Mercedes Benz Fashion Week: Designer Recaps-Son Jung Wan

Inspired by the Isle of Capri, Son Jung Wan designed a collection of separates made of sumptuous fabrics and chic silhouettes. Draped jackets and layered dresses resembling Helmut Lang, were all minimalistic and simply designed. The color palette offered shades of taupe, cream, charcoal, and navy. The designer incorporated subtle details like a fringed shoulder and a snakeskin waist. Among the crowd were celebrities Carrie Preston and Kelly Rutherford, whom I was able to speak to after the show and get a photo with.  Kelly said she "loves the simplistic designs and chic fit to all of Son Jung Wan’s pieces.”  After only her second runway collection, Son Jung Wan is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers.
