What to know about Kijun

Kijun is a Seoul womenswear label founded in 2018 by designer Hyunwoo Kim and co-founder Myungjun Shin, its name taken from the Korean word for "standard." The label builds each season around a cinematic concept, treating the collection as a film costume department, and draws its core references from the street style of 1980s and 1990s Seoul. Output includes bubble skirts, printed and sheer tops, flared lounge pants and sculptural tailoring, plus a smaller menswear range. Stocked by SSENSE, END. and HBX.
