JiyongKim and KOLON SPORT's second collaboration collection officially drops on October 8. Two brands that have each drawn inspiration from nature in their own way turned their attention this time to the traditions of Himalayan Sherpas and outdoor style. Functional materials like goose down and fleece meet JiyongKim's signature layering and pattern work. Garment washing adds what the designer calls 'traces of time.' The collaboration captures nature, function, and temporality in a single garment.
JiyongKim's personal pick for standout detail is the lightweight down jacket. Multiple fabric layers were carefully combined to capture the feeling of sunlight softly seeping through. Two thin layers overlap to create a subtle pattern. The black multi-pocket jacket with hood embodies JiyongKim's signature 'traces of time' philosophy. It manages to hold both utility and narrative at once.
The collection will be presented at a pop-up from October 8 to 15 at the 3F Gallery Space of 10 Corso Como Seoul Cheongdam. Hours are 11 AM to 8 PM. PAP's early try-on verdict: functional outdoor wear has passed through a designer's hands to become everyday clothing. Sherpa tradition is ready to blend naturally into Seoul streets.
