About the brand
The South Korean menswear label unites avant-garde sportswear with futuristic outerwear, creating a fantastical collection that exists on the fringes of the fashion landscape.
Post Archive Faction (PAF)
Why resort wear?
The trend of heavy, tech jackets has passed, and people need the chill and relax especially after COVID-19. A collection to wear on a breezy and chill Mediterranean island trip. Being able to have the layering and aesthetic while keeping the breathability and functionality with the resort collection.
