A South Korean in Paris: Lie Sang Bong

Lie Sang Bong is someone to continue watching. He hails from South Korea and has been called a rising star and for several seasons now, as well as the Korean McQueen. This Fall/Winter collection solidifies him as a serious designer.

Lie's collection, mostly black, was futuristic, but wearable. A tight, structured leather jacket with large fur collar is an instant must have. Several leather dresses with flowing capes were surprisingly not over the top.



A woven Samurai inspired jacket with fur detailing is immediately eye catching. Fur skirts, bags, shoes and colored fur vests provided contrast to the sharp lines of tuxedo jackets, corsets, coats and dresses.



Lie did show a bit of color with fuchsia and blue in dresses that looked like soft waves. The futuristic vibe was still there; the soft dresses were shown with matching motorcycle helmets. This woman can go to a cocktail party and hop on her bike still looking chic.



To incorporate these looks into your life, try black tights and booties to toughen up a soft dress, or, splurge on a leather jacket with fur collar that you can pair with almost everything.
