Mr PORTER.COM and Wooyoungmi have combined their talents to create an exclusive capsule collection.
Comprising nine pieces, inspired by nature and its elements, this collection will be available on Mr PORTER from May 27, 2014.
Inspired by the “desert” theme of the brand’s Spring-Summer 2014 collection, and the minimalist Wooyoungmi campaign by South Korean artist Kyung Woo Han, this capsule line uses colorful graphic lines and “colorblock” to create a minimalist artistic bias around the desert horizon.
Blue, khaki and burnt-earth stripes are juxtaposed with a digital cactus print in wide stripes across a shirt and t-shirt. They are accompanied by elegant shorts and pants, as well as a pair of sneakers, a bag and a briefcase. Each of the nine pieces has been specially designed to work in harmony, with a functional as well as artistic intent.
“I made sure to create this capsule collection from an evolution of my Spring-Summer collection and its interpretation by artist Kyung Woo Han. I was inspired by the colors of the landscape: a blue sky, a desert, its scorched earth and a cactus”.
Yoo Young Mi, Artistic Director and Founder of Wooyoungmi
“This collection explores the link between fashion and art that is essential to the Wooyoungmi philosophy. The use of minimalist colors and prints combined with precise cuts, unveils a futuristic and meticulous range of exclusive pieces that are sure to become collectors, and that our customers won’t find anywhere else.”
Toby Bateman, Purchasing Manager MRPORTER.COM
