The craftsmanship
DELL’EST of designer Sung Kim, who has engineering background, pursues the restrained luxurious erotismo mood. It is inspired by the architecture details, such as bolt, steel beam and joints, and Italian style that uses primary colors naturally. The passion, spending most of time on drawing the patterns and cutting the premium leathers, strives for the delicate and luxurious high-end style. It is a provocative woman rather than a cute woman, a woman who is confident enough to express her own color, not bravado, as a muse. He uses materials that have a sense of boldness, such as leather, zipper and other hardware. They express intense rock-n-roll moods and delicate fetish sensibilities.
