The South Korean-born, London-based designer and founder of Miss Sohee explains why the future of haute couture lies in emerging talent, and how her latest collection is an ode to her grandmother.
“Being sustainable is a responsibility for emerging designers,” says Sohee Park. “It’s why I’m drawn to haute couture—there’s no mass production and only what is necessary is used.” Since launching her eponymous label,, the 25-year-old creative director has not only employed an eco-conscious standard by using deadstock and recycled fabrics, but has amassed a star-studded following that includes Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, and Bella Hadid.
You studied at the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London. What did this experience instill in you as a designer? I appreciate the delicate embroidery, hand sewing and all of the hard work that goes into a single garment because you can feel it when you wear it. It’s also relaxing, almost meditative. I find it soothing sewing on thousands of crystals.
