rad by rad hourani ss12 @ seoul fashion week

Rad Hourani presented his spring/summer 2012 collection for RAD by Rad Hourani last week during Seoul Fashion Week as one of the only participating foreign designers taking part in the week long event. Previous non-Korean designers to show at SFW include such talents as Damir Doma, Henrik Vibskov and Phillip Lim and I strongly think more non-native designers should be invited into the mix to create a bigger buzz and add even more energy and excitement to the week. Hourani's collection, which was also shown during New York Fashion Week, was neither strickly menswear or womenswear, but rather a unisex collection that saw both male & female models wearing the same black leather heeled boots down the runway along with a mostly black ensemble of ambiguous designs. Here are some of my favorite looks from the runway, many of which were styled with gorgeous thin black leather clutches, again for both guys and gals.

songzio fw 2011/12

Watching designer Songzio's contemporary oriental blend is always a highlight of Seoul Fashion Week.  The look is very polished, both modern &romantic, and the fangirls love it because there is always a Korean actor or two walking in his show - this season he used man with the 'stache Cha Seung Won. Broad shouldered, heavy jackets & wide flowing pants were cinched in at the waist creating a beautiful silhouette using massive leather belts. Leather was also seen in handkerchiefs worn around the neck. The tall, low brimmed hats obscuring most of the models faces and the furry, muppet-like gloves were a personal favorite in this mostly black & grey collection, which featured red as a pop color near the end.
