This F/W collection, under the concept 'Quiet Riot: Capitalism', focuses on the designer's perception that 'fashion' lies on the boundary between art and commerce, and on the industry's need to sell its creations to consumers to become a sustainable business. Designer Kwon Bong-seok stated, "Running BLR has deepened my contemplation each season between my artistic philosophy and consumer needs. The expectation and anxiety over growth that has enveloped my life and surroundings have pushed me to create my own new capitalism, making the invisible answers increasingly clear."

The overall mood of toned-down colors, with materials like denim, cotton, leather, nylon, and wool, created a heavy atmosphere, focusing on comfortable and cozy silhouettes rather than simple ones. Additionally, the brand was recognized for its high quality and uniqueness through new attempts, such as collaborations with the sports brand Reebok.
