“Link Up” est le septième chapitre de notre série OBSESSION - série explorant l’obsession du designer Kiminte pour l’esthétique.
“Transformer de simples idées en véritables objets est un processus très inspirant. Cette collection rassemble mes inspirations principales qui construisent l’univers KIMHĒKIM.”
Dans le but de donner une dimension supplémentaire à la collection, notre équipe Atelier a été formée au nouage traditionnel coréen pendant des mois. L’ajout d’éléments traditionnels donne un nouveau souffle cette saison.
De remarquables robes confectionnées à partir de cordes tressées prennent une place centrale dans la collection, tandis que les iconiques robe de cheveux et robe de soie drapée revêtissent une belle couleur rose beige. Cette saison, l’ADN de KIMHĒKIM est révélée au travers d’expérimentations espiègles.
Les classiques de l’histoire de la mode comme le caban, le costume et le trench coat sont réinventés par Kiminte. Le contraste entre matériaux souples et rigides, ainsi que l’exagération dans les longueurs rendent la collection surréaliste, comme sortie d’un rêve.

Here is “Link Up”, the seventh chapter of our OBSESSION series: Designer Kiminte’s obsession towards aesthetics.
“Transforming ideas into real-life objects is always a very inspiring process. This collection binds my favorite sources of inspiration together to shape the KIMHĒKIM universe.”
In order to add a new dimension to the collection, our Seoul atelier team was trained in traditional decorative knotting for months. Incorporating more traditional traits gives new energy to the season despite the challenge it represented.
Disruptive net dresses created with entwined ropes are remarkable central pieces while the infamous hair dress and draped mikado silk couture dress boast a new pink-beige color. In FW23, playful experiments highlight the DNA of the House.
Beloved classics from fashion history such as the men’s sailor jacket, the tuxedo, and the trench coat underwent a renaissance with Kiminte. The contrast between soft and rigid materials, as well as exaggerated lengths make for a surreal collection seemingly extracted from a dream.
*Many have been asking about the meaning behind our pearl performance of our FW23 Paris show.
For KIMHĒKIM it is a statement.
Pearls on strings represent restricted thoughts and movement.
When the strings are cut, one’s burdens and limits are taken away and you are free to enjoy your true self
After three years of covid, we want to come back more true than ever, creative and free.

’줄에 묶여있는 진주는 생각과 감정이 절제된 모습을 상징하며, 그 줄을 잘라 진주를 흩뿌리는 퍼포먼스로 자유를 되찾아 본연의 아름다움을 즐기는 것을 표현했습니다‘ - @kiminte
