NEW YORK, Feb 18, 2015/ — For Fall 2015, Korean Designer Kathleen Kye catches the symbols and images of luck – trump, fruits, tokens, 7s and slot machine emblems – with its usual sense of humor by displaying them on various parts of the collection.
KYE presents different types of color palettes for various effects and introduces new techniques in pattern-making: the “grass” embroidery, acrylic studding and customized ribbing. Materials also reveal diverse sources, including manipulated velvet, cotton, faux fur and denim.
KYE delivers the fashion’s symbol for the losers by offering new retro styling in contrast to its usual experimental offerings in previous collections. Perhaps, this points to KYE’s new direction in its fashion business.
