Yahsin Chung's passion for fashion finds its roots in her fascination with clothing, a passion fully ignited during her participation in a short-term program at Parsons School of Design. This love for fashion continued to thrive even as she established herself as an interior designer, interweaving the world of fashion seamlessly into the tapestry of her artistic expressions.
Following a solo exhibition that melded catwalk presentations with innovative spatial designs, Chung felt compelled to embrace her passion and give birth to her own brand. Transitioning from interior design to the realm of fashion, she expanded her creative horizons from spatial concepts to the living canvas of the human body.
The brand's debut collection, "Lonely City," portrays eleven solitary urban scenes. Yahsin Chung's original watercolor paintings and photography seamlessly transform into digitally printed satin, creating a captivating interplay of styles and fabrics. This collection serves as a heartfelt tribute to the bold wanderers who find solace and comfort amid the tranquil moments within bustling cities.
My love for fashion was ignited by my deep fascination with outfits, but it wasn't until my short-term program at Parsons School of Design that I truly delved into the world of garment production. Even as I pursued my career as an interior designer, fashion remained a constant muse in my artwork.
The turning point came after a solo interdisciplinary exhibition that blended a catwalk show with space design. It was then that I made the life-altering decision to follow my passion and establish my own fashion brand. Transitioning from interior design to fashion design, I extended my creative work from spatial design to adorning the human body.
