Throwback Thursday: Kaal E Suktae Fall/Winter 2014

If this is that, then "this" is all that. I​​​f you caught that Nickelodeon reference, then you’ll get “This is That,” Kaal E Suktae’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection. Translating ’90s grunge fashion verbatim, the Seoul-based designer reworked the unkempt, tattered silhouettes of that time into dramatic, conceptual pieces made for the grown-up misfit.

This High-Low Skirt is that threadbare flannel you used to tie around your waist. This Long Layered Front Fringe Coat is that ripped jacket you wore over every damn thing. This Striped Sheer Turtleneck is that shabby-sexy crop top you wore on a dumpster diving date. Teen spirit coming back yet? Thankfully, the designer cancels out any melodrama with an intoxicating talent for conceptual design. As palpable as the ‘90s may be here, each piece is an individual feat in execution and function (think detachable coats and tall, self-supporting collars), made coherent in a monochromatic palette with spots of deep, moody colors. Even if you’ve outgrown moany garage sounds, this is that sartorial nirvana to take well into adulthood.
