MEETING SEUNG HEE JEONG IN SEOUL – TEXT BY PHILIPPE POURHASHEMI

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I know that beige unfortunately triumphed last season and that luxury houses are all about good taste and minimal accessories right now, but I got an adrenaline rush discovering Seung Hee Jeong's collection at Seoul Fashion Fair. Her line -named Selene:hee- is made of beautifully crafted bags, with soft, supple skins and incredible colors, using grainy textures as well as interesting details. She looked really stylish and I asked her to show me the pieces she liked the most. Each bag was lined in printed silk.

I really got into a fringed number she made in funky green leather. Korean designers love fringing and it has been one of the week's biggest trends so far.

Best,

Philippe
