Lee Jaehwan: Lee Jaehwan’s clothes are always a work in progress, but they sure demonstrate a designer’s mind at work, figuring out the juxtaposition of materials and cuts. He studied at Esmod in Paris, then worked freelance at various French fashion houses before starting his own line in 2008. Since then he has molded the short dress with silk organza and the two-piece suit into his signature looks. Working around the theme of women in flight, he utilized light materials like silk and combined them with artificial materials like plastic. (Like the long sleeved light yellow sheer organza dress with light purple plastic embroidery.) The results weren’t always perfect: The proportion of the grey cropped open jacket with a corset that flared over stretch legging pants looked odd at best, but many of the looks hit the right note.
