KIMHĒKIM

Paris-based haute-couture brand KIMHĒKIM draws on ancient Korean artisanal costuming to inform its luxurious and elegant aesthetic. A Studio Berçot alum with experience at Balenciaga, the South Korean designer and brand founder, Kiminte Kimhekim, is known for playing with volume and scale—fashioning oversized collars, ribbon appliqués, and neoteric fits. The label’s ready-to-wear maintains an haute-couture elegance through its unique hems and elevated simplicity. Hanbok-style shapes, Renaissance art motifs, and modern constructions are applied to turtlenecks, dress shirts, and trench coats to offer cultivated takes on classic wardrobe staples. From runway to ready-to-wear, KIMHĒKIM creates inventive and playful womenswear that bears inspiration from traditional and contemporary tailoring alike.
