JUUN.J Top 10 Show Milan & Paris - New York Times

Having just finished the men’s fashion show circuit in Europe, I’ve distilled the two weeks of catwalking and more than 50 shows (and countless presentations) down to my 10 favorite looks and asked the illustrator Richard Haines to artfully interpret them. In the name of equality, I’ve chosen five looks from Paris and five looks from Milan.

JUUN.J on New York Times for Paris Fashion week F/W 2011

It’s a design student’s trick to sew on an extra shirt sleeve where it doesn’t belong, but the Juun.J collection proves that extra sleeves can work — all you need to do is wear two jackets. The Korean designer took a few different approaches to this. In some cases the two jackets were discrete and separate, in other cases they were connected at their lower edge so the first could be worn normally, and the second worn on the shoulders or carried over the elbow elegantly. Trenches and leather jackets unzipped at the arm hole so that when worn as an outer layer, their sleeves could hang empty next to arms sleeved by the inner layer. (Interestingly, the otherwise sedate Louis Vuitton employed the same trick with a few looks.) On the right guy, all of this comes off as a bit opulent, showy in an awesome Keith Richards sort of way. Jackets are expensive, so if you can afford it, go for two.
