Amber Kim

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Technology: Womenswear,

London College of Fashion 2019

Born in South Korea and raised in the UK, Kim has built experience across various

fashion sectors, working at renowned brands including Tom Ford and Chalayan. Her

recent collection, ‘Repurpose’ re-imagines the avant-garde to produce sustainable

long-lasting textiles items through modern craftsmanship and technology. She

was featured on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, discussing her concern for the

environment and how she was inspired by the discarded tents abandoned at music

festivals – “I’ve seen all of the problems. I couldn’t leave and not do anything about it.”

Following interest from fashion industry insiders, her full collection was presented at

‘Super Super Super’ during London Fashion Week 2019. It has also received attention

as fine art – exhibited at TM Lighting Gallery, with artist collaborators, and included

as an installation and experimental choreography with contemporary dancers, at the

Wells Project exhibition space.
