As part of the launch of LUX FW16, TOPMAN introduces the second instalment from its Private Views series.
The series of films explores originality and creativity through the lens of four emerging taste-makers who each dress in one of the Private Labels. The series delves into and navigates through the unique lives of these young creatives and identifies the original ways in which they approach style.
For the second instalment of Private Views, TOPMAN teams up with Sang Woo Kim to introduce the fW16 LUX collection. Renowned for his own personal style as well as his rising modelling career – the Korean born, British raised fine art student guides us through his style and his artwork. The film gives us insight into Sang’s life away from the lens as we’re given access into his home and art studio and discover his creative influences.
Appearing in countless street style articles Sang’s personal style is perfectly suited to this seasons LUX offering which takes on a more technical direction. In the film, Sang Woo can be seen wearing key styles including a sports inspired concealed collar bomber and matching pinstriped co-ord jogger. Sang also wears a zip through shirt in khaki as well as a longline duster coat teamed with a crisp white shirt for a more formal look. For FW16 garments are intended to be transitional and interchangeable.
