Hyun Soo Kim I




This collection 'Parutions' by Hyun Soo Kim has intricate and complex shaping and structure but the way he has incorporated voile creates the illusion of double exposure and I love this clever use of fabric opacity and transparency.
Hyun Soo Kim was originally a professional dancer in Korea before moving to America. Once in America he became more aware of stylists and fashion and this interest eventually leading to a career in fashion design.
