  1. Blindness is a unisex brand founded in 2016 by Shin Kyu Yong and Ji Sun Park in Seoul. Blindness has made quite an impression in the Korean fashion industry. Many famous fashion magazines like Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Dazed & Confused all gave compliments to designs of Blindness. From the ragged-hem trousers to the slimline leather jackets slipped undercoats as an extra insulating layer, the material was the collection’s anchor fabric.

    Shortlisted as a finalist for the LVMH Prize in 2017, the brand has received critical acclaim since its inception. The brand were nominated for the Woolmark Prize 2020.

    What makes 87MM exceptional? This is a Korean menswear brand founded by three friends - the three supermodels in the Korean fashion industry today: Kim Won Joong, Kim Chan and Park Ji Woon. Keeping up with the growing trend of online shopping in the country, they sought to create an online store and were successful with the idea. After that, with a lot of support from customers, the brand started to open pop-up stores on Gangnam Street and all of the clothes were sold out in just 72 hours. Currently, 87MM is one of the most popular Korean fashion brands in the world. Also, 87MM has been invited to exhibit its collections at Paris Fashion Week.

  6. Designer Han Sang Hyuk founded Heich Es Heich after working as the creative director of a men's fashion label named MVIO.

Heich Es Heich (HSH) is a brand name made off of the first three letters of Han Sang Hyuk's name, HSH, with minor language changes.

    BESLOW

    In 2011 BESLOW was born, with the first men's collection. The brand is always on the lookout for fun, wearable clothing along with simple and casual men's clothing style. An important element of BESLOW collections is for sharp tailoring and versatile essentials. The collections, echoing the values expressed by the brand, are always at the timeless, attractive, classical and natural to details, style and quality. BESLOW is a multi-brand fashion retailer with stores in Korea. On the other hand, the brand is known for its outstanding selection of casual and classic menswear, footwear, accessories and grooming products.


    For Fall/Winter 2018, Beslow’s premium Purple Label collection serves up a variety of laid-back looks, offering youthful twists on wardrobe staples. Bold patterns appear throughout, like leopard print, tie-dye, argyle and patchwork panels. Large parkas and billowing cargo pants create imposing silhouettes, abetted by trim knitwear, boxy work jackets and slouchy hoodies. The elegant blazers, shirting, and cardigans are kept close to the street in washed jeans and track gear, while kimono-inspired jackets bring a trace of traditional influence to the contemporary stylings. Shoulder bags, caps, and scarves round out the collection, providing for a wide range of cool-weather looks.


    ‘Life starts now. We start slow.’ So says BESLOW, a label that concentrates on wardrobe essentials as opposed to on-trend fast fashion.
