-new post series where I share the highlights of a newly discovered designer’s collections and yes, I’m behind sometimes, I know-

-Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2021: As soon as I checked out Rokh’s collections on Vogue runway and saw THIS masterpiece of a collection, I knew I was about to go all Joe Goldberg over newcomer Rok Hwang’s work. It’s got all the elements I love from some of my absolute faves like Brock and Vera Wang, the whimsical, puritan style bases offset by punk touches that scream Thomasin from The VVitch if she time travelled and became part of a ‘90s riot grrrl punk rock band (in my mind, I’m gonna assume this is what drew Anya Taylor-Joy to the brand). There seems to be a Gucci RTW F/W20 influence too which is a good indicator of style inspo convergence with Rokh and thus a long, one-sided hero-worship based relationship between us on my part, because that was one of Alessandro Michele’s best and arguably the GOAT when it comes to the collections I’ve reviewed since starting this blog. Disclaimer: this series will in general be a photoset only one though I do think it makes sense to start with where the-metaphorical-love affair between a designer and I began. A little Guinevere Beck walks into a “meta-progression of Dan Humphrey”’s bookstore and this is why 3 seasons later about 20 people have been murdered equivalent for your consideration.-

-Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2019: A year after winning the 2018 LVMH Prize Special Prize for his own work (Hwang learnt under Phoebe Philo at Celine! As one does!), London-based, Korean born Rok Hwang debuted at Paris Fashion Week with this collection and it was FABULOUSSS-

-Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2022: YES, ANYA WORE THE LILAC CO-ORD AND IT WAS A MOTHERFUCKING MOMENT! I love that she’s harnessing the ‘60s mod goddess energy she was born with, and I love that she’s getting the hype she deserves, finally!-
