WOOYOUNGMI

In 2002, Woo Youngmi became the first designer in Korea to create men’s ready-to-wear clothing. This marked a departure from the traditional conservative style at the time. Youngmi’s own label was launched with a strong spirit, breaking the mold and introducing a refined nonchalance to classic menswear staples. When Youngmi’s daughter, Katie Chung, who studied at Central Saint Martins, joined as joint creative director from 2014 to 2020, the Wooyoungmi brand flourished into a more romantic bohemian style, embodying the contemporary urbanite with diverse interests. Under Chung’s direction, the brand modernized established tropes with a touch of edginess, while still maintaining Youngmi’s signature slouchy silhouette. With Youngmi back at the helm since 2020, her label WOOYOUNGMI continues to be a trailblazer in a dynamic market, skillfully blending masculine and feminine elements to create timeless classics with a rebellious romantic vibe.
