What to know about Kijun

Womenswear first, menswear a sideline

Kijun designs primarily for women — bubble skirts, sheer and printed tops, flared lounge pants — with a smaller menswear range attached to each season.

Seasons written like film scripts

Every collection starts from a cinematic concept and is built like a costume department, so pieces read as characters rather than standalone basics.

1980s–90s Seoul is the source

The core reference is Korean street style of the 80s and 90s, filtered through sculptural tailoring and Y2K shapes at a mid-to-high price.
