About Wooyoungmi

Korean fashion from Paris. Wooyoungmi is the menswear label launched in Paris in 2002 by designer Youngmi Woo. Born in Seoul, Woo had already established herself as a key figure in Korean fashion and went on to become one of Korea’s most successful independent designers with the label.

Craftsmanship and refinement. The brand became best known for its tailoring: polished, considered menswear often inspired by art and architecture. That precision and restraint define the entire collection.

From tailoring to sneakers. With its roots in suiting and refined menswear, Wooyoungmi brings the same understated elegance to its sneakers. The result is footwear that combines the athletic shape of a sneaker with the care of a fashion house.
