Continuing its progressive evolution, POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2023 collection, titled “5.1.” Fueled by the ongoing theme of its “CHAPTER ONE” series, the standout South Korean label developed a seasonal range of functional and conceptual designs that mark the final version of styles from its “1.0” to “5.0” collections.

The “5.1” collection revisits PAF’s archive drawing “memories” of the brand to elevate through new material constructions, craftsmanship, functionality, silhouetting, and overall detailing. Ushering in the future of the label, the 5.0 LONG SLEEVE RIGHT and 5.0 SKIRT CENTER have been combined in an evolution into the 5.1 DRESS RIGHT. While the 5.0 JACKET RIGHT and TROUSERS RIGHT have been reimagined with corduroy and the 4.0+ DOWN RIGHT received metallic reflective elements to accent structural details.

Finally, the 4.0 JACKET CENTER and 4.0 TROUSER CENTER are rendered in a mixture of polyester and elastane for a subversive tailoring outlook of tailored jackets and trousers.

POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF)’s “5.1” collection will be showcased at Garage 21 in Milan January 13-17 and launched globally in September.
