Korean designer JUUN.J introduces his latest capsule for the Fall/Winter 2021 season with the unveiling of the PERSONA collection. The capsule is full of oversized looks, which nods to the heritage of the fashion label. This includes billowing suits, a plethora of outerwear options, and dresses that challenge traditional shapes.
The latest looks are generally pretty toned down, emphasizing large pieces such as big blazers, wide shaped pea coats, and flowing slacks. The more refined options include skirts, leather options, and black balaclavas. There are also items that are detailed with the rich blue hue including the puffer coat, ribbed sweaters, cargo pants, and the bomber jacket. This adds a sense of militaristic influences to the seasonal pieces as well.
