Last night, designer
Lie Sang Bong held an intimate cocktail party at his New York Flagship Store in
New York City. The event was a prelude to his upcoming Fall/Winter 2015 runway
show during New York Fashion Week. The store features vibrant sky-blue
tiles in the center of the floor with beautiful images of butterflies and
designer’s previous collections. The white three-dimensional wavy ceiling is
representative of designer’s signature geometric silhouette. The store carries
Lie’s latest ready-to-wear and accessories, carefully handpicked by the
designer himself.
Best known for architectural silhouettes influenced by
Bauhaus-influenced geometric shapes, Lie Sang Bong has become one of South
Korea’s most prominent designers in history. His designs incorporate traditional
Korean aesthetics such as Korean poetry and calligraphy. Last season, he
showcased a collection inspired by the emotional state of Korea following the
Sewol ferry disaster, where hundreds of teenage passengers lost their lives in
a devastating drowning accident.
For this season, Lie was inspired by the
scent of peonies trying to express the stirred emotions and a fragile state of
mind. And trust, this collection is powerful with just the right balance of
femininity.
