After designing RTW for Céline (under Phoebe Philo), Louis Vuitton and Chloe, then moving on to win the prestigious LVMH award in 2018 for his debut line, London-based designer rokh has solidified his space among the fashion world. Drawing on conceptual art themes while exploring youth culture, the designer is focused on the reconstruction of clothing, interpreting raw imperfections into avant-garde garments. Staying true to his signature, rokh has re-imagined a selection six classic pairs of ASICS sneakers, via a small capsule collection. After debuting his personal line only last year in Paris, the rising star will once again take the city by storm,  unveiling the custom pieces next Wednesday at ASICS’ PFW event, along with a workshop during the preview opening.
