JUNTAE KIM Rewrites the Punk Identity for SS27

JUNTAE KIM unveiled the "Korean Sabotage" collection for Spring/Summer 2027, drawing inspiration from the rebellious spirit and reconstructed aesthetics of Seoul's Dongmyo district. The collection features punk-infused designs, including boro-printed denim, laser-slashed outerwear, and multi-belted leather pieces. Key items showcased in the lookbook, shot on location in Dongmyo's streets, include embossed leather jackets, transformable M-65 coats, and a collaboration with the ASICS GEL-Kinetic FR sneaker. The designs highlight Kim's signature techniques such as patchwork, laser cutting, and corset engineering, reinterpreting traditional garments and cultural codes with an aggressive and humorous edge. The collection's accessories, like punk caps and layered belts, further emphasize an alternative grunge aesthetic, reflecting the continuous cultural collision found in the collection's backdrop.
