Miss Sohee SS'14 Couture collection

This collection exists at the intersection of timelessness and the contemporary, mirrored in the study of the female form and the art of sophisticated seduction. The ideas are rooted in corsetry, daring slits and open-back dresses while upholding traditional couture techniques and shapes.

Old white porcelain vases, mother-of-pearl jewellery boxes and wooden fans are translated directly into the shapes of the collection; the vases are seen in the hourglass skirts, mother of pearl is best represented in backless, figure-hugging dresses and handbags. The colour palette for this collection consists of soft jewel tones, reminding me of cherry blossoms and magnolias as they are the first flowers to bloom in the Spring.

"I’ve always found beauty in old, neglected objects. They speak to me on a deeply personal level. The idea of collecting beautiful antiques, with rich and meaningful stories woven into their very essence, allows me to breathe new life into them. The Spring/Summer 2024 Couture collection is greatly inspired by my recent travels to Seoul, as well as my besotted love for giving fresh meaning to things long forgotten, which are subsequently reinterpreted chrough my personal lens."
