LIGHTNESS 1. The quality or state of being light or having little weight· 2. An ease and gaiety of style or manner:
Ashlynn Park of ASHLYN honed her refined aesthetic and earth-conscious approach to tailoring as a designer and pattern maker for designers including Yohji Yamamoto and Raf Simons. Park released her first collection, titled "Hibernation," during the COVID-19 pandemic in autumn/ winter 2021. The bodice of this dress from the collection is beautifully cut in deep curves at the waist and back opening. The skirt's weightless volume is achieved using fine cotton poplin tightly pleated and gathered into the waistline and dressed over hip pads-a reference to the pneumatic silhouettes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
