POST ARCHIVE FACTION
Post Archive Faction (PAF) for Men
Founded in Seoul in 2018 by Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jeong, Post Archive Faction (PAF) brings an industrial-design sensibility to contemporary menswear. Engineered folds, asymmetric seams and a deconstructed silhouette define each piece, organised through the label's signature Right, Centre and Left framework that moves from the wearable to the conceptual. The result is quietly radical clothing built with architectural precision and intent. Explore PAF's considered men's clothing, from sculptural outerwear to structured trousers, and discover this forward-thinking Korean label at MARAIS.

The Architecture Behind Post Archive Faction
Founded in Seoul in 2018 by Dongjoon Lim, with co-founder Sookyo Jeong, Post Archive Faction approaches menswear the way an architect approaches a building. Both founders came to fashion from industrial and spatial design, and that background defines the label: garments are deconstructed into their core structural elements, then reassembled with sharp asymmetries, engineered distortions and a precision that feels almost technical. Rather than chasing seasonal trends, PAF releases numbered chapters, treating each collection as an iteration in an ongoing study of how clothing can be reimagined.
The Right, Centre and Left Design Code
PAF's most recognisable signature is its Right, Centre and Left framework. Each collection is divided across this conceptual spectrum: Right pieces are the most wearable and everyday, Centre pieces balance experimentation with practicality, and Left pieces push garments to their most radical, conceptual extremes. It is a thoughtful system that lets you engage with the label at whatever level of adventurousness suits you, from a quietly considered jacket to a fully sculptural statement.
Explore the PAF Men's Collection at MARAIS
Our edit gathers the label's engineered tailoring, technical outerwear and architectural knitwear, alongside the finishing details found in the Post Archive Faction accessories range. Each piece sits comfortably within a considered wardrobe of men's luxury designer fashion, where avant-garde construction meets genuine versatility.
For the Collector of Conceptual Design
PAF speaks to those who treat dressing as an exercise in form and intent. If that resonates, you will find kindred craftsmanship in our Rick Owens Archive, where dark, sculptural silhouettes define a singular vision, and in the Alexander McQueen Archive, celebrated for its dramatic tailoring and theatrical edge.
