Shanghai is a mecca for budding fashion designers — why do you think Great British icons like MACHINE-A opened its first international shop in China’s biggest city, global financial hub, and fashion hotspot? It’s because brands like PET-TREE-KOR exist, and now the Kwanho Kim-helmed emerging name is heading global thanks to H.LORENZO.

Indeed, H.LORENZO is stocking some of the best international brands about. Notably, it carries PET-TREE-KOR’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection.

Here, we find a wool-poly blend Alfalfa coat in gray, serving avant-garde realness with the funnel neck, spiral appliqué, and cut-outs on the sleeves. It’s the perfect outerwear layering item to go atop an Agaric turtleneck, the asymmetrical Trigon vest, or to be paired with a high-waisted cotton broadcloth Alfalfa trousers, complete with its knee cut-outs and adjustability.

Elsewhere, FW23 brings waxed leather pants and a matching jacket, again sporting awkward angles and cuts, and essentials like a hoodie.
