Sweaters draped over the shoulders and

tied around the neck with a single knot or sleeve loop-

has long been a statement styling feature,

particularly signature of preppy/collegiate fashion.

This look of  sweater as scarf has evolved,

with styling options of varying twits and turns.

 

 

It is an all encompassing fashion feature

for all seasons

for all genders

for all ages.

 

 

Incorporate SSS (sweater as scarf styling)

as a staple accessory item and fashion nod:

sleeves wrapped in multiple layers around the neck; tied diagonally crossbody

or attempt to channel something unique to a personal style.

'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
