RECTO CARDIGANS

Korean designer Paiksuk Chung redefines contemporary elegance and functionality as creative director at RECTO. The brand name refers to the right-hand page of an open book: an allusion to the potential of a blank page and the thin divide between gendered aesthetics. The streamlined simplicity of RECTO ready-to-wear—exhibited in heavy cotton dresses, structured blazers, and tailored shirting—defines the brand’s tasteful, wearable, and versatile collections punctuated with modified collars, self-tie fastenings, and extended hems. Sartorial refinement is juxtaposed with eccentric accessories that boast bright colors, intense volume, and sculptural detailing. RECTO’s wearable collections ultimately inspire elegant comfort, creative styling, and playful embellishment.
