But have you met our Fall/Winter 2023 headliners, Minjukim and Kimhekim?
Long-time favourites here at societyA, these two South Korean powerhouses certainly didn’t disappoint with their newest collections. Each collection delivered a stellar lineup of styles that inspire us just as much as they make our jaws drop. Continue reading as we go deeper into the collections of our undisputed Fall/Winter 2023 headliners, Minjukim and Kimhekim.
MINJUKIM FALL/WINTER 2023
An already well-known name in Seoul, designer Minju Kim is a headliner in her own right, garnering global recognition with multiple accolades under her belt, including being the first winner of Netflix’s “Next in Fashion.”
Since launching in 2015, her brand has stood out with its avant-garde couture aesthetic and youthful exuberance. Her imaginative collections combine bold silhouettes with feminine characteristics and an overarching element of joyfulness.
As one of our headliners this season, the Fall/Winter 2023 Collection by Minjukim, named “LOVE BRAVE DREAM,” embarks on a journey from her past creations to the present. Every piece is an ode to the brand’s heart and soul, blending past triumphs with fresh visions.
Among the standout pieces this season is the Tailored Short Jacket in Check Print, a representation of modernity and classicism. With its mannish silhouette and the newly created FW23 Bari Flower check pattern graphic, it encapsulates the brand’s distinctive aesthetic.
Another highlight is the Corset Buckle Maxi Dress, a testament to Minju Kim’s ability to redefine conventional fashion boundaries. This dress, made of comfortable wool and adorned with a signature self-made buckle, effortlessly marries elegance and edginess.
The Big Bow Long Dress in Pink, constructed from rustling taffeta, is an artistic interpretation of the season’s theme, transforming into the shape of butterfly wings via the ribbon string. It is a piece that radiates luxury, character, and creativity.
This season, Minju Kim’s muse – women filled with ambition, heart, and courage – echoes the brand’s dedication to championing love, bravery, and dreams. The garments chosen for this collection resonate deeply with the brand’s ethos. Love, bravery, and dreams aren’t just themes; they’re emotions, intentions, and messages that MINJUKIM hopes to convey to every individual wearing the collection.

KIMHEKIM Obsession N°7
KIMHEKIM’s vision for Fall/Winter 2023 shines brilliantly in the Obsession N°7 Collection, “Link Up”, now available at societyA. The designer, Kiminte Kimhekim, is known for his distinctive meld of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary appeal. With “Link Up,” he revisits and reinterprets various wardrobe staples, infusing them with unexpected details and high-end finishes.
A perfect illustration of this season’s innovation is the Scarf Shirt Dress in White. Departing from conventional designs, this dress captures attention with its unique pearl button details, allowing for a distinct one-sided wear. Part of the designer’s Venus Series, it becomes an emblem of daytime sophistication and versatility.
Next, the Monroe Mini Dress in White stands as the epitome of luxury. Crafted from a lavish blend of silk and wool, the dress seamlessly incorporates sophisticated ribbons, embodying the essence of the collection’s theme. It’s not just a dress; it’s a statement, reminiscent of the artistry and themes found in the “Hymne à la Perle” Collection but advancing in a new direction.
No collection would be complete without a touch of bold elegance, and the Pearl Buttons Wool-Blend Bustier Mini Dress in Black provides just that. Its fitted silhouette, coupled with the intriguing nine-pearl detail down the front, offers a blend of modernity and timelessness. Every detail, from its fabric to its design, speaks of the collection’s devotion to luxury and innovation.
While these pieces are exceptional, they represent only a fraction of what “Link Up” has to offer. As with every KIMHEKIM collection, Obsession N°7 challenges conventions, beckoning us forward to explore new horizons in style.
