About: Miss Sohee, founded by South Korean designer Sohee Park, is renowned for its avant-garde vision and exquisite craftsmanship. A graduate of Central Saint Martins, launched the brand in 2020 following the critical success of her BA collection. Her designs blend rich elements of Korean cultural heritage with a modern, imaginative sensibility, creating works that transcend to become expressions of cultural and aesthetic significance.

Miss Sohee is driven by Park’s passion for poetic storytelling through fashion, where each garment serves as a canvas for artistic expression, beauty, and empowerment. At the heart of her work is a reverence for Korean culture, which she reinterprets through a contemporary lens. Drawing on influences from nature, mythology, and fantasy, Park crafts designs that are at once visually arresting and timeless in their elegance.
