For Fall Winter 2025-2026, Rok Hwang’s collection for Rokh unfolded like the layered remnants of a 19th-century maison in mid-renovation—a poetic interplay of history, structure, and transformation. Embracing a raw, deconstructed aesthetic, Hwang challenged conventional tailoring by fusing archetypal trench coats and suiting with zippered panels that invited garments to be peeled away, reshaped, and reimagined.

The collection revelled in contrasts: classic silhouettes were disrupted with ballooning chiffon capes and sculptural bubble skirts, balancing architectural precision with an air of fluid rebellion. Where many leaned into minimalism this season, Hwang leaned into complexity, proving that in fashion, it is the outliers who drive innovation.

Menswear took on a subversive edge, with traditional flannel coats and structured jackets sliced open at the midriff and chest, revealing glimpses of skin beneath their meticulous tailoring. Paired with high-waisted bootcut trousers, these pieces offered a fresh take on masculine refinement. Meanwhile, eveningwear became an extension of Hwang’s signature deconstruction, as tailored jackets unraveled into sleek, asymmetric black dresses, their sharp lines softened by unexpected drapery.

Edwardian micro-florals crept across trench-bubble hybrids, adding a delicate, almost ghostly femininity to the collection’s otherwise assertive silhouettes. Among the standout moments was a dramatic black gown with a voluminous, high-shine ball skirt—its glossy, crinkled surface first resembling discarded plastic before revealing itself as luxurious techno-velvet, tapping into the rising neo-gothic sensibility.

With a masterful blend of tradition and subversion, Rokh’s latest collection was both an architectural study in dismantling fashion’s past and a visionary step toward its future—layered, transformative, and unapologetically bold.
