Known for his use of interesting silhouettes and unexpected details and patterns, Korean designer Hyun-min Han of MÜNN presented a multi-layered menswear look with relaxed tailored structures created from a combination of woven wool, selvedge detail, raw edges and cable-knitted wool. The complete outfit included a long wool coat, knitted turtleneck and wide wool trousers, and was paired with a cable-knit muffler and woven wool bucket bag.
MÜNN的韩国设计师Hyun-min Han善于运用趣味十足的廓形及出人意料的细节和图案设计其系列。多层次的男装造型展示宽身的剪裁结构，并由编织毛线、布边细节、毛边和羊毛扭花针织结合而成。本次展示的作品包括羊毛长大衣、针织高领衫和宽松羊毛裤，并配以粗棒扭花编织的围巾和羊毛编织桶型手袋。
“Hyun-min presented a look that was modern and unique,” stated Juun. J. “He incorporated his brand identity and vision strongly into Merino wool, and the final result was one that is international, striking and sophisticated with a casual twist. I particularly liked the delicate selvedge detail that was woven into his coat and trousers, juxtaposed against the chunky knit of the sweater and scarf.”
评审Juun. J表示：“Hyun-min 展示出一个现代、独特的作品，他以美丽诺羊毛为元素，将他的品牌特性和远见展现于人前，而最终产生一个国际化、引人注目和复杂的配搭。我特别喜欢他的外衣和裤子的布边细节，与毛衣和围巾的粗厚针织相映成趣。”
Founded in 2012, Toton Januar and his business partner Haryo Balitar built TOTON on the foundation of Indonesian heritage, celebrating craftsmanship and re-contextualizing traditions. Their winning design explored the versatility of Australian Merino wool by developing and manipulating the fibre with traditional Indonesian methods in order to produce exotically embroidered and textured fabrics, as well as a men’s tailoring-inspired look that would suit southeast Asian climates and support local hand-crafting techniques.
Toton Januar与他的生意伙伴Haryo Balitar于2012年成立了TOTON，品牌基于印度尼西亚的文化遗产，颂扬手工艺和重新诠释传统。他们的获奖设计凸显了澳大利亚美丽诺羊毛的可塑性，透过传统印度尼西亚工艺开发及深入挖掘美丽诺羊毛，制作出富异国情调的刺绣和充满质感的面料，此种面料非常适合东南亚气候，同时也对传承当地手工技艺做出了贡献。
“TOTON achieved a great balance between genuine wool innovation and displaying business acumen,” Christopher Raeburn commented. He added: “The techniques and textures showcased by TOTON made us look at wool in a new way, it was contemporary and relevant; they have the complete package and I’m very excited to see how their collection will develop for the finals.”
评审Christopher Raeburn说：“TOTON的成功在于羊毛创意和商业考虑之间的平衡，TOTON展示的技术和纹理让我们对羊毛的演变有了新的观感，当中充满现代感和相联性。他们各方面均杰出优异，我很期待在总决赛看到他们作品的演变。”
“I am so happy and honoured to have won in the menswear category for the Asia regional of the 2016/17 International Woolmark Prize,” said menswear designer Hyun-min. “To have a taste of participating in such a prestigious global competition, learning so much about wool and sharing what MÜNN represents to a worldwide audience, has made this an unforgettable experience.”
男装组冠军设计师Hyun-min表示：“我非常高兴，也非常荣幸获得2016/17国际羊毛标志大奖亚洲赛区男装组冠军，能参与这样一个著名的全球性比赛，学习到关于羊毛的知识，并向全世界观众分享MÜNN的设计理念，是一次难忘的经历。”
“This is simply unreal,” said Toton Januar after his win. “It’s the first time that Indonesian designers have participated in the International Woolmark Prize, and it means so much to us. We were so excited to explore and manipulate wool with traditional Indonesian craftsmanship, and give greater meaning to ‘people making things for people.” His business partner Haryo Balitar agrees: “We want to make sure we support and promote the unique traditions and age-old techniques of our people.”
女装组冠军Toton Januar胜出后表示：“这感觉很不真实。这是第一次有印度尼西亚设计师参加国际羊毛标志大奖赛，胜利对意义重大。以印尼传统手工艺探索羊毛，我们深感兴奋，并对‘手工制作’赋予更大意义。”他的合作伙伴Haryo Balitar对此表示赞同：“我们要支持并推广印尼独特的传统和历史悠久的技艺。”
