Self-searching: Vingarden Wu presents 'AMOMENTO: Pearl Roots II' , photographed by Maya Sørensen. January/2024.

In a dazzling fusion of tradition and contemporary eco-conscious fashion, our latest collection, presented by the visionary Vingarden Wu, unfolds 11 looks, each weaving a distinctive story that resonates with the soul. Inspired by the enchanting world of traditional Korean folk art known as "Minhwa," Wu's personal journey adds a unique depth to the narrative.

For this one, Wu shares, "I wanted to share a personal experience with my beloved grandmother, and her awe-inspiring interpretation of life. When I was just a little girl in my '한복' (han-bok), she inspired me to be something that came from within my soul, and that truly spoke for me what words could never express."

Wu's grandmother hailed from a family of '해녀' (hae-nyeo), female divers in the South Korean province of Jeju. They are known for their independent spirit and determination, representing the semi-matriarchal family structure of Jeju. Wu fondly recalls, "When I first encountered a Haenyeo, she was just coming back to shore in her black scuba diving gear with all these corals, shellfish, and treasures she found. That was very inspiring. She looked like some mythical creature; it was just so amazing."

This personal connection translated into key aquatic themes within the collection, featuring coral and shell-shaped gowns alongside black bodysuits reminiscent of scuba and wetsuit gear. Motifs derived from both flora and fauna, as well as otherworldly discoveries beneath the water's surface.

Drawing from her grandmother's breathtaking Korean madreperola dressing table, Wu reminisces about the beautiful memories. The collection incorporates Abaca banana tree fabric from the Philippines, commonly used for ship ropes and fish nets, along with deadstock and recycled Preciosa crystals.

Wu, a sino-Korean artist, reveals her cultural background, stating, "My mother is Chinese, and my father is South Korean. Despite growing up closer to Chinese culture, I still have a significant Korean heritage present in my life."

Looking towards the future, Wu emphasizes her commitment to sustainability, expressing, "It requires a lot of study, so it's not something that I could accomplish in one season. It's gonna be something that's a gradual process, but hopefully for the next few years, I want to go full sustainable and develop and source more sustainable ways and sustainable materials to create my masterpieces."

As each look unfolds, a story of conscientious design, personal heritage, and cultural richness emerges, bringing to life a harmonious blend of tradition and sustainability. The collection invites fashion enthusiasts to embrace the artistry of Minhwa, woven with threads of tradition, and propelled forward with a commitment to a sustainable future.

IN STYLE

Louis Vuitton doesn’t need an introduction. Known for its sophisticated styles and luxury goods‚ this fashion business is one of the biggest globally. From its modest beginnings in the middle of the 19th century to its current status as a worldwide brand‚ Louis Vuitton has continuously won over people’s hearts and minds all over the world. Nowadays‚ Louis Vuitton is more accessible because of its embracing of social media and technology. Celebrities and fashion influencers have also come to be acquainted with the brand since it is often apparent on their arms or highlighted in their social media posts. Because of its ability to adapt and evolve with the times while staying true to its own brand identity‚ Louis Vuitton has been successful and has endured for a long time. Since its founding as a trunk maker and growing to become one of the most recognizable luxury brands in the world‚ Louis Vuitton has showed that true craftsmanship and timeless design can stand the test of time. A sight to behold is the splendor of the snow in December. It really is amazing how it can make everything seem like a winter wonderland‚ unite people‚ and inspire thankfulness and serenity. To capture the grandeur of the snow here at Gimpo Airport‚ we had a little picture session with FEARNOTs’ fimmies. We‚ Le sserafim‚ has updated each of our Instagram accounts with a fresh batch of images. I bet you’ve seen it by now. Going through the collection of pictures we took‚ I picked two pictures of us together with Kkura언니 because I think they turned out great and we both look lovely in those pictures. That’s what Kkura언니 also did in her Instagram post. The rest of the pictures were some that I had personally chosen to showcase myself in an amazing setting. The five of us snapped a photo to promote several Louis Vuitton handbags. Kkura언니‚ Chaewon언니‚ Zuha‚ and Manchae each got their own design‚ while I had my own‚ a Louis Vuitton Pico GO-14. The Pic Go-14 is a sophisticated little handbag composed of cushioned lambskin with a golden LV twist lock on the flap. Fashion enthusiasts will find it indispensable due to its compact size‚ adaptability‚ excellent craftsmanship‚ and painstaking attention to detail. Thus‚ whether you’re a Louis Vuitton collector or just looking for a statement piece‚ the Pico Go-14 is a smart investment. We’re at the Gimpo Airport on our way to Tokyo‚ Japan‚ where we’ll be attending a Japanese event. You know how idols like to dress up for the airport‚ so whenever an idol is around‚ fans always look forward to seeing what they will be wearing for their airport fashion. Because of this‚ we‚ Le Sserafim have prepared an airport fashion for our dear FEARNOTs! For my airport fashion‚ I topped my Alpaca Warmer KN from Authenti with a Gray Belted Coat from Amomento and paired it with a Pleated Tailored Suit Skirt from Mausoleum. To complete the look‚ I added my Pico GO-14 Louis Vuitton handbag and a pair of Kina Mary Jane Pumps from Carel Paris. To update our FEARNOTs‚ we did one more quick photo session before we boarded! FEARNOTs‚ be sure to watch and stay tuned for our upcoming Japanese event.
