Donna FW17
“Quietness is the word that keeps resurfacing in my mind when I think of Forme d’Expression. There is quietness in its fabrics. They are luxurious, but never luxe. There is quietness of design; even when Park’s pieces are dramatic, and some of them definitely are, there is a certain restraint to them.”

The life work of couture trained Umbrian designer Koeun Park can be seen in the fragility and the poetic interplay between garment and wearer. Her belief is the two are symbiotic: the garment should never impose. In 2005 the house name Forme 3’3204322896 or Forme d’ Expression was created by decoding numeric orders of the “Helvetica-Fraction” font. Before sewing, each garment is hand cut, fused, marked, and prepped by Koeun.

Forme d'Expression designer Koeun Park was born in Seoul and studied Haute Couture workmanship at the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la mode Parisienne, in Paris, before becoming a Master at Instituto Marangoni in Milan in 1998. She began the label in Italy in 2005.
The meticulous approach to construction, followed by many layers of post work exemplify the brand's philosophy of having the clothing be real, and familiar even before the wearer slips the garment on. Quietly elegant and real, the label aims to create different forms of human expression through fashion.
