Another Day, Another Life–Ado Les Scents designer Hyun Yeu draws his latest inspiration from George Orwell’s novel, 1984. The 1949 book details a society under the rule of an oligarchic dictatorship. Forced together as an anonymous mass to live for the collective good, individuality is a crime and thoughts are under surveillance. Translating this dark existence into an autumn outing, Ado Les Scents turns to a somber collection where tailored classics are given subtle modern updates for the constant surveying eye. Fusing military influences with garments for the civilian, bright colors towards the collection’s end champion individuality while fabrics such as waterproof cotton detail a careful existence. Winter outerwear protects against the elements with general volume and insulation while inner jackets that can be worn separately provide ease and accessibility. From the one-button blazer to trousers rolled above the ankle, Ado Les Scents presents a strict point of view with somewhat leniency between the lines.
