London Fashion Week 2022: 5 Standout Shows by Our Favourite Asian Designers

This marked Korean designer Eudon Choi’s first runway since Covid-19 began. Learning what shoppers are after in these uncertain times has been a learning curve for fashion designers worldwide—though after spending time doing so, Choi suddenly had a change of heart. “Over the pandemic, I’d been working hard to understand what the market really needs because it changed how people live and how people shop,” he says. “But this season especially, I lost interest— and really wanted to follow my heart.”

The designer decided to look to the 1964 Italian film Red Desert, directed by the late award-winning filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni. “The director didn’t have a clear synopsis and improved by focusing on creating really strong visuals.” For Choi, this meant kicking off the collection with reds, like a silky number spliced and cinched at the neckline, then a series of ochre and cobalt ensembles made in his beautifully off-kilter shapes, fastened strategically with delicate string details. “This collection was all about expressing optimism for the future with its a bold, unapologetic palette.” Choi also debuted a new handbag collaboration with the French brand Louis Quatorze. “It’s exciting to come back to the catwalk with something new,” he says. “I always like to add accessories to my designs—it really completes and strengthens the looks.”
