Jin Kay won the Parsons Designer of the Year award this year and I am not surprised. His designs are exciting, innovative and multifunctional all in one go. I am inspired!
Kay's inspiration was the definition of beauty in the east compared to the west. In the east, beauty is defined by the mystery beneath the clothes, to cover your body entices intrigue. In the west however, beauty IS the body, the aim is to expose and reveal. His collection, I guess, enables both desires. The wearer can be creative with the garments, wear them in any which way they like. The materials used are varied and contrasting, the wool provides a base while the chiffon creates a new dimension, casting shadows, hence the name of the collection.
