Artist's Statement
Yoon Seo Lee, a South Korean streetwear designer, finds inspiration in the overlooked details of everyday life and in the things that happen behind the scenes. She aims to uncover hidden narratives and spark connections through clothing. Her designs blend contrasting elements, embodying duality, and her innovative approach integrates 3D printing into garments and accessories, pushing the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship.
About This Collection:
Yoon Seo Lee’s collection "Smuggler" draws inspiration from individualistic approaches to packing luggage, highlighting the diverse methods people use to organize their belongings. Inspired by her own childhood experiences of hiding personal items (like her pet lizard) from her parents during travel and intrigued by the tactics that smugglers employ, she incorporates elements of concealment into her garments and prints, while exploring personal narratives and clandestine motifs.
