Seoul-based fashion label JOEGUSH would define itself as a remake label and it recently introduced its REMA-KOUTURE collection for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. The seasonal collection is full of reworked designs that are dominated by patchwork details. The selection is widely expansive and pushes the boundaries of deconstructed looks. There are style infusions of older punk sensibilities and Americana alt-rock -- the patchwork nods to the concept of disrupting balance and order. The shredded fabric latched onto the collection's camo pieces also reference the same idea.
Key pieces in the REMA-KOUTURE collection include the custom M-65 jacket, asymmetrical hoodies and distressed denim jeans—there's also the label's iconic tassel accessory that sees a goat-suede iteration with metal clips included in the capsule as well. The JOEGUSH Fall/Winter 2018 collection is set to drop online on October 1st.
