Hyun Yen and Charlie May

Two phenomenal brands. Both so high end. Overall love their work. Love it, but, there are somethings that I do not like.

Hyun Yeu, an up and coming high end European designer.

Pros

  • accentuates the masculine side by dabbing with feminine fabrics and designs.
  • wonderful angles.
  • sleek
Cons
  • some of the added shapes, along side his feminine paled of colors are just off putting and throws of the androgynous style that he is trying to go for and makes his work look dated.
  • choice of models- he's Asian, but all his models are white
I love the concept he has for 2013 Spring. Inspired by Istanbul.  Truly remarkable work. The follow is from his Fall 2010 collection.



Charlie May's work is to die for really. The color choice, the angles, the character: all truly exceptional beyond words. The cons? Not many, but there is a thin line between over doing it and style. I noticed it in their biker jackets, maybe it's just be, but the angular shaped jackets with just the few zippers and the buttons. Possibly just me. Although, I wouldn't mind having a few of those jackets in multiple different colors.

Check out this line.

Charlie May, hires designers who are based all over the globe. Many of these designers use a variety of models. It is truly phenomenal. 

I love diversity. Please encourage it in the fashion world. Although, the entertainment industry is changing and accepting more diversity into its midst, the fashion world continues to have the same show playing, with the same cast. Come on it's fashion!!!! It's suppose to be creative, innovative, out of the box, expressive and unique. If the entire line of models are just skinny white men and women year after year...well that's not anything creative, it's just the same old thing. Quite lame.
