I love the shape of those blazers...with the banded collars that resemble certain military jackets. And some of the detailing is lovely too.

Thanks Anna K* Very positive looking stuff on the menswear front.

ah, thanks, cerfas, you're great. i'm merging them all but i think i will keep my title ... i noticed that she's often referenced as wooyoungmi in the internet but i've always read woo young me in magazines, makes searching easier, maybe....

and you're welcome, scott

You're welcome, anna ! I think Woo Young Mi is the correct spelling, firstview always spells designers' names wrong, hehe

I like the pictures posted by Anna, yes, they look quite nice. I've known this designer for a while but haven't been able to check her entire collections regularly.

This thread reminds me of another Japanese designer, Masaki Matsushima. I don't mean they have same or even just similiar styles since I don't really have much knowledge of this Korean designer. But one thing they have in common is that their names apprear in Paris Fashion week schedule almost every season. I think one problem with these sort of second-tier designers is that their design are interesting but not consistently good. For example Masaki Matsushima, his 04F/W menswear collection is really beautiful (which could be checked on firstview), particularly those military-inspired coats/jackets, so lovely! Too bad it's simply impossible to find his clothes in the US and almost nobody in the stores even in New York knows him. But then next season, it's really bad, something that could bore you to death.

There are so many good fashion designers in Japan or Europe that should be introduced to the US. Even just from the schedules of Fashoin week in Milan and Paris every season, there are so much treasure needed to be explored. They are not ground-breaking, but definitely interesting and good alternatives to those big names either in high-end or lower end fashion. People think Ann Demeulemeester is edgy, avant-garde, but my goodness, she's been a veteran in the business for almost two decades, and almost a household name to fashion lovers in Europe, Japan or even in Hongkong, how could she still be considered as avant-garde?

Too bad in the US, the fashion retailing scene anywhere outside the limited number of major metropolotan centres in the US is simply blank but stuff like Gap/Banana Republic. And even in places like New York, too be honest, the choices are also quite limited. I don't know much about women's stuff, but to men, it definitely is.
