Dear Pennies & Pens,
On Monday, I attended the press preview for Korean designer, Lie Sang Bong. As soon as I receivedĀ the invite and lookbook, I knew I had to add it to my already hectic preview schedule. The Lie SangĀ Bong showroom is located in Chelsea right next to all the super cool art galleries. This gives theĀ showroom location an artistic ambiance which I loved.
Upon entering the showroom, I met Nana who is the Director of the showroom. Nana carefullyĀ explained the inspiration for the Fall/Winter 2012 collection while I looked at the collection. SheĀ also showed me all the fabulous press Lie has received in major publications like Vogue, W, andĀ more.
The Fall/Winter 2012 collection was inspired by āDol Damā which are traditional KoreanĀ stonewalls that are built by stacking pieces of stones of various sizes and shapes. In essence, theĀ collection reinterprets architectural structure into an interesting mix of fabrics, shapes, details, andĀ colors. The collection included fabrics like wool, silk, fine leather, and fur. Basically, the collectionĀ used high quality luxurious fabrics, clean tailoring, and a beautiful color palette. The color paletteĀ included black, grey, navy, burgundy, and hot pink.
My favorite pieces were the jackets! These pieces were so chic and minimal. I love minimal fashionĀ because it stands the test of time. I also loved the fur pieces. The colors used were also amazing,Ā these colors gave the clothes a cool look and Iām always partial to a pop of color. Please check out Lieās site hereĀ .
And there it is. de la Penā¦All Pen Everything.
