Another designer part of the Concept Korea collaborative to
promote Korean designers in their attempts to break into the U.S. market, Lie
Sang Bong is a true asset to the collective. Lie Sang Bong uses inspiration
from ‘Dol Dam’ a traditional Korean technique of building walls by stacking
stones of different shapes and sizes.
The technique of ‘Dol Dam’ is applied throughout Lie Sang
Bong’s design clearly in the different sizes between the sleeves, the top half,
and the bottom portion of each piece. In fact in one of the coats, the concept
of ‘Dol Dam’ is reflected as the top portion is more fitted, and gradually
balloons out into a larger piece at the bottom- with a stone print as well.
Furthermore, in one of the dresses the ‘Dol Dam’ concept is literally
interpreted with stone like cut-outs and embossed stone mimicking details.
One is highly impressed with just a few pieces shown in Lie
Sang Bong’s collection, I certainly look forward to a full show by the designer
in the upcoming season!
