JiyongKim works in collaboration with Clarks on two new iterations of the classic footwear including the Sun-Bleached Wallabee followed by the Sun-Bleached Raw Egde Desert Trek. Set to launch officially on April 20th, the two bring attention to the timeless models. The two continue to build on their previous popular collection that launched in September.
The launch features sun-bleached fabric along the upper to create a natural color gradient. It also integrates a raw-edge technique which transforms into a fringe design accent. The Wallabee adopts the sun-bleaching visual on the sides to allow the technique to be visible at all angles. This will be available to shop at the designer's online store and the new location in Hannan.
