Emily Eun Kim

Collection

The Veil of Silver

This collection celebrates the world of childhood dress-up, a pivotal stage that shaped my perspective on the transformative power of clothing. During my early years, feeling different and yearning to break free from my reality, playing dress-up offered a doorway to immerse to imaginative realms. It was a form escapism.

The heart of my collection lies in the desire to evoke the whimsical and imaginative scenarios that once danced through my childhood dreams. I hope to create a personal haven reminiscent of that innocent joy and comfort, infused with nostalgia. As wearers slip into one of my dresses, I hope to transport them back to a time where there was still solace to be found in the simple act of adorning oneself.
