| The Moon at Noon |
The collection “The Moon at Noon – The Unfamiliar in the Familiar” is inspired by life between Asia and Europe. Both cultures, languages and eras merge together in blurred memories. The unfamiliar appears in the familiar and the familiar in the unfamiliar. The world appears twisted, changed, conjoined. The perspective changes and expands. Shapes and characteristics, stories and fantasies seem new. Reality becomes dream, and dreams suddenly become reality. Nothing remains the way it was. Aspects of the surreal make incredible beauty possible. Triangles, squares and circle collide with the human body in the 21-piece men’s and women’s collection. The abnormal silhouettes create new spaces. Dress and space, body and circle, corners and curves, white and yellow blend together to create a poetic collage. |

| Jury Statement | The poetic project is based on a variety of influences and inspirations, such as personal experiences with the cultures of Korea and Germany, poetry by Ernst Jandel and Joachim Ringelnatz, or artists like Kafka und Erwin Wurm. Yet the result is not random, there is no “anything goes”. Young Sun Ko gets to the bottom of things, and her interpretation creates a new reality. Viewing patterns are disturbed and reinterpreted by her unconventional arrangements and proportions. The modern, stylish and artistically impressive collection is based on excellent patterns and highly skilled tailoring. — Jury member Robb Young, Fashion Journalist und Consultant, London |
