CY Choi, 38, started to study fine art and fashion design at the Hongik University in Seoul and continued fashion design at Domus Academy in Milan, Italy. Right after his graduation, he lived in Milan and worked as a fashion designer and art director both in Italy and Korea. During this period, he launched many new lines and built up a brand identity. Finally he launched his namesake label CY Choi in Paris last year. And this is South-Korean designer Chul-Yong Choi 's sophomore collection. Which is all about 'intejection'. Defamiliarization had him rethink standardized things in the infinite potentiality of ideas. The collection emphasizes time-space and its simultaneity that is made of well-known design elements. CY Choi tried to show aesthetic garments like pieces of structural and spatial fine arts. Some jackets and pants feature 3D pockets. And that's where the interjection actually is : it’s the flow of fashion intersected by the influences of art. Standing above the boundary contiguity of an object, it focuses on the positive aspects. The balance of color and the multi-dimensions of the constructions of the suits and blazers are something new to behold. Leather, wool, denim, cotton, all play a significant role in this process of artistic craft in the form of menswear pieces.
