HYUNHO Ki is a designer and artist born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, currently residing in NYC. He graduated from Parsons The News School of Design as a BFA fashion design major. Fashion to HYUNHO is a language that is unspoken but portrays a meaning. His work reflects the inner thoughts of the designer, and the wearer and his aesthetic influences comes from the unification of the two cultures he is based off of. To HYUNHO, clothing could be the most direct expression of emotions to the viewers. One sees the clothes first before encountering a conversation in most cases.
His most recent collection, H:AN, is a prime example of his conceptual and spiritual approach in fashion. The collection deals with a Korean term “Han” which comprehensively includes an ambiguous emotion in between anger and grief. He believes that a different form of “Han” exists in every soul but is often hidden and afraid to show explicitly. With the garments of “H:AN” HYUNHO expects one to express their form of “Han” without hesitation with the language of fashion.
HYUNHO is pursuing his ambition as a fashion designer and will move further as a creative innovator that reflects himself and his beliefs in fashion.
