Last week, Highsnobiety teamed up with MACHINE-A / SHOWstudio, H. LORENZO and D /ARK /CONCEPT to launch South Korean fashion designer KANGHYUK’s inaugural collection.

The rising designer first came into the spotlight after graduating from the Royal College of Arts in 2016. KANGHYUK is known for his innovative designs made from airbags — he painstakingly dissembles airbags from oxygen tanks, reworking them from their original patterns into looks that are both ethereal and utilitarian.

@SHOWstudio/@machine_a collaborates with @h_lorenzo and @_d_ark to present @_kanghyuk! KANGHYUK is launching exclusively online at the SHOWstudio e-store and in store at MACHINE-A tomorrow 20 April 2017! An in-store installation and event will also take place at H. Lorenzo Gallery, LA from 7-10pm in partnership with @highsnobiety. Here @nick_knight captures @d.avidyang with styling by @htwnldn, hair by @natalieshafii, music by @akirawoodgrain and edit by @raquel_couceiro_. Visit @showstudiomachinea tomorrow to shop the collection!
