We love local LA designer Joel Knörnschild. We have for a minute now. From his designs all the way down to the concept behind the line, KZO has had our attention since we first laid eyes on his work. Each season’s collection is designed with a cinematic process, beginning with a video treatment, soundtrack, and visual storyboards. If there is such a thing as “Cinematic Fashion” Joel Knörnschild has his finger on it. I just noticed this hiking-inspired Alpine Backpack on the Blackbird Ballard site. I love the wool and leather combination.
