Dozoh, is another South Korean designer whose show I had the pleasure to attend during the Fall-Winter 2018 Seoul Fashion Week this past March. On today’s piece, I will be giving you my thoughts and all the information that you need to know about the designer and his latest collection, “Malfunction”.
Dozoh, under designer Cho Dongwook Jo, stands behind a very interesting idea, stated with its emblem x=0. A message that lies on the mathematical perspective of a formula, in which “x” equals zero. Concept interpreted by the brand as “the answer is nowhere”, implying that for DOZOH there is no set answer in terms of what design must look like. Creating a new canvas in which Dozoh both as a brand or as a designer, do not have to stick to preset standards or follow the existing paths in trends and designs. A brand that aims to create a “unique look” finding the beautiful balance among its main concepts: “Modernism, distortion, sportisim, and wearability”
With a description as unique as his designs, the show did not disappoint. Giving us, the spectators, a collection of a total of 33 looks in which the brand´s main concepts were more than present, on pieces with very minimal, to no use of accessories.
Main pieces constructed on a foundation of very simple and classic patterns, in which the designer created rougher and more forward looks, with the superposition and layering of elements over the initial pattern work that stayed as the foundation element. Patterns that slightly evoked at times the traditional Korean clothing lines used in “Hanbok”, the semi-formal or formal attire that has been a basic foundation of Korean culture and fashion for centuries.
With designs that accessorized themselves, the pieces were the center of attention of the designs, in which the work of the asymmetry in the patterns, was the accessory itself. A collection colored in blacks, whites and neutrals with the occasional bright red or green touches, leaving the rest to shades of grey, blues, camels and beige.
