“F**k. I need every single one of these pieces.”
So says the first commenter on the Fashionisto’s blog in response to the Juun J Spring 2011 collection. I couldn’t agree more.
Being more than a month behind schedule, I wonder if it was time to put to rest my blog postings on my favourite collections from Men’s Fashion Week. Then I bump into the Juun J collection once again, and the urge to share the genius of this Korean-born, Paris-based designer overrules my concerns.
I consider this collection my personal favourite for the season, as I harboured a strong liking for almost every look from its runway. This man’s understanding of the male body silhouette and what works on it is just spot on, as evidenced by the excellent results of his draping, cutting, detailing and choice of materials. Not to mention the high wearability of most of his items. His collection this year featured all models in kefiyyeh-like head covers, coupled with tops or outerwear conventionally-cut or voluminous, many of which possessed freely swinging straps or strings to highlight fluidity. These were worn with pants or shorts, mostly drop crotch or tapered with the narrow pant leg tucked into Juun’s own flip-flop/roman sandal hybrid.
As with my previous posts on the collections, I intend to share selected shots which I consider as my favourites from the runway. The problem with Juun J’s collection is, I can’t decide which photos to share, as I have favourited each photo that I have got hold of. Nevertheless, I will try to condense them to a select few photos.
