MINJU KIM SEOUL FASHION WEEK

For nearly eight years now, Minju Kim has been quietly making frothy tulle dresses, plush quilted coats, and other whimsically feminine designs that rank among Seoul’s finest creations.

This season, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp graduate relied on the Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In to push her girlish fantasies to a darker place Think: pastel pink capes printed with snow rabbits and hunting knives, or elaborate laser cut leather jumpers pierced with hoops. Standouts included the iridescent black puffer numbers, which were soft to the touch and came trimmed prettily with faux fur.
