Sejarah
Established in Seoul, Blackup emerged during the rapid expansion of South Korea’s digital fashion market. It transitioned from a local online retailer to an international brand, reflecting the global influence of Korean street style. The brand is significant for its role in popularizing the 'Hongdae aesthetic,' a blend of vintage-inspired and modern industrial elements. Its growth illustrates the shift toward social media-driven commerce and the decentralization of traditional fashion capitals in the 21st century.
