Designer Yoon Chang of Whistle & Flute shares what roused her inspiration for the F/W 2011 collection.

“Normally, I’m mostly inspired by proportion and fabric. I’m not one to use a theme to create a collection,” Chang begins. “But this season, the fabrics willed a story. I think it was the faux badger fur that did it!” She laughs.

“My inspirational woman is this restless shepherdess in the middle of nowhere in England,” Chang further explains. She passes her time away listening to the jam, ska music and soul records willing her life to transform itself into a more glamorous and wild one. So she customizes and cobbles together her fantasy wardrobe and runs away to London to live the life in a metropolis.”

“A little insane, right?” she jokes, “but you’ll get it when you see the pieces-it has a mod and boho feeling to it.”
