Johan Ku's 2012 SS collection is inspired by "Enter the Void', a French movie in 2009. The collection is featured with glow-in-the-dark materials which is developed by Johan Ku and yarn factories in his home town Taiwan. The special glow-in-the-dark material shows two different appearances between innocent and high-tech.
