Designer Discovery: NKWON


 NKWON S/S11 Collection [images via NKWON]

Let the Alexander Wang comparisons begin! NKWON is a Korean-born, New York-based designer who mixes sophistication and urban edginess in a way that very much recalls the CFDA award-winner.

Modern shapes, geometric cutouts, infinite wearability - check, check and check. NKWON's designs are a bit more feminine than Mr. Wang's, but they still retain that air of downtown cool. And Wang-like or not, there can never be too many options for achieving this kind of edgy simplicity.

  3. I really love this collection/designer. I do see the Alexander Wang similarities, but I think the clothes are strong enough to make an impression. Oh, and I predict Shopbop will start selling the collection. They've been doing a great job of snagging new designers before they become well-known.
