Minju Kim graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp under the tutelage of Walter Van Beirendonck, one of the Antwerp Six. In 2020 she won the top prize in the inaugural Netflix competition Next in Fashion, having previously won the H&M Design Award in 2013, and made to the short list of LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in 2014. In 2015, she founded her eponymous designer label. In 2021, her co-branded, limited edition collection for & Other Stories was sold out in no time. Joyous, childlike and elegant dreams compose the main theme of the MINJUKIM Universe. It’s a diary for her daily life, past experiences, and works that present as clothes with futuristic femininity in ever-changing shapes, colors and patterns. She hopes that with joy and comfort, the brand will allow people to reconnect with their innate feelings and style. Solid design skills, cutting edge aesthetic and unique style, plus a strong designer appeal constitute MINJUKIM's unique DNA.
