Meet Hyejin Kim, one of the first Busan-based designers to have launched an upcycled collection.

Before moving back to Busan, she spent 20 years working in the fashion industry in London.

She takes inspiration from 80s fashion, which includes chain motifs, equestrians, tassels, ribbons, wild flowers and vintage silk scarves.

It wasn’t until 2019 that she began upcycling her pieces. Kim expressed that when it came to creating upcycled fashion designs, the possibilities were endless.  She upcycles everything from clothes to accessories to home décor.

She has showcased her works several times, mostly in Busan and in Seoul. Here are some of her pieces.

Recently, she released her new designs for the winter season. These designs are mostly made out of dead stock and hanbok cloth.
