I've been a fan of KYE since the first time I saw her collection way back in Sept 2012 during the Concept Korea presentation. Her collections always have a cool edgy vibe with a hint of sophistication that recently caught the eye of Rihanna and landed 2 Chainz across from me at the show. So of course I was excited to see what she created for the upcoming Fall 15 line. KYE catches the symbols and images of luck - trump, fruits, tokens, 7s and slot machine emblems - with its usual sense of humor by displaying them on various parts of the collection.
More about the collection:
KYE presents different types of color palettes for various effects and introduces new techniques in pattern-making: the “grass” embroidery, acrylic studding and customized ribbing. Materials also reveal diverse sources, including manipulated velvet, cotton, faux fur and denim. KYE delivers the fashion’s symbol for the losers by offering new retro styling in contrast to its usual experimental offerings in previous collections. Perhaps, this points to KYE’s new direction in its fashion business.
The show featured music by The Misshapes, styling by Lysa Cooper, makeup by Dick Page for Shiseido, hair by Matthew Curtis for TRESemme and nails by Rose Velez-Miggins for Tat’z Nail’z. All images by Randy Brooke
