Bright Colors and Construction
First revealed at hisJune 2024 runway show, the capsule explores the dichotomy between macro and micro visions of color, construction, and surface decoration.

Echoing this sentiment, Williams masterfully blends traditional and contemporary elements, creating a new language of menswear. A classic black cashmere overcoat pairs unexpectedly with a sleek grey wool tracksuit, while a refined mocha fleece track jacket adds a touch of casual luxury.
Iconic Vuitton Accessories
Complementing the ready-to-wear pieces are a range of accessories in collaboration with Park Seo-Bo's estate. Wallets and small leather goods feature the artist's signature minimalist lines, offering a tactile connection to his artistic legacy.
