The MR PORTER SS 2014 capsule collection features the up-and-coming brand 'WOOYOUNGMI.' The label, which was born in South Korea and is currently based out of Paris, is a natural choice for MR PORTER; its capsules tend to be commercialized platforms for higher end designers.
Ms. Wood Youngmi aimed to create a thoughtful evolution with the offerings. She says, "I was particularly inspired by the colors of minimal natural landscapes: sky blue, desert terra cotta and cactus green." Each of those colors are carefully incorporated into the brand's casual T-shirts, button-ups, shorts, sweatpants, sneakers and bags.
Fans of MR PORTER will not be disappointed by the brand's latest collaboration, which continues to offer effortless, casual menswear.
