KANGHYUK FW18 "Collection 4" Continues Its Investigation of Synthetic Materials
Polyamide and nylon fabric car airbags.
Since launching his eponymous label in 2017, Korean designer Kanghyuk Choi and Sanglak Shon have carved out a niche in the fashion realm with his investigation of mass-produced synthetic materials.
Tokyo retailer GR8 recently put together an editorial spotlighting KANGHYUK‘s latest Fall/Winter 2018 release, “Collection 4.” The photo set places a lens on the industrial label’s emblazoned polyamide and nylon fabric car airbags, and contrast blue/red stitching used in the construction of the upcycled range. Expressing a raw, off-white aesthetic with a focus on functionality and mobility, each piece in the collection displays a study of paneling and precise design. Some notable pieces include the 250G Cropped Goose Down Parka with gloves, Airbag Windbreaker and Fake Fur Jumper.
Priced between ¥64,000 and ¥303,000 (approximately $575 and $2,723 USD), the KANGHYUK FW18 Collection 4 release is available now at select retailers like GR8.
For more contemporary fashion, Stone Island reimagined its Ice Jacket in Dyneema bonded leather.
