'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).

 

 

…

(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:
