Sohee Park, A Name to Know!


About Sohee Park

At the age of 19, Sohee Park went to study fashion in London. But, at first, she had sights on another career path. As a young child, before she was interested in fashion, Sohee had a love for illustration. Her mother was a children’s book illustrator and Sohee grew up playing around the studio. Her great passion for fashion started at the age of 14. She watched the Chanel spring 2012 Couture Show at her Grandmother’s house and immediately was inspired by the escapism. She remembers skipping classes just to watch these fashion shows.

After discovering fashion and being “enthralled by the feeling of escapism that illustrating granted her, Park began to translate her sketches from the page into real life to create vibrant silhouettes that she defines as demi-couture”. This led to her first collection, titled ‘The Girl In Full Bloom’. A collection “inspired by the concept of evolution from girl to woman, paralleling the designer’s own transition and her progression from illustration to design”. (Misssohee.com)

She best recollects her late grandmother’s home in South Korea which was by the sea near Jeju Island. After she passed away, Sohee had a hard time but was able to push through this extraordinary collection.

Sohee, now still just in her mid-20s, currently has her own brand called “Miss Sohee” based in England.

Parks’ On Haute Couture & Sustainablity

Sohee Park has always had a love for Haute Couture. She is drawn to the fact that there is no mass production necessary in this fashion art form. What needs to be used is all that is used. She told Vogue in a 2021 interview, “Couture shouldn’t just be for big fashion houses with an atelier in Paris, it’s about the craftsmanship and artistry. We’re in a world where there’s so much mass-produced clothing creating unnecessary waste, so I hope to see more young couturiers in the future who go against this.”

Sohee Park’s Fall-Winter 2021 Haute Couture Collection was all about this sustainability! Sohee intended to convey her concern for the environment through the pieces she presented. Thus, she used recycled crystals and innovative fabric types. The young woman brought really innovative pieces. Moreover, she believes that she can raise awareness of this very current topic through her works of art.

Celebrities wearing her clothes is a real source of pride for the designer. In addition, the contribution of social networks, such as Instagram, is very important. Because it helps to make his work known to the world.
