About Utopia Womenswear 컬렉션
이번 컬렉션에서 황은 나는 주로 언더 그라운드 음악 문화를 접한 대칭적이고 비대칭적인 형태에서 영감을 받았다. 그녀는 자신의 경험에 대한 이야기를 구현하기 위해 기능적이면서 추상적 인 의류 및 액세서리 컬렉션을 만들기 위해 자기 포용의 중추적 인 순간을 기반으로이 컬렉션을 큐레이팅했습니다. 프로젝트의 모든 프린트와 원단은 원본이며 주로 PU 가죽, Satin, Power Mash 및 Spandex를 원단 바닥으로 사용했습니다.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The designer was brought up in a Korean society where everybody demanded perfection in appearance. Since young, her asymmetrical face made her feel like she was ugly or not up to society’s demand of perfection. That put her in a box where it restricted her freedom of thought and expression. Yina curated this collection based on her pivotal moment of self embracement while she was traveling the world in 2018, to create the functional yet abstract garments to embody the story of her experience.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- US size 2 to 6
- Tags
- Embracement, Self-empowerment, Balance, Symmetricity, Asymmetricity
- Production Technology
- To start this collection, I self-experimented by going towards the other end of the spectrum of what society views as “perfect” by using surgery tape to distort my physical appearance to lay down the foundation of what I will be creating. The distortion led to the collages. The collages led to the prints which also created the silhouettes to my initial prototypes. Every print and fabric in the project is original and I mainly used PU leather, Satin, Power Mash, and Spandex for the base of the fabrics.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was getting the right prints on the right fabric. Every fabric has a different result of prints and has a different approach to sewing. I went through a series of fabric tests and garment prototypes to reach the final result.
- Research
- As I immersed myself into the underground music culture, I was inspired by how people with different backgrounds, shapes, colors, genders, and sexuality are embraced under one roof and it led me to a self-empowering moment. I researched its culture, how diverse people live and what they wear. These researches and experiments laid down the foundation of this project.
- Inspiration
- This project was mainly inspired by the shapes that are symmetric and asymmetric with a touch of underground music culture. Depending on the line of division, a symmetrical shape can be simultaneously asymmetric. It’s all about how you choose to perceive it. Every shape has its own beauty and every beauty has it’s own shape. This project aims to break down the wearer’s restriction for the freedom of expression, and help the wearers bring out their own spirits.
- Project Duration
- This project started in September 2018 and finished in January 2020 in New York and was presented in New York Fashion Week on February 7th, 2020 in New York, USA.
- Operation Flow
- Some of the garments can transform the shapes by attaching/detaching fabric panels using snaps.
