leigh fw 2011/12 by sang hyun leigh

After leaving kai-aakmann as team leader in 2007, Korean designer Sang Hyun Leigh has garnered quite a bit of buzz both in Korea & globally since launching his brand Leigh in 2009, especially after his successful SS11 collection during SFW's Generation Next last October. He continues his self-proclaimed 'chic casual' look this season again using a limited palette of grey, black, white, navy & khaki. Tasseled loafers & white or grey socks were worn with flood pants in navy or an eye-catching grey pinstripe with added tuxedo stripe. The wool peacoats with leather sleeves were gorgeous & the zipper detailing on the jackets and a few of the pant ankles were minimal but asked for attention.

/ Themed 'Die Neue Linie" (meaning the New Line) after a German post-war lifestyle magazine, this collection was a reinterpretation military shapes.  Jackets were cleverly reformed into poncho-like vests with hidden, layered pockets.  Beige lace-less shoes made of canvas were worn by all the models and a few outfits were styled with slightly tilted military caps.  The palette of grey, beige, white and black with a bit of navy was soothing. /
