Brands to Watch This Month The who, what and why of this month’s hot list
Kuho
Jung Kuho is a prolific multi tasker. The Korean creative is a designer as well as executive director of Samsung Fashion Week. His label is about a comfortable, minimal elegance in the shape of soft tailoring, cocooning coats and sporty jackets - clothes that slip into your life with ease.
MRZ
Imagine a black knit dress with a swishy pleated skirt, or outsize culottes and a flared sleeve sweater with gradated stripes – Simona Marziali’s clothes make you want to get up and go. This Italian designer is re-inventing what knitwear can be and delivering it with a sporty chic finesse.
Nohke
Designer Mi Sun Jung was inspired by ‘night walking’ in her native Seoul. There’s a romance about staying up all night and she translates that into faux leather kick flare pants, embroidered bombers in midnight blue and asymmetric cotton dresses to approach the dawn.
Gigi Burris Millinery
In this age of individuality, millinery is enjoying a heyday. Florida born Burris crafts her fun-loving hats from the Lower East Side in New York. Hand frayed panama hats remind you of desert island dreams and the hand made flower head bands are just the ticket for celebrations.
