PARKCHOONMOO Fall/Winter 2010

Choonmoo Park majored in industrial design at Hong-Ik University -- her industrial roots are very evident in her PARKCHOONMOO Fall 2010 collection and have defined her design aesthetic. Park's designs are edgy but wearable and she uses layering to create new combinations that have become a signature of the Korean avant-garde line. Colors were few, only black, gray and three blue pieces appeared on the runway, but zippers, knits and leather were in just about every look -- men and women's. The leather jackets were amazing, the zippered detail added that extra playfulness and the rare pops of blue lightened the mood. Overall, the 'X' shaped runway and darkly lit basement of the Hudson Hotel only aided in the futuristic feel of the collection.
