Another one of our favorite menswear designers — South Korea’s Juun J. — has just sent us images from his Fall/Winter 2010 collection and it’s hot!

The former Club Monaco designer, branched out on his own in 1999 and has shown during the Seoul Fashion Week until 2007 when he began showing in Paris. He has also collaborated several times with the Japanese artist Nuts and the English artist Simon Henwood.

Juun J. likes to create new silhouettes and garments from an overlapping of items and silhouette to silhouette all of which dramatically conflict with each other. Shirts and cardigans, knit sleeved jackets and knitwear are overlapping each other and newly born as different items. Juun J. likes to mix and transform classic items with street fashion.

Check out the runway pics from Korean menswear designer Juun J. His style is classic and the pieces are very tailored, with a hints of street and bohemian style mixed in.

Graduated from Esmod Seoul in 1992, Juun J began his career as a designer for Chiffons followed by design director for Club Monaco and NIX. In 1999, he launched his brand Lone Costume and has shown it during the Seoul Fashion Week ever since.

He has collaborated several times with the Japanese artist Nuts and the English artist Simon Henwood and most recently designed a pair of slick, black sneakers for Reebok. In July 2007, he showed his collection during the Official Schedule of the Paris Men’s Fashion Week for the first time.

Juun J likes to create new silhouettes and garments from an overlapping of items and silhouette to silhouette all of which dramatically conflict with each other. Shirts and cardigans, knit sleeved jackets and knitwear are overlapping each other and newly born as different items. His basic design concept is Classic & Tailoring; and, like many designers of his generation, he likes to mix and transform classic items with street fashion, which can be seen in his Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

For more information, check out Juun J’s site, where you’ll find videos from his past three collections, including the Spring/Summer 2010 collection shown in pics below.
