Kuho finds its form in architectural minimalism

Kuho’s approach to fashion begins with architecture. Lines, planes and the spaces between them inform a design language expressed through considered silhouettes, sculptural proportions and a precise interplay of material and form. For A/W 2026, Wallpaper* filmed a showcase of key outerwear pieces from the Korean label’s collection in the home of London-based designer Charlotte Taylor, whose interiors offer a natural counterpart to its philosophy of architectural minimalism.

Known for her distinctive approach to interiors and objects, Taylor’s own home sees clean lines meet unexpected details. Grained wood, collected objects and carefully arranged compositions bring personality to an otherwise pared-back setting, creating an environment that feels as considered as it does lived-in. The film offers a glimpse of her collection of miniature furniture and books, antique knives and objects that reflect her creative practice while adding further character to her home.

It is a fitting setting for Kuho’s visual language. Rather than competing with the architecture of the home, the collection sits in dialogue with its surroundings. The relationship between space and clothing brings the brand’s approach to structure into focus, allowing silhouette, texture and proportion to take precedence. Taylor moves from wearing a reworked take on the classic white shirt to a series of enveloping outerwear pieces.

At the heart of Kuho’s design philosophy is an interest in the relationship between the body and the garment. Architectural tailoring creates space around the figure, balancing straight lines with softer curves to give each piece its distinctive shape. The result is clothing defined not by excess, but by the precision of its construction and the details that emerge through restraint.

This sensibility is particularly evident in the brand’s outerwear, from the signature ‘Cashmere Icon Coat’, worn by Taylor, to the collection’s other considered layers. Here, material and silhouette take centre stage, with each piece offering a different interpretation of Kuho’s relationship between form and function.

Seen through Taylor’s creative world, architectural minimalism takes on a more personal dimension. Fashion, interiors and objects become part of the same visual language, with character emerging through the details and the well-balanced arrangement of individual elements.

For Taylor, minimalism extends beyond sparsity and simplicity. Her favourite objects often stack or interlock, creating layered compositions that feel playful yet considered. This approach finds an echo in Kuho’s A/W 2026 collection, where sculptural silhouettes and precise construction reveal the expressive potential of form.
