Concept

Seoul Reminiscence emerges from the contrast between traditional Korean pagoda-style architecture and the contemporary urban landscape of Seoul, exploring how the modern woman rises between memory and transformation. Inspired by Myeongwol (명월, “bright moon”), a symbol of introspection and rebirth, the collection reinterprets the spirituality embodied in ancient temples and translates it into structured, tiered silhouettes combined with organic volumes that evoke the fluidity and vitality of the city.
