Geschiedenis
Kiminte Kimhekim founded the label in 2014 after gaining experience at Balenciaga. The brand gained international recognition for its fusion of historical Korean dress, such as the hanbok, with modern high-fashion techniques. It represents a significant shift in the global fashion landscape, where South Korean designers integrate heritage into contemporary luxury. Kimhekim’s inclusion in the official Paris Fashion Week schedule solidified its role in bridging Eastern aesthetics with Western couture traditions.
