HEILL × WINNE
HERITAGE, BRIDAL GRANDEUR, AND THE FUTURE OF K-FASHION
At a moment when the world is turning its eyes toward Korea’s cultural rise, two visionary designers — Heill Yang and Misook Kim — join forces to create a landmark event in Paris. On October 6, 2025, within the historic Salon Bonaparte at the Shangri-La Hotel, they will unveil 50 spectacular looks, in a showcase that bridges heritage and modernity, couture and bridal artistry, tradition and innovation.
This collaboration, titled “HEILL × WINNE”, is not just a fashion show.
It is a dialogue across generations and genres, a celebration of Korean artistry elevated onto the world’s most prestigious stage.
Designer Heill Yang
Born in Korea and refined in Paris, Heill Yang embodies the essence of cultural fusion. A graduate of ESMOD Paris, he honed his craft in the ateliers of Torrente Haute Couture, Ted Lapidus, and Paco Rabanne before founding his own house HEILL in 2012.
Nicknamed the “minhwa designer” for his poetic reinterpretations of Korean folk art, Heill transforms centuries-old motifs into contemporary luxury. His creations have dressed global dignitaries, including the First Lady of Korea, and his collections have become a fixture of Paris Fashion Week since 2017. With his Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Yang continues his role as a cultural ambassador, merging K-fashion with the timeless codes of haute couture.
Designer Misook Kim
With over 30 years of mastery in bridal couture, Misook Kim has redefined wedding fashion on a global scale. Founder of Misook Kim Wedding, former professor, and the inaugural President of the Korea Wedding Association, she was recognized in 2014 as the first Master Designer in the World Beauty Fashion Wedding category.
As the only official protégé of the legendary Yumi Katsura, Kim has carried forward her mentor’s spirit of innovation, presenting bridal artistry that transcends borders. Her gowns are not only about ceremony, they are about legacy, grace, and timeless beauty. Today, she stands as one of the most respected figures in the world of bridal haute couture.
