The new WOOYOUNGMI collection is the work of a duo: mother and daughter worked hand in hand for this very first collaboration. Katie Chung, daughter of founder and designer Woo Youngmi, is Associate Artistic Director. <\/p>\n
This collection is based on the attitude of a carefree, party-loving young man for whom the constraints of the 35-hour work week do not exist. He wanders between the sun-drenched coastline and the calm of a shady street. His “take it or leave it” attitude makes him an incorrigible seducer. With a floppy hat on his head and a parka tied around his hips, his style knows no bounds; he wears his favorite printed T-shirt under a finely tailored jacket. For the moment, his dreams of becoming an artist are absorbed by his lifestyle, which is already an art in itself. <\/p>\n
The sporty silhouette is combined with a calm, serene attitude, while the silk and viscose of the pieces add a touch of luxury to the ensemble. The prints are more masculine, influenced by Lichtenstein’s 1930s motifs and stitch techniques. A second motif, similar to the movement of waves on sand, reflects the influences of abstract art on the collection. <\/p>\n
Materials include silk, linen, viscose, cotton and lambskin, which accentuate the body’s movements, while the collection’s blues and pastels recall the colors of Miami at dusk.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
