Editor’s Notes: Seoul-based label BLACKMERLE continues its exploration into new methods of transformability and inter- and intra-seasonal interchangeability for SS20. With a focus placed on premium textiles and customized hardware, we see signature shapes refined and redefined.

SS20 finds the Terry Shin-led brand making use of parachute buttons as a customizable mechanism to interchange various garments. This concept will continue to evolve in future collections, allowing you to customize pieces from differing seasons through interchangeability.
