Mercedes Benz Fashion Week NYC: Son Jung Wan Fall/Winter 2015

Ever since I attended the Concept Korea fashion show a few years ago at Lincoln Center, I've been a big fan of Korean designer Son Jung Wan.  This season's Fall/Winter 2015 show did not disappoint.  

 The color wheel ran the gamut of rich hues including fuchsia, violet, orange, turquoise, mint gree, with metallic gold and silver thrown in to the mix.

I imagined myself wrapped in the brilliantly colored and  luscious coats made of fox and beaver fur, cashmere coats dramatically trimmed in fur, ideal for frigid New York City temperatures.  

These brightly colored pieces would definitely make an sophisticated alternative to the masses of urban black puffer coats (e.g. Canada Goose, Moncler) and keep you warm!

Son Jung Wan Fall/Winter 2011

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2011- Korean designer Son Jung Wan's collection may have had a neutral color palette of nude, taupe, ivory, and black, but satiny silk fabrics and flecked metallic silver and gold tweed created  plenty of light and shimmer. Luxurious silver fur coats and ponchos were trimmed with sequins for additional oomph.  Details such as pleating, twine and "pearl" chest details resulted in a glamorous lineup.  For some, neutral may mean boring, but not for Son Jung Wan.
