Henn

Henn is a deliberately-Korean-curated contemporary luxury womenswear brand founded in 2017 in Seoul by Korean designer Henn Kim — focused on what Kim describes as 'a deliberately-Korean-modernist contemporary-luxury womenswear vocabulary anchored to deliberately-architectural feminine construction and contemporary K-fashion-aesthetic positioning.' The brand has been one of the defining post-2017 Korean-anchored 'feminine-luxury-womenswear' brands. The Henn vocabulary settled around several recurring elements: deconstructed cotton-and-silk dresses with deliberately-Korean-modernist feminine construction, hand-printed silk and cotton blouses with deliberately-K-fashion-aesthetic motif references, deliberately-architectural cotton-and-linen ready-to-wear, the brand's iconic Henn feminine-aesthetic knitwear programme, and a colour palette anchored to washed-cream, oxblood, ecru, washed-pink, washed-charcoal, plus the brand's recurring use of saturated red, electric-blue, and the iconic K-fashion-modernist aesthetic colour combinations. The brand has presented at Seoul Fashion Week each season since 2018. The brand is independent and held by Kim. Henn operates flagship retail in Seoul (Hannam-dong — the brand's home flagship) plus international wholesale through SSENSE, MATCHES, Lane Crawford, the Boontheshop network in Seoul, Net-a-Porter, the Webster, and a curated set of contemporary-luxury-womenswear specialty retailers globally. The brand has been one of the more quietly disciplined post-2017 Korean-anchored 'K-fashion-feminine-modernist-luxury' brands.
