Seoul-based Matin Kim masterfully blends minimalism with a characteristic panache. The Korean womenswear label challenges the conventions of understated dressing with a distinctive approach to cut and tailoring. Modern menswear-inspired silhouettes are propelled into postmodern reconfigurations with artfully tweaked constructions that imbue ready-to-wear and accessories with a fresh, youthful irreverence. Elongated overcoats, softly structured jackets, high-rise trousers, and lightweight, neutral-toned knits are quirked up with shrewd paneling and unique finishings. Staying rooted in both the traditional and the contemporary, Matin Kim’s unpretentious, slightly militaristic aesthetic is muted yet striking, ceding little territory to those who wish for clothing to conform to only one standard.
