Recto CLOTHINGS
In her role as creative director at Recto, award-winning designer Ji Yeon Jung redefines contemporary elegance and functionality. The word recto refers to the right-hand page of an open book: an allusion to the potential of a blank page and the thin divide between gendered aesthetics. The streamlined simplicity of Recto ready-to-wear—exhibited in heavy cotton dresses, structured blazers, and tailored shirting—defines the brand’s tasteful, wearable, and versatile collections. Jung’s idiosyncrasies prevail in simple details like modified collars, self-tie fastenings, and extended hems. Sartorial refinement is juxtaposed with eccentric accessories that boast bright colors, intense volume, and sculptural detailing. Recto’s wearable collections ultimately inspire elegant comfort, creative styling, and playful embellishment.
