Founded in 2013, J.Kim is the fashion brand of Korean designer Jenia Kim, which now lives and works in Moscow. Her Asian culture plays a key role in every collection of J.Kim brand, exploring the unknown parts of it and evolving the core elements of traditional Asian costume. Inspired by the original Korean dress, Jenia tries to represent it in a modern way. Despite the retrospective sources of inspiration, the collections of J.Kim reflect contemporary fashion and tradition of the Korean culture at the same time.
For the J.Kim FW 17 collection, Jenia Kim created a series named ‘Still Lifes’ in collaboration with director Gina Onegina and photographer Eugene Shishkin. The collection features clean lines and soft materials in this season’s indispensable red colour tones and check patterns. The “Still Lifes” images show the collection’s key pieces displayed on a chair. Jenia Kim’s Korean roots are not reflected in her designs, but rather in typically Korean meals, positioned on her clothes. From rice to Kimchi and flowers, all of Kim’s favourite Korean food is put into context with her contemporary fashion design. This series focuses on the designer’s roots, presenting contemporary fashion while giving an opportunity to get acquainted with the rich Korean culture.

Photo Essay By Simon Heger Knudsen

Sarah Press — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:32:37 +0000

Founded by Kristian Byrge and Peter Bonnen in 2006, the products of Scandinavian design company Muuto are characterized by enduring aesthetics, functionality, craftsmanship and an honest expression. The team designs furniture and home accessories with forward-looking materials, techniques and bold creative thinking, delivering new perspectives on Scandinavian design. In the scope of their Photo Essays, Muuto has developed a new project to let us perceive Scandinavian design through the individual lens and scope of different photographers from across the world. The first edition, shot by Copenhagen-based photographer Simon Heger Knudsen, shows his personal perspective through coastal landscapes on a cold and misty autumn day. Photographed at the beach of Bellevue north of Copenhagen, this harsh environment is in complete contrast to the soft materials and warm colors of the textiles and furniture. ”Growing up, I always came here with family and friends year-round—swimming in the summer and walking along the cold beach through winter,” Simon Heger Knudsen says about the place. Designed by the Danish masters, the iconic architecture of the surrounding area served as an inspiration for the photographer. Therefore, the beach seemed like a natural choice for the Photo Essay, joining traditional values with a new outlook on things.
