Hannam-dong Musinsa Studio Store No. 2

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Musinsa is accelerating efforts to create and revitalize a healthy fashion ecosystem.

Musinsa's fashion-specialized shared office, 'Musinsa Studio,' will open its second branch in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, this February.

Musinsa opened its first Musinsa Studio in the Dongdaemun area in 2018 to expand brand diversity within the fashion ecosystem and provide multifaceted support to emerging brands. The Dongdaemun Musinsa Studio currently boasts an occupancy rate of about 90%, reflecting high demand from fashion startups and emerging designers. More than half of the resident companies are professionals working in the fashion industry.

The Hannam branch of Musinsa Studio is located in the 'Fashion Street' of Hannam-dong. Musinsa views this location as optimal for quickly grasping and experiencing trends, as it is surrounded not only by fashion but also by brand shops showcasing diverse personalities.

It features an environment and workspace specialized for fashion. Essential facilities for fashion businesses such as a shooting studio and packing room are provided, along with a creative lounge and workroom designed to inspire new ideas. The total area is 1,983㎡ (approximately 600 pyeong), spanning four floors from the 4th to the 7th floor of the building.

Additionally, various services are offered to assist resident companies' convenience. Notably, a community manager with a deep understanding of fashion and commerce fields will be stationed at the studio to support resident companies and actively facilitate networking and collaboration among them.

Musinsa Studio also stands out for incorporating eco-friendly elements into the space. Among them, the creative lounge will be furnished with eco-friendly design furniture created in collaboration with artist Youngmin Kang, who showcases upcycling works using discarded clothing and plastic waste.

Kim Woori, head of the Musinsa Space team, stated, “Musinsa Studio is a space where those preparing to start a fashion business can freely pursue their dreams. The newly opening Hannam branch will also provide generous support so that various brands and fashion professionals can grow together.”
