“I am dressed in a vintage leather halter top, vintage shorts I found in my grandpas closet that were part of a tux, (I took them in a bit), my favorite 60s suede patchwork coat from Metropolis Vintage when I first moved to NY and 90s Italian leather boots I thrifted. I am currently inspired by sustainable fashion and my grandparent’s closets. Anything 60s/ 70s tugs my heart strings and also the pieces from the 30s which were surprisingly similar in style. I like to wear things that have a story and have met a lot of friends from the outfits I’ve worn.”

“I’m wearing a Dries van Noten coat, vintage leather jacket, Dior button up, thrifted flared pants, Camper shoes, and a Louis Vuitton scarf that’s also thrifted. Right now my style is inspired by Eastern European grandmas.”

“I’m wearing my own creations as I am Hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) tailor: traditional pattern Jeogori (top) and Baji (pants) in modern fabrics with traditional Korean shoes, tassels and ornaments called Norigae and Goreum and a modern version of the traditional Korean hat called a Ga. My outfit is inspired by 1840s European fashion pattern mixing.”
