PS 26 / Soul of Seoul

Traces of the Metropolis

A love letter to the city it calls home, KIMHĒKIM’s 2026 Pre-Spring collection, Soul of Seoul, captures the vivid contrasts and quiet poetry woven through the capital’s ever-shifting landscape.

Inspired by the distinct character of the many districts within the lively metropolis—from the serene streets of artists (Samcheong) to the vibrant quarters full of energy(Itaewon), the polished and luxurious hills (Cheongdam) to the dynamic hubs of spirited rhythm (Gangnam) —each look reflects a different heartbeat of the city.

Tailoring remains central, reimagined with a softer ease and touches of metropolitan drama. Sculptural silhouettes are balanced with subtle nods to streetwear, mirroring how the metropolitan style moves between tradition and reinvention. Signature designs meet unexpected details, volume meet movement—an homage to a city where opposites coexist in harmony.
