I love fall for many reasons, one involving layered fashion looks like those seen in the Kevin Joo Hwang thesis collection. Taking on theme of Southeast Asian fishermen, he created a feminine line that is both utilitarian and chic.
Available for a limited time at Debut in New York City, the Kevin Joo Hwang thesis collection has surely garnered him much deserved recognition. Fit for a show at Bryant Park, I'm more than sure this is the last we'll hear or see from Mr. Hwang. In the meantime, enjoy the handful of looks in the gallery above.
