In 2016, the Parsons and Central Saint Martins trained designer debuted and VFiles, and just last season, she presented a captivating show in New York City’s financial district, inside Century 21. Here, our show notes for the label to watch.

Memorable piece —

Look 8, a hybrid fur puffer coat with a high collar, floral motifs and yellow puffed sleeves. Finally, a new inventive take on the classic puffer.

Remarkable fabric —

Puffer material was used throughout the collection in new ways. In coats of all shapes and sizes, but also as an extension to knee-high boots.

Collection inspiration —

The collection was influenced by extreme sportswear and activewear made for a modern woman. “The Kim Shui Girl takes on the intense reality we live in of survival, while continuing to address elements of chance with a new, dynamic and active collection,” the show notes read.

Potential trend —

Floor length puffer coats gone extreme: with bright furs, leopard prints, or just the puffer material itself worn as sleeves or over boots.

Model moment –

Kim Shui cast an amazing cast of diverse models—all who were asian, ranging from East Asian to India.
