A forward thinking aesthetic
Founded by designer Woo Young Mi, WOOYOUNGMI was launched in Paris in 2002 as a designer menswear label with an international focus. Madame Woo was the first designer of pret-a-porter menswear in her home country of Korea. With designs that broke through the ubiquitous conservative style of the time, she was a pioneer of a now dynamic menswear market.
“The beauty of designing for men—a small, subtle, difference makes all the difference, transforming a classic coat, for instance, into a work of art”
WOOYOUNGMI was born of an ambition to create innovative, fashion driven clothing, at an international level. A member of the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Mode Masculine, WOOYOUNGMI is an established name on the official menswear schedule.
