One to watch! : meet designer, Jaeha-Alex Kim with a new take on trouser fashion for a/w 2016

'duckbill' trouser hem, Jaeha-Alex Kim - designer, New York Fashion a/w 2016, New York Fashion Week, signature garment, signature piece, trouser fashion, trouser hems, trousers, womenswear, womenswear designers

 

 

Designer, Jaeha-Alex Kim

was born in South Korea where he spent his formative years.

At age ten, his family immigrated to New Zealand.

Demonstrating a pronounced talent in fashion design

he presented his first collection at only 21 years old,

during New Zealand Fashion Week (2007).

 

 

…

designer,  Jaeha-Alex Kim

jaeha, designer , portrait, youtube

(image from youtube)

…

 

His collection was received with thunderous accolade and much media attention.

Jaeha- Alex Kim was hailed as a most promising talent:

a one to watch.

 

His design perspective is that of risk-taker:

innovative, inspired/inspirational.

Yet, his clothes have the welcomed quality

of wearability, of fashion access.

 

 

 

 

For New York Fashion Week,  a/w  2016,

he presented a collection true to his spirit of inventiveness

featuring a modern silhouette to trouser design, which

draws the eye down to new point of interest on the garment:

the hem redefined.

 

 

 

‘Hemmed’ in

 

 -a trouser focal point of long length sculptural intention

-hems that lay flat across the shoe

in a shape reminiscent of a ‘duckbill’

 

 

Incorporate the ‘duckbill’ trouser hem into your

a/w 2016  wardrobe as signature piece:

East coast cool: menswear collection- a / w ’15 by designer, Steven Alan

American fashion designer

Steven Alan

is a bi-coastal:  living / working on both the west coast- Los Angeles

and the east coast- New York City, of the continental United States.

Yet, his sartorial aesthetics is definintely not a melding of dress directive

from each of these two fashion specific cities.

Rather, his design slant leans firmly towards an east coast,

NYC cool / carefree style.

…

steven alan, designer, portrat, elle.com

designer, Steven Alan

…

Initially a retailer / curator for up and coming designers-

Steven Alan launched his eponymous label in 1999

having no formal training in fashion design.

What he did possess was a trained eye and a clear vision

to create clothing:  starting in menswear and later to include womenswear,

which is of traditional classic casual but with his own interpretive

of distinct, albeit subtle,  modern details.

His iconic reverse seam shirt is example of this creative approach:

button down

seams on the outside

stitched down collar

narrow breast pocket

body tailored

at a length to be worn untucked

and the singular detail-  a twisted placket

…

Aspects of their progressive design mindset-

previsioned the coming of the computing age.

and the machine would offer the leading New York Times headline for that date-

certainly a rudimentary precursor of Google Search.
