Last year, as a result of supporting activities such as participation in a total of 80 domestic and international exhibitions and fashion shows, the studio recorded a total of 9 awards, including the Seoul Fashion Week Best Emerging Designer Award (SEOKWOON YOON) and Generation Next 20. There were a total of 206 domestic and international (online and offline) store entries, generating sales of 941 million KRW.
