For Spring 2027, Hun Kim, who leads design at Karl Lagerfeld, took a house as his reference: Casa Malaparte, and its severe, pared-back architecture. The result is a set of clothes with strong lines that still have some polish to them. They're precise, but they never turn cold. Kim's real skill here is restraint: the geometry is there, but it doesn't cut. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, this is a wardrobe for anyone who likes a clean line but has no use for a hard one.
