Toeing the Line–Citing Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler as a reference for the season, Siki Im took a dark turn for his latest showing. A novel of many stories interrupted by the reader, Calvino’s work inspires Im in pursuing a somber hued collection, fragmented by the individual piece, exploring several cuts and finishes. Blending structured elements with more draped silhouettes, coats, wraps, trousers and jackets toe the line between classic and modernist, resulting in a strong showing with a practical heart, boasting pieces for the conservative eye as well as the more trendy.
