Pulling inspiration from contemporary artist Marc Quinn’s
winter garden where fadeless flowers thrive with vibrant colors even during the
frozen winter, Son Jung Wan conceptualizes a collection based on the ‘Winter
Garden.’
Son Jung Wan’s collection was a burst of color and life,
almost fantasy like, but such a departure from the accepted concept of drab
colors for the winter season. One must admit that this collection is a breath
of fresh air amongst the colorless, drab, sometimes dreary color palettes for
the Fall/Winter collections. Seeing vibrant greens, ravishing red, and mints is
such an inspiration and such a positive reflection of life. Most of us do
associate colors of grey, black, and other muted hues when relating to the
winter months, but Son Jung Wan steps out of the proverbial box and focuses on
the life that remains even during the frozen months.
