Rejina Pyo opted out of the official show schedule earlier this year to prioritize the opening of her London flagship store. For fall, she shot her lookbook herself at Pegwell Bay on the English Channel.
“I wanted to take the Rejina Pyo woman to the countryside,” said the designer of the collection’s mood. “It’s about letting loose—being wild and carefree, but also allowing space for vulnerability.” Voluminous party tops and dresses featured detachable giant bows as sleeves made out of a metallic laminated technical fabric; they’re notably waterproof, should one take the soirée outdoors. An ivory off-the-shoulder organic cotton blouse with extra-puffy sleeves would be another excellent choice for a night out.
Her tailoring here leans mannish, in boxy wool silhouettes with pleated trousers. Twin sets make an appearance in the form of an iridescent viscose blend button-up shirt and a matching maxi skirt (one was in an outstanding crimson). Another moment includes a denim jacket and pants set adorned with a photo print of galloping horses (captured by Pyo during a vacation in South Africa in 2016). An ultra-soft camel hued coat, almost resembling “a luxurious bathrobe,” was constructed out of a wool alpaca blend.
The shoes and accessories were in line with the outdoorsy theme of the collection. Knitted neckerchiefs, scarves, and beanies—all crafted from responsibly sourced Peruvian alpaca—added a cozy touch. However, the smile-inducing highlight was the cowboy-inspired kitten heel boots, which combined playfulness with an understated, contemporary vibe.
