The brand’s vision for the next 10 years is to showcase “The Critique Collection Project” where the theme for each collection stems from Hwan’s experimental artwork and geopolitical aestheticism. Studying the fashion history and pheomenon from 1920 to 1990 and the contemporary fashion, Hwan develops and rebuilds his own statement. 14 S/S SEASON CONCEPT The fifth critique collection “The Liberty Tree” by HEOHWAN SIMUand E.P. Thompson’s The Making of English Working Class. Inspired by Ruff’s photography merging two portraits of the same person at different stages in life into one image, HEOHWAN SIMULATION’s new collection recreates images by combining classical elements high fashion from the 1950s with those of street wear from the 1980s. The collection tells a story about high fashion and street fashion especially in its diverese cuts and volumes borrowed from silhouettes during the 1950s as well as graphic and sportswear details from the 1980s. Through this mixing of classes and images, such as elegant flower patterns and young graphic motives, the designer contemplates and attempts to recreate a new class of wear.
