As the Fall/Winter of 2023 approaches, fashion lovers eagerly anticipate the latest collections from their favorite designers. Among those eagerly anticipated collections is the Rokh Fall/Winter 2023 collection, which promises to be a unique blend of layered and revealing silhouettes.
Designer Rok Hwang has focused on structure and contrast this season, seeking to redefine familiar textures and introduce heightened details through delicate gestures. The collection is anchored by tailored corsets made from fine virgin wool, which set the tone with their decisive and sensual appeal. These corsets are constructed using meticulous tailoring techniques, featuring thoughtfully placed darts, vertical seaming, and internal structures that accentuate the waist.
Meanwhile, heavily washed denim is sharpened using traditional utility construction techniques, with dynamic accents of mixing stone washing and sand washing. The result is a strikingly beautiful texture that is at once familiar and innovative.
Elongated shapes such as structured trousers, sleek twisted jersey dresses, sharp straight-cut pencil skirts, and ’90s-inspired minimal slip dresses are perfectly balanced by sharp tailoring jackets. These jackets are amplified with sensual cut-outs and structured sartorial padding and chest pads. Straight-line silhouettes and slit hems introduce fresh and sensual proportions that come alive with movement.
The accessories theme of “Office Essentials” is echoed throughout the collection, drawing inspiration from common stationery items. There is an expanded range of bags, including a draped file-shopper bag, a rectangular trio-file bag with a 90s vibe, and a spacious file-box bag that strikes a balance between structure and softness.
The predominantly neutral palette is invigorated by a deep mandarin orange accent, which puts the focus on artfully mixed materials and distinctive finishing touches. Raw hems, reverse tailored construction, and twisted drape on sheer mesh silk jersey add to the collection’s unique appeal.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the Rokh Fall/Winter 2023 collection is the designer’s collaboration with Canada Goose and multimedia artist Matt McCormick. Canada Goose brings its performance expertise to the Fall/Winter 2023 collection, with Rok Hwang showcasing his classic yet innovative silhouettes and McCormick’s nostalgic illustrations inspired by western Americana.
The exclusive collection includes Rokh’s signature oversized trench coat, a quintessentially cool cropped down puffer jacket both lined with McCormick’s modern charcoal drawings, a padded jacket and hoodie featuring nostalgic western Americana motifs, and a brimmed hat. Additionally, the collection includes hero knitwear such as a sweater, balaclava, and scarf all featuring the Monument Valley skyline.
