Only July 14th, Concept Korea - a global project that publicizes Korea's fashion culture throughout the world since 2010 - showcased two menswear designers at the first New York Men's Fashion Week at the ArtBeam.

The spring 2016 collection which was titled 'Loner' and according to the designer - his idea for the collection was based largely on a boy's imagination. Despite the few printed items related to the imagination part & a few somber pieces - I thought the title was illogical to the clothing itself. I still enjoyed this collection though! I could see myself wearing a few of the dope shirts/jackets and pants. Definitely street-wear worthy.
The second collection we saw was by Ordinary People, designed by Jang Hyeong Cheol. For this season, Ordinary People focused on the classic form of fashion, yet still encompassing sportism.
The collection titled 'Active Maestro' is an active artist. Active and sporty looks were presented with artistic and delicate technics . The concept of Active Maestro - was described as the revolution of sportism. Through the formal suits and t-shrts of menswear, delicate details of zipper and artistic graphic designs; Ordinary people showcased a unique look at sportswear and loungewear combination.
