Korean Designer Yu Meiying: Female Designer For Men'S Wear

In the Korean fashion circle, born in 1959, there were many "first" achievements in Britain and America: the first Korean designer to design men's wear, the first Korean designer to walk in Paris, the first Korean designer to join the French fashion Union.

In recent years, she ushered in the accession of her daughter Katie Chung, creating the first "mother daughter design portfolio" of Seoul fashion circle.

Interviews with Anglo American and Katie were conducted in shops in the south of Seoul.

Daughter Katie came first.

She was dressed very simply: black sweater and black trousers.

After sitting down, she ordered a cup of iced coffee.

In Britain and the United States in half an hour after the arrival, the dress is also the main color: white collar T-shirt, black trousers, a black wind coat, some serious expression.

She asked her assistant to take a cup of hot tea.

When the mother came, Katie said something less.

Instead of preemptive speaking, she tends to supplement her mother's answer.

Although in many details of life, the Katie that had studied in London for a long time has been Europeanized, the respect of the elders to the elders is still vividly reflected in her.

The four storey building called "Man Made Wooyoungmi" has become a famous landmark in Seoul since its completion.

The first floor is a coffee shop with artwork display area (Yu Yingmei is keen to collaborate with artists. From the 2012 spring summer series, she has worked with artists from 6 different countries). The third floor of the two floor shows the Wooyoungmi season series, and the four floor belongs to the Solid Homme which was settled in February last year.

In fact, the Solid Homme, which was the last to be settled, was the first brand launched in Britain and the United States at the beginning of the industry.

In 1988, he graduated from Seoul University in England and America and founded the company "Solid Corporation".

In the same year, she created the men's clothing brand "Solid Homme" and opened a boutique in Seoul.

Since then, she has made many "first" in Korean fashion circles: Korea's first female designer who designs men's wear, the first Korean designer to walk in Paris, the first Korean designer to join the French fashion Union.

In 2002, the brand "Wooyoungmi" was established in Paris and Anglo American, and began to be released in Paris men's wear week.

Four years later, the first "Wooyoungmi" store opened in Paris.

So far, as a member of the French fashion Union, she has been fighting for nearly seven years in Paris men's wear week. Wooyoungmi also has a place in the Paris men's clothing industry.
