KANGHYUK
KANGHYUK is a South Korean fashion brand founded in 2016 by designers Kanghyuk Choi and Sanglak Shon. The brand is known for its innovative approach to fashion design, with a focus on upcycling and creating unique garments from unconventional materials.
KANGHYUK's recent collabs with Reebok have put them on the map for a lot of Americans, but the brand helmed by Kanghyuk Choi and Sanglak Shon has been making waves since 2017.
In a 2019 interview with 032c, the team said that "Our design process focuses on using materials in their purest form." This is a through-line in all of their design work, as material is emphasized in both their garments and installations, often taking inspiration from iconography not associated with fashion.
KANGHYUK's collections often feature futuristic silhouettes and technical fabrics such as airbags and seatbelts. The brand's designs are influenced by various themes such as sustainability, functionality, and technology. KANGHYUK has gained a strong following among fashion enthusiasts and has been featured in various fashion publications.
In addition to its fashion collections, Kanghyuk has collaborated with a range of other brands and artists, including Nike and Reebok. The brand has a standalone store located in Seoul as well as international stockists in countries such as Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The brand also sells its clothing and accessories online through its website.
