In case you didn’t know, we love new designers. Enter Korean born, Brooklyn based Sunghee Bang. After winning top prizes at FIT for Art and Knitwear and stints at McQueen (her prints were shown in the S/S 2009 collection), Bang debuted her first collection for S/S 2010 and was immediately picked up by EVA. Drawing inspiration from Astronauts and Samurais, Bang’s S/S 2011 is a tour de force. From her gray and white plasma print racerback tanks to her other worldly metallic hard detailed belts and zippers (we’re a stickler for detail), Bang combines classic tailoring with harsh imagery. Don’t want our opinion check out what Time Out NY said.
Bang’s signature patternmaking and knitting is a revelation. Hence why we file her under “brands we lust”, now please check out more from her magnificent spring 2011 collection and gag!
