South Korean fashion label XLIM is headed by Do Hee Kim and now he prepares to launch the EP.01 collection, marking the inaugural capsule. The collection is ready for the Spring/Summer 2021 season, led by striking details and unique color palettes that are carefully chosen.
Some of the intricate details that make up the capsule includes the way that function is integrated with the structural forms. This gives an effortless feel to the seasonal apparel, with some standouts including the zippered jacket offered in a washed out blue, red, or black hue. It has pearl weaving throughout the panels for a contrasting look, thick exposed stitching, and some dynamic cuts throughout that cannot be missed.
