WooYoungMi

WooYoungMi Menswear SS 2013 Collection

WooYoungMi is a menswear line that was created in South Korea in 2002. Her love for fashion started when she was a little girl and her father would bring home decoration magazines where she would study them not even knowing how to read them. Growing up in a time of war, she did anything she could do surround herself in a creative atmosphere. She soon went to the University of Sung-kyun-kwan in Seoul. Architecture is what inspires WooYoungMi and it is what she bases her technique and fashion line around. Her clothes are made with precision and clean cuts, and she respects her line and her love for the human body. In 1988, she became the first women designer for a menswear collection. After her sister graduated with a fine arts degree, she joined the team and together they have created one of the leading brands in Korea. In 2002, WooYoungMI was launched and show in the menswear fashion week in Paris. From then on they continued to grow and now have 24 stand alone stores from Asia to Europe.
