In a captivating showcase at Paris Fashion Week, Dongjoon Lim unveiled the highly anticipated FW26 collection from POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF). Titled “Drifter,” this collection artfully encapsulates the essence of movement and transition, inviting us to explore the delicate balance between the past and the future.
At its core, “Drifter” is a poignant reflection on the act of drifting, a condition in which old archives evolve, and the allure of new classics takes shape. Each piece in this collection tells a story of transformation, echoing themes of impermanence and the fluid nature of contemporary life. Lim’s vision for PAF challenges traditional sartorial constructs and redefines what it means to wear fashion, pushing the boundaries of creativity and design.
Founded in 2018, the ready-to-wear label has quickly established itself as a groundbreaker in the fashion landscape. Dongjoon Lim, a Seoul native born in 1992, began his creative journey studying industrial design before turning his self-taught skills to menswear. His unique approach combines structural innovation with a bold reimagining of form, resulting in garments that are not only stylish but also provoke thought and conversation.
Since its inception, PAF has captured the attention of fashion aficionados worldwide, making significant appearances at esteemed platforms such as Pitti Uomo and Paris Fashion Week. With “Drifter,” Dongjoon Lim continues to foster a distinctive presence internationally, solidifying PAF’s identity as a brand that celebrates the art of deconstruction and the endless possibilities it entails.
As we step into this new season, POST ARCHIVE FACTION invites us to embrace the journey of drifting—transforming our understanding of where we’ve been and where we are headed. With “Drifter,” the future of fashion seems poised for exhilarating exploration, and PAF is leading the charge into uncharted territories of style and expression.
