Donghyuk Dan Kim Fall 2012


Donghyuk Dan Kim Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. Originally from South Korea, Donghyun has a background in chemical engineering and pattern design. In his men’s collection, Donghyun took his audience off-guard by his bold vintage military uniforms inspired by the American West. His designs including tobacco oilcloth cotton shirt and olive wool gabardine/brown leather jacket made a dashing counterstatement to the belief that guys have to be metro to be fashionable.

Kate YK Lee Fall 2012



Kate YK Lee Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. Coming from Seoul, South Korea, Kate took her inspiration from the sculptural elements of architecture. Her collection is a remarkable class between rounded silhouettes, offset by defined lines and sharp, angled seams. Using pale silver, navy, and black as her main colors, Kate depicted the urban femininity without the bright colors typically associated with it.

Jeanette Au Fall 2012

Jeanette Au Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week.
Born in Michigan, but growing up in New York City, Jeanette took much inspiration for her collection from Sergei Diagliav’s Ballet Russe and the painting of Leon Bakst. Jeanette’s talent of creating a supernatural vibe through alternating the usage of mohairs of all different colors?deep sapphire, silver blue, platinum, copper, garnet, and ruby, truly created her collection a sensation. Watching her intricate textures and patterns predominant in all of her collection was a pure delight.
