Youthful. Playful. Avant garde haute couture. Not necessarily styles you would expect to normally find in one place, but when you look at Minju Kim's designs, you'll be able to see just how perfectly they can work together. A true, raw talent to say the least!
Minju is a South Korean fashion designer known for her use of bold prints and juxtaposition of a vibrant, youthful vibe mixed with unmatched couture detailing. After studying fashion in Antwerp, she "has made her career through designing brave and daring collections with large motifs and a color palette representative of a packet of sweets. She is quoted as saying 'I was unsure which way to go, drawing or fashion. Luckily, in SADI, I found the school that allowed me to do both in a balanced way. After a time of enjoying both freely, fashion became my one dream.' "
In her short time since her first collection hit the runway, she has been awarded several times, from the H&M Design Award to most recently winning Netflix's Next in Fashion.
There are few things we love more than intricate detailing and playful prints, so Minju's designs are our favorite way to comb through the prettiest pictures of our dream garments. Among our favorites? These fun separates that combine the cutest bunny graphic with a tulle and geometric print skirt, this stunning palazzo pant set and this tiered maxidress.
