Jung Wook-Jun, designer of Juun J., themed the Spring/Summer '24 collection "Skin", meaning presenting the beauty of the contrast. The brand showcased their collection within the modern atmosphere of Palais de Tokyo, over an almost 100 metres runway.
The Spring/Summer '24
collection is inspired by skinny aesthetics from the 70's, tailoring
from the 80's, and denims from the 90's. We saw looks referring to Martin Margiela's early work, biker
references, work boots and knee pads, including a casual styling of a
jacket around the waist. Another outfit from silver foil, with branding and dates which remind us of Margiela's Spring/Summer 1997
"Semi-Couture" dummy dress. These themes are coming back when the looks
are goin further, using utility style and cuts, a black leather look
with a deconstructed blazer without sleeves, and the motorbike nuances and
details on the bags as well.
The contrast effect in all looks is seen
in maximizing the silhouettes by mixing slim-fitted clothes, tight to
the body, with twisted and exaggereated volume items, emphasizing the
contrast. We have to say the designer is keen to make an impact with
this collection.
“We flawlessly conveyed Juun J.’s essence of contrast within the
captivating halls of Palais de Tokyo, the epitome of Parisian
chic. By incorporating tattoo-style graphics into the ‘SKIN’ theme,
we offer a truly unique and unprecedented fashion experience.”- Jung Wook-Jun, the visionary creative director of Juun
J.
Our absolute top look blown us away due to bright light falling on the silver foil, a catsuit-like piece worn with silver booties and styled with a round silver bag, carried by the model. Another favourite piece we found in the black leather body with turtlenck and "Skin" printed in tattoo-style, on the front. Besides these pieces we were very excited about the 90's inspired trousers, styled with miniskirts, jackets and blouses carelessly wrapped around; biggest trend of this summer.
