“Traveling back and forth in between the East and West keeps me alert due to the fact that the speed of life is extremely various– it’s essential to be advised there’s a world beyond the instant bubble we’re residing in.” Shared Rejina Pyo at a sneak peek in her north London studio this week. “This collection is my love letter to Seoul.” Steering clear of apparent meaning and iconography, the collection discreetly twisted the South Korean designer’s signatures, leading to a smooth tribute to her home city.
Her matches were crafted from light-weight wool and Tencel in olive and brown shades. Some consisted of double-breasted coats for a more mannish appearance, while others included single-breasted designs with boning to stress a cinched waist and declaration buttons. She utilized recycled taffeta for puff-sleeve tops, celebration gowns, and wrap skirts, while full-length coats, bomber coats, and freight trousers sets were made from a layered leatherette product that felt light-weight and soft to the touch.
Motivated by a fabric she came across at a market in Seoul, Pyo created a hand-drawn print, which she integrated into camisole gowns, midi skirts, and home coats. The collection got included depth with the addition of large lace t-shirts, skirts, and floor-length cover. She likewise devoted substantial effort to refining traditional natural cotton tank tops.
Pyo’s knowledge depends on curating an unified variety of separates in delightful, somewhat non-traditional colors, enabling users to quickly blend and match pieces from her collections without overthinking things. She discussed, “I desired whatever to match each other without appearing purposeful. It’s everything about attaining that balance in between looking polished and delicately reversed– there’s something even more elegant about that than being best.”
