Fashion that awakens ideas of nature, re-birth and flying

...seen at the Spring/Summer 2013 presentation by Lie Sang Bong on 3 November 2012 at Jakarta Fashion Week, Indonesia.

The award-winning South Korean in Paris based designer Lie Sang Bong presented day and evening wear around the theme 'butterfly'. For Lie Sang Bong, the butterfly is the symbol of transformation. In the new collection, the designer transforms retro elements from the 1960s into modern shapes and volumes. The label states on its YouTube channel: "The inspiration came from a sense of nostalgia for 60's fashion and the designer's childhood memories."
