White/Red
Recycled Airbag combat vest from Kanghyuk's first collection after completing his MA program. This piece utilizes Kanghyuk's signature recycled airbag fabrication. Milky off-white semitranslucent nylon marked with the visual artifacts of industrial manufacturing processes create a strikingly futuristic atmosphere.Chunky redchainstitching features as a topstitching accent but is sewn without the top locking thread, leaving loops on the outside as a raw textural detail. Here the airbags take on the form of an M69 combat vest with additional lower and upper chest pockets and a simplified mesh lining. Its cut boxy through the body with open, lace-shut sides that can be adjusted to suit different shapes and sizes, or so it can be flexibly worn both over and under other layers.
