlighted by sun-fading elements, designed with inspiration drawn from his own personal musings.
The pieces are made using vintage apparel, antique fabrics, textiles industry offcuts, and other sustainable approaches. The brand stays away from traditional cuts and extensive water waste and chemicals. This season, Kim references his domestic travels throughout his heritage in South Korea and his studio. He noticed the weathering components on the nets used to cover boats and how it cre5ates dynamic yet unique discoloration. The seasonal capsule renders this throughout the different pieces for a warped look.
