Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 05:42:29 PDT

Timing couldn't be more perfect for Macy's next designer collaborator: Doo-Ri Chung. The designer who's known for her beautiful draped dresses and separates - Chung's gorgeous purple dress was worn by Michelle Obama at the state dinner welcoming South Korea last week - will emulate the same aesthetic in her collection for Macy's Impulse line via short and maxi-length dresses, leggings, blouses, and trenchcoats using jersey, knitwear, and art prints. “Women definitely want clothes that are versatile. I love pieces that you wear for day, and when you accessorize, become perfect for evening, too,” said Chung.The collection is set to retail from $39 to $159 and will be available Feb. 15 online and in stores. Check out the slideshow to see Doo-Ri's latest Spring runway collection plus two sketches from her line for Macy's!

2011 Fall New York Fashion Week: Doo.Ri

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 21:58:32 PST

Doo-Ri Chung is known for her signature draping skills but for her Fall 2011 collection seen earlier this evening at Eyebeam Gallery in Chelsea, the designer mixed things up. In addition to showing languid jersey gowns, some slit high to the thigh, the designer introduced a new category to her repertoire: slick tailored pieces comprised of felted wool coats, nylon jackets, and trousers. Dresses, embellished with cool cord macrame also played an integral role in the storyboard inspired by artist Beverly Semmes. This concept, described by Doo-Ri as "linear structure," adds a sharp touch without looking too severe - perfect for that city girl wanting to add a little edge to her look.

Trends: Long silhouettes, mohair trim, high-slit gowns and long skirts, dolman sleeves, sheer and leather inserts, cord macrame detailing.
Colors: Gray, sapphire blue, navy, beige.
Key Looks: A heather gray racerback gown with sheer inserts.
Accessories: Chunky leather woven booties, simple leather bracelets, oversized wool scarves, thigh-high lace-up boots.
Who Would Wear It: Urban nomads, art types.

FabTV — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:13:30 PST

Doo.Ri turned out stunning blue and black combinations, marble and diamond-shaped prints, and even some basic winter staples like the motorcycle jacket and military pants. The biggest runway highlight: a smattering of crystal, beads, and sequins in the most unlikely of places!

Doo-Ri's Lower-End Line - Under.Ligne - Is Here

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:50:22 PDT

We last heard about Doo-Ri Chung's budget-friendly line back in December. Seven months later, Under.Ligne has come to fruition. The current collection has nine pieces - fancy tees, leggings, and draped dresses - ranging from $150 to $495. Not cheap but way less than the designer's main label. Also unlike the main line, Under.Ligne's silhouettes are more simplified and everyday. Now I'm just waiting for Doo-Ri's novel hosiery collection. In the meantime, are you digging Under.Ligne?

Fab Flash: Doo-Ri Shows Off Her Bejeweled Legwear

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:00:22 PDT

Doo-Ri Chung has learned the right pair of tights can instantly transform an outfit. After receiving high accolades for the leggings shown in her Fall collection, seen left, Doo-Ri has decided to launch a hosiery line.

“I would love to use studs or bring something in that could be smooth on the surface,” said Chung. “Legwear is so important because women today see themselves in complete looks, and with how big accessories have become, they see how models are on the runway and that’s how they want to get dressed.”

The Doo.Ri leggings collection will make its debut in the Fall. If her hosiery does well, Chung will consider creating a more extensive line for next Spring.

No longer will we have to admire Doo-Ri's delicate creations from afar. Following in the footsteps of Zac Posen, Doo-Ri Chung has announced a diffusion line slated to launch next year.

“I have been thinking about this for a really long time,” said Chung. “Within my own collection there is a great need to have a wider price range. A second line allows me to do that."

The diffusion line will feature Doo-Ri's signatures patterns, cuts, and draping. Look forward to a cool collection of leather jackets, leather leggings, silk-screened tees, and jersey dresses. Wholesale prices will range from $80 for a top to $475 for a leather jacket.
