The slick, futuristic lines and sculpted leather cut with silk fringe and his Asian model muses makes for a label that screams FASHION and gives a damn. レオナルドウォンのコレクションはガレスピューのようなアヴァンギャルドで構築的なデザインとウォングカーワイのような西洋的なセクシーさを融合したような感じ。レザーカッティングされたモダンなラインのスリックと、シルクのフリンジ、それにアジアンモデルのミューズがこのレーベルのファッションを主張していて、目立ってる。
