Received BA in Fashion and Textile Design from Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea and Worked for Esquire Ltd as a footwear and accessories designer for four years, before starting MA in LCF, engaged in own internet retailers includes footwear and fashion buying and merchandising experience. Overall winner of ‘London College of Fashion for New Look’ project in 2010 during this MA.

This project collection originally inspired by old and weathered elements by time in old city, blocks on the road, rusted pipes and natural materials worked by artisans, defending the aesthetic of aging suffering.

The collection utilizes three main design mythologies that were developed and practiced in studio. The bronze heel casting, leather distressing and oxidisation process of metal, have been continually developed, evaluated and improved throughout the collection, also mostly considered as the foundation elements of the visual and practical aesthetic for this project.

Using ageing techniuqes with natural materials, this project was produced to last a long time and as time goes on the shoes getting valuable, in fact to mature and improve like a Stradivarius violin or good French wine by time. This collection mature and getting old, the history of seeing ideas develop and start again from when producing all the shoes finish to loosing the purpose completely.
