When Seoul Fashion Week issued its press release looking ahead to “Korea’s established top designers” on the fourth day of the Fall/Winter 2015 collections, LIE SANGBONG was conspicuously left off the list. This is a travesty for someone like Lie, whose overseas reputation surpasses many of his fellow Seoul Fashion Week colleagues. Of his elegant “Oriental Ink” collection, Lie said, “I wanted to focus on subtlety and to explore the mixing and matching of classic autumnal fabrics in new and fresh ways.” The result was a combination of sharp construction and art, which include floral prints featuring peonies and cherry blossoms. Burgundy was a welcome color throughout, and other touches included detachable and reversible collars.
