Dear Shaded Viewers,
I was impressed with Soulpot Studio's last show, making it one of Seoul's most directional and engaging proposals. Inspired by Zaha Hadid's controversial DDP building -which was recently opened in the center of Seoul- she reproduced several areas of the city with her pieces, which had deliberately unfinished hems and raw edges. The collection had a poetic and powerful charge, as well as an abstract quality, which is not often seen in Korean fashion. Su Jinn Kim was trained as an artist and I loved her storytelling skills, which gave her artfully deconstructed clothes a special and moving appeal.
Best,
Philippe
