Yoox launches collection with Sharon Cho
Yoox has partnered with Yooxygen Award winner Sharon Cho on a sustainable capsule collection.
Created during Cho’s six-month internship at Yoox’s headquarters in Milan, the Sharon Cho x Yoox collection includes suits, coats and trousers for men and women in fabrics made from materials such as recycled plastic bottles and eco-friendly produced wool.
With a strong focus on tailoring, the collection’s jackets are made with detachable panels to enable the wearer to adapt the lengths to suit different occasions. In addition, unique embroidery such as Cho’s signature origami tessellation design decorates the back of each garment.
Cho said: “My goal was to design a collection that allowed the consumers to achieve more for less. Garments made of sustainable fabrics, which can be styled in various ways for multiple occasions, not only require for less clothing in the closet but also provide an opportunity to make a positive impact in this fashion industry by promoting sustainability.”
Items in the collection are priced from $139 to $684 and are available on Yooxgen from mid-September.
