Born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1959 and growing up in a post-war country brimming with political unrest, Woo Youngmi was fortunate to find creativity close to home. Her father, the head of an architectural firm, and her mother, who taught both art and piano, did their utmost to use what they had to provide a creative environment for their five children. In 1978 Woo Youngmi enters Sung-kyun-kwan Un

iversity in Seoul to begin her fashion studies. On graduating in 1983 she wins the Osaka International Fashion award. By 1988 Woo Youngmi has launched the menswear brand SOLID HOMME, starting out with a small boutique in Seoul. She becomes the first menswear ready-to-wear female designer in Korea. In 1989 her younger sister Woo Janghee, having completed her studies in applied fine arts, joins Woo Youngmi at the design helm. In 1993 Woo Youngmi and some young designer friends begin 'New Wave', as a platform for young designers to show their work. This paves the way for today's Seoul Fashion Week. In 2002, WOOYOUNGMI is launched targeting the global market and begins showing as part of Paris Menswear Fashion Week. In April 2006 the first WOOYOUNGMI European stand-alone store opens in Paris. In 2009 a design studio is opened in Paris to work in conjunction with the Seoul design studio. Later in 2009 WOOYOUNGMI launches in Japan. October 2010 launches the special event series My Coat My Gift. As celebration of the best selling WOOYOUNGMI coat No. 51, also in support of a local charity.

2011 sees a special project of uniforms designed for Harvey Nichols Hong Kong. In 2011 WOOYOUNGMI becomes a full member of French Fashion Association 'La Chambre Syndicale'. BRAND

APPROACH
Central to the design of WOOYOUNGMI is the unique perspective that comes from female designers creating menswear. An objective viewpoint is possible, thinking only of the man for whom they wish to design for. This man, as if a subject in a painting, need never change, he remains always as their ideal. ENVIRONMENT
Equally important is the design partnership. Sisters Woo Youngmi and Woo Janghee work side by side as a unit, both supporting and challenging one another. They have discovered that their opposing characteristics - Woo Youngmi conservative and precise, Woo Janghee unconventional and artistic - creates the perfect balance for designing together. MESSAGE
Designing a sophisticated and delicate collection WOOYOUNGMI would like to offer their customer something beautiful to break the routine of modern living. As with art and cultural experiences, fashion too can offer an escape from the mundane. With fashion one can make a small investment in oneself and find some joy through experiencing a new outlook. So strongly does WOOYOUNGMI view the link between fashion and art's role in our everyday experience that WOOYOUNGMI is collaborating with and supporting artists in an effort to share this opinion with a wider audience.

Our Story

Founded by designer Wooyoungmi, WOOYOUNGMI was launched in Paris in 2002 as a designer menswear label with an international focus. Achieving early success with contemporary brand Solid Homme (1988), Mme Woo was the first designer of pret-a-porter menswear in her home country of Korea. With designs that broke through the ubiquitous conservative style of the time, she was a pioneer of a now dynamic menswear market. WOOYOUNGMI was born of an ambition to create innovative, fashion driven clothing, at an international level. A member of the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Mode Masculine, WOOYOUNGMI is an established name on the official menswear schedule.

Creative Director_Katie Chung

In 2014 Katie Chung, daughter to Mme Woo, became Creative Director and began moving the brand into a new phase. A graduate of the renowned Central St Martins, Katie has an affinity for relaxed luxury. She has been a driving force within the brand for many years previous, leading the brand’s visual identity as Art Director. As Creative Director of WOOYOUNGMI, she reveals this in collections of romantic subversiveness. Her designs are non-conformist; both romantic and disruptive. Luxurious fabrics and effortless tailoring, essentials of the WOOYOUNGMI aesthetic, are beautifully distorted when created for a bohemian with an esoteric style.
