London Fashion Week 2023: KWK by Kay Kwok FW23

Words Bethany Berkeley

Amidst a storm-like runway, KWK by Kay Kwok presented his AW23 collection for his eponymous brand KWK. Show goers were sat in an underground industrial space with minimal lighting, whilst the atmosphere was filled with a smokescreen giving the effect of a sand storm. The collection itself reflected this as models were classed in distressed and deconstructed designs in muted hues. The techno-inspired designs were made up of slouchy metallic thigh-high boots, low-waisted trousers and oversized coats with strong shoulders. Mesh played a big part in the collection in panels, sheer tops and draped around overshirts. Balaclavas, a trending favourite of recent also made an appearance in the collection paired with hooded maxi dresses. Standout pieces included a brown leather jacket and trouser two piece, monogram denim jackets and a jumper dress with mesh overlays.
