Gayeon Lee 가연리
Creative Director Gayeon Lee
Gayeon Lee’s designs present an inviting and fresh point of view, modernizing the free spirit for the girl who cherishes the intersection of art and fashion. Her vivid, youthful take on femininity is bold and unconventional. Lee has mastered a refined patchwork quality of construction and artistic detailing that all combine to transform a youthful silhouette into a work of art, elevating the wearer with spirited poise.
Gayeon completed the acclaimed MA Fashion Womenswear course at Central Saint Martins in 2013 under Professor Louise Wilson. Working in London and New York for several high-end labels including Marc Jacobs, Gayeon gained valuable experience and knowledge of the luxury market which led to the launch of her own label in 2015. Gayeon was chosen to collaborate with Swarovski for both the AW18 and SS18 seasons and also won the Vogue Talents award in 2016. Gayeon Lee has been showcasing her collection on the official schedule during London Fashion Week since 2018.
