Staying true to its belief in perfectly executed details, Korean label Wooyoungmi delivered an immaculate 2017 fall/winter collection at Paris Fashion Week. Transitioning perfectly from its spring/summer offering, the Seoul-based brand once again turns to a heavy dose of plaid, gingham and windowpane checks to help accentuate garents essential for the colder months. The patterns are perfectly paired atop shirts, jackets, coats, trousers, sweaters and cardigans. Aesthetically, a majority of the collection features either exaggerated collars, oversized fits, or extended sleeves. Ruffles are perfectly integrated throughout to give the collection a modern yet colonial look.

Check out the full runway looks above and let us know what you think.
