Zip Me Up After You're Finished

Not my words but Jaeha's. Jaeha Alex Kim is a New Zealand fashion designer showing his first collection in A/W 07. His latest collection tells the story of the Jaeha girl - tired of being let down, who's had enough of the apologies and knows that enough is enough. With that she packs her things, stuffing them into bags, pulling and pushing the zip over her full bag and while doing so becomes more thick skinned and stronger herself.

Kim incorporates the zip heavily into this collection which served as the main inspiration along with Edward Scissorhand himself. Kim had the models during his show at the NZ fashion week looking like Edward's long lost family (and all that time he thought he was alone!!) as they sported scissor hands too.
