The phygital capsule collection consists of experimental shapes and cuts, based on the various forms found in our natural environment, coupled with traditional Korean patchwork, Jogakbo and the traditional pleating FOUND in the Hanbok. Each style and its patterns were sustainably created digitally, without the creation of physical samples, limiting the amounts of cuts, seams and fabric waste in the production process. The entire collection was constructed out of organic mulberry silk organza, Organic Cotton Jersey, and Organic cotton ponté, all locally sourced in South Korea.
