Slowly but surely more and more Korean menswear designers are appearing in New York. Not to group them all into one category but just as the Japanese wowed the world in the 80's with their clothing aesthetic, the Koreans are doing the same. There's a definitely emphasis on structure juxtaposed with soft drapes. General Idea's S/S 2010 collection is graphic and urban. I love the shoulder caps prints. My favorite piece is probably the dark blue short sleeve trench. A short sleeve trench! Hell YES!Kudos to designer Bum Suk Choi. More pics after the jump.
The name of the collection is unfortunate.
General Idea is actually the name of an established artist collective that has been internationally active since the late 1960's.
