JIYONGKIM
Jiyong Kim, a graduate of Central Saint Martins, launched his own brand to address the issue of excessive resource and energy consumption in the fashion industry. For JiyongKim, whose brand philosophy is "sustainability," clothing is a means of highlighting pressing environmental issues. The brand's signature technique expresses color solely through fading caused by sunlight. This method, which consumes no chemicals or water, is an alternative to conventional dyeing methods. Using strings and ribbons to shape the fabric into desired forms, and exposing it to sunlight and the elements for several months, creates unique patterns. Vintage fabrics and hardware are reborn into works with relaxed silhouettes, colored in earth tones. JiyongKim celebrates the great nature by shedding light on slow fashion and sustainable fashion.
