[timetocomehome.livejournal.com]

Seoul Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016 is underway at Dongdaemun Design Plaza. MUTZINE has exclusive coverage of the runway shows this season featuring top models, celebrity cameos, and of course, the latest fashions. We recap day three of the excitement. Review what happened on days one and two.

JKOO

Designers Choi Jin Woo and Koo Yeon Joo have graduated from the faux fur accents and raw edges that amply embellished their last two seasons’ collections in favor of a sheer sophistication. Clean hemlines and liberal amounts of lace refreshed the label’s signature style, elevating their representative sporty elegance to edgy refinement. However, it wasn’t all ruffles and sweetheart necklines: chaotic prints that resembled muddled watercolor from a distance reflected the theme of decollage––tearing away and removing --the collage’s polar opposite. Letting their diverse line do the talking, this year's Spring-Summer show saw the designers staying true to their streak of minimal make-up and straightforward hair styling. Another J KOO essential that lived to see the season? A sufficient sprinkling of cooler-than-thou sunglasses.

BEYOND CLOSET

Those looking for love came up empty-handed after beyond closet’s afternoon show, an unanticipated celebration of the anti-romantic and of designer Ko Taeyong’s adaptation of a more timeless look. Aptly entitled Nomantic, the collection featured broken hearts as a central theme for its opening. Delicate button-downs left partially open to reveal slivers of skin and tailored trousers of varying fits were crucial elements of the show’s line-up, present in majority of the looks. Also of the essence were Ko’s selection of accessories: leis dangled from the necks of models during the finale, taking the show’s garden-like setting full-circle, while an assortment of straw hats, some in pristine condition and others slightly threadbare, complemented a number of outfits as they graced the runway.

As always, more at the source!
