The Spring/Summer 2013 collection and look book images from Korean designer Cy Choi puts me in a position I wish I faced more often: so many good images of such looks that I can’t easily decide which to put in the main image. As always, the designer delivers and does so brilliantly.

Says the designer: “Spectrum: the spectrum is the range of different colors which is produced when light passes through a glass prism or through a drop of water. A rainbow shows the colors in the spectrum.

Collision & Resistance: the light should be passed throughout a prism to get the spectrum. In the process, the light collides with the prism blocking the way of it. Here’s a resistance; colliding two objects try to maintain their attribute. As a result, it may be created something new or erupted subconscious possibility. Resistance from the collision inevitably generates creative energy.

Refraction & Diffusion: It is formed and comes in sight of refraction and diffusion, from collision and resistance. This activity has a similarity to Dialectics;thesis, antithesis, synthesis. The former is about the movement of objects, and the latter, the development of thoughts. Synthesis includes the resistance between thesis and antithesis, unifies two, and finally creates new idea. Like this, the refraction between collision and resistance spreads the creative movements.
