Moon Young Hee F2010 RTW

You know I’d never heard of Moon Young Hee but I am loving this collection more than even some of my favourite heavyweights. She’s certainly not designing anything earth-shatteringly new, but the formula works beatifully and it makes my heart race.

….

Hee’s dramatic elegance is fiercely feminine which is something I’ve really pushed myself away from in the last year or so, sartorially speaking. Recently I am finding myself becoming increasingly bitter over how much more I prefer men’s fashion to women’s – but androgynous style is cut for an androgynous figure. I might not have the figure of a femme-fatale but I just can’t pull off the many “boyfriend” shapes that appeal to me.

Hee’s collection reminds me that it’s OK to wear a skirt and feel pretty, while still retaining the strong sense of aesthetic definition I’ve been craving in my wardrobe.

Very beautiful indeed! You have described the collection very nicely too. A Korean desginer?

Love the slouchy ankle boots. The drapey folded structure of the dresses is very aesthetically appealing. It makes me think of a modern day Jane Eyre.

Love the collection, but all the models look awful! Either gaunt or weirdly proportioned. Not that I can talk, possessing no shape whatsoever in manner of whale or similar, but they don’t exactly bring out the best in the amazing designs.

@ Jessy – Thank you! The runway images came from Elle.com! You’ll be amazing – if there was even the slightest possibility that you wouldn’t be, they wouldn’t have given you the job! xo

That first picture with that jacket to me is perfection. I know what you mean also about androgynous style, I have a curvy figure and when I try and achieve the look it just doesn’t sit right or look right on me!
