The Seoul style scene is one of the most fashion-forward landscapes today. Every fashion week, some new South Korean fashion labels offer some fresh and distinct designs, and this season is nothing new.

Jisoo Kim founded her womenswear brand KIMZISU in 2019 after studying fashion in Seoul and London.

Taking pride in veering away from mass production, DOUCAN is all about creating intricate fashion pieces and making them wearable. Often inspired by nature, history, art and culture, DOUCAN’s designs are known for pieces with exquisite handmade ornaments with great details.

The label’s signature style is expressed with the form of oversized and transformed pieces, reconstructed and unconventional twisting construction and creative draping.
