RUNWAY: Juun J. SS17
South Korean designer
Juun J's latest collection was inspired by tech used by fighter pilots in the 1940s to allow them to be conscious when there were sharp changes in air pressure in the cabin. In essence, it was a parachute inside the plane. The result was a voluminous collection that used the cords seen on these devices, as well as dramatic fabric usage to create a balloon effect. In addition, there were some great, more understated - relatively speaking, pieces that stood out including a cinched leather hoodie paired with oversized jeans and the ultra-wide suiting that was reminiscent of Balenciaga's SS17 looks.
