Academy Of Art University Runway: Dahae Kim Cuts The Edge Of Menswear
Posted in: Uncategorized  | If James Bond had a young, hip son that adored the likes of Nice Collective and John Varvatos, but wanted to wear a perfect marriage of the two, he’d have to go to Dahae Kim. From the moment her boldly-hued red suit came out on to the runway, the crowd knew they were in for a treat. Popping with structure and more-than-meets-the-eye detail, Kim’s collection has an urban operative vibe that is in tune with contemporary fashion. It’s sleek. It’s sexy. It’s now. Best of all, it’s a nitrous boost of innovation that can easily carve its way into the world of modern menswear. Each look that came down the runway was thoughtful and injected with a mix of rockstar, hipster and dandyism. From afar, the coats and blazers that stomped their way down the runway (in some adamant-looking combat boots I might add) looked simple-chic, but up close, the detailing is immaculate. Seam lines and collar manipulation keep sartorial senses tingling while strategically placed zippers and atypical menswear silhouettes marched down the runway with a modest, yet unapologetic intensity. With her inspiration of disarmament and demilitarization, Kim is right ahead of the curve when it comes to men’s fashion. Don’t forget to check out the slideshow to see more of her work!
