RUNWAY: Wooyoungmi FW18

There's been a changing of the guards, per se, at Wooyoungmi. Is there a noticeable difference? In a way, yes. This FW18 collection, designed entirely by the founding designer's daughter, Katie Chung, was notably younger and felt more open to risk, with giant oversized outerwear, exaggerated collars and quite a bit of punk. There are still strong hints of the South Korean label's signature patterns and tailoring but a heavier emphasis was on the street-inspired designs. Men don't like big changes and the ones here are not life-changing; they are gradual enough and in line with the rest of the industry that the designer and perspective change will have little to no effect on the bottom line.
