RUNWAY: Juun J SS19
South Korean designer
Juun J.'s play on proportions has not ebbed and it has transformed, to a point, to a play on surrealism with extra arm holes or sleeves added on to already elongated silhouettes. While outerwear seemed to be the focus, such as trench coats but windbreakers in particular, it was the shirts that drew this reviewer's attention, showing how one could style these crazy long shirts. Sure, making it a shirt dress for your wife or girlfriend is simple but being able to tie it around one's hips to create a boho-chic look is a tougher feat for men. All that being said, the designer - after years of praise - seem to be resting on his laurels with collections that aren't quite identical but have far too much in common.
