Seoul Fashion Week SS 2027

1. Campaign

"Two Stages, One Runway" Seoul Becomes the Runway

The 2027 S/S Seoul Fashion Week campaign brings the season's "Expanded Stage" concept to life. Linking Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and Lotte World Tower in one continuous journey, the film shows Seoul Fashion Week moving beyond a single venue and extending into the city itself. International model Shin Hyun Ji leads the campaign, moving freely through Seoul's architecture and urban landscape beyond the conventions of a traditional runway. Her walk intersects with dancer Choi Ho Jong's dynamic movement, bringing two distinct movement languages-the runway walk and dance -together in a single visual sequence.

Wearing looks from designer brands participating in 2027 S/S Seoul Fashion Week, Shin travels between DDP and Lotte World Tower and embodies the season's expanded stage. Her career across leading collections and campaigns in Korea and internationally reinforces the campaign's global perspective.

Last season, Al media art introduced the idea of an "imagined leap." This season, that vision becomes physical as Seoul Fashion Week expands across real urban spaces. The journey from DDP to Lotte World Tower sets the direction for its next chapter.

2. Key Message

"The Expansion of SFW" Four Dimensions of Expansion

2027 S/S Seoul Fashion Week presents "Expansion" as the season's central message and brings it to life by extending the boundaries of the physical stage. The journey begins at DDP and continues to Lotte World Tower World Park, connecting brands, retail experiences, and audiences across the city. This season is defined by simultaneous expansion across four dimensions: venue, brand, retail, and audience.

Two Landmarks, One Journey

DDP and Lotte World Tower World Park-two of Seoul's most iconic landmarks-serve as the anchors of this season's Seoul Fashion Week. DDP, one of Seoul's leading architectural landmarks, and Jamsil's defining destination both become stages, turning the journey across the city into part of the fashion-week experience.

Expanding the Brand Spectrum

The runway program expands beyond its traditional focus on designer labels. New contemporary-brand runways will unfold at Lotte World Tower World Park, further diversifying the spectrum of fashion highlighted by Seoul Fashion Week. The lineup also includes KIMHEKIM, a Korean designer label with an established international presence. Its participation reflects Seoul Fashion Week's growing connection to the global fashion scene.

From Runway to Retail

The runway experience will extend directly into retail. Key looks presented on the Jamsil contemporary runway will be connected to Lotte Department Store's online mall through QR codes or links, allowing audiences to shop selected looks immediately. By shortening the distance between discovery and purchase, the initiative creates a more immediate fashion experience.

Closer to the Public

Expanding the stage ultimately means expanding the range of people who encounter it. Jamsil-home to destinations such as Lotte World and Lotte World Mall-is one of Seoul's busiest retail and leisure districts, naturally drawing domestic and international visitors as well as younger generations.

By establishing a new stage in Jamsil, Seoul Fashion Week reaches beyond its established fashion audience to people encountering the event in everyday life. From ticket holders arriving for the shows to passersby discovering an unexpected fashion moment, the expanded program opens Seoul Fashion Week to a much broader public.

3. Beyond the Runway

Fashion Week Moves into the City Public Experiences Beyond the Runway

This season, Seoul Fashion Week extends beyond the runway. Interactive public spaces across DDP and Lotte World Tower will invite visitors to experience fashion week beyond the shows.

SFW x K-Lifestyle Street at DDP

At DDP, the "SFW x K-Lifestyle Street" will unfold under the slogan, "Everything we wear, eat, and apply is fashion." A total of 18 brands will participate across three zones-K-wellness, K-food, and K-beauty-showing that fashion can be found not only in the act of dressing, but in everyday moments of eating, drinking, and caring for oneself. Each brand booth will offer programs that invite direct public participation, including beverage tastings, social-media promotions and photo challenges, and product experience zones, allowing visitors to discover and experience each brand firsthand.

Visitors can also visit "Hi DFN x 2027 S/S Seoul Fashion Week, a photo zone created in collaboration with fashion magazine Daily Fashion News. Open from September 1 to 5, the space will feature a variety of content capturing the vivid moments and voices of citizens attending the event.

Jamsil's Skyline Announces Fashion Week

At Lotte World Tower, the city skyline itself becomes a stage announcing Seoul Fashion Week.. From September 3 to 6, signage displaying "SEOUL FASHION WEEK" will appear on Lotte World Tower four times each day, bringing Seoul Fashion Week into the Jamsil skyline.

World Park will also host a pop-up booth by global sportswear brand adidas. Presented under the theme "Bold Expansion into the Unseen," the pop-up comprises three zones-Backdoor, Backstage, and Runway-taking visitors through the creative journey from backstage development to the runway.

At the venue, visitors will also have access to exclusive raffles through on-site QR codes and the CONFIRMED app for a variety of items, including a Stan Smith Custom Package customized by KIMHEKIM designer Kimintė Kimhēkim.

Fashion, Music, and Giving NCT 10th Anniversary Project

This season, Seoul Fashion Week will present special programs celebrating the 10th anniversary of NCT's debut. The "NCT FLEA MARKET" is open to everyone who loves fashion and K-pop. Conceived as more than a sales event, it brings charitable giving into the festival. All proceeds will be donated to causes supporting women, youth, and culture. The initiative extends the festival's social impact beyond fashion and culture.

An NCT costume exhibition will also be held at Lotte World Tower World Park. Running for three days from September 4 to 6, the exhibition traces NCT's ten-year creative journey through stage costumes, allowing visitors to explore the meeting of K-pop and fashion. The fundraising flea market and the retrospective costume exhibition will come together in one place, creating a variety of moments shaped by the meeting of K-pop and fashion for visitors to Jamsil.

From K-lifestyle on the streets of DDP to Seoul Fashion Week illuminating the Jamsil skyline, and moments of meaningful giving, 2027 S/S Seoul Fashion Week will welcome visitors throughout the city and demonstrate that fashion week is truly a major festival for everyone to enjoy together.

A retrospective runway drawn from the brand's ten-year archive will offer Korean audiences a meaningful opportunity to experience its journey to date.

RIU&VIU

Founded in 2019 by designer Yeji Kim, who double-majored in Korean traditional music and clothing and textiles, RIU&VIU has attracted particular attention overseas for designs that reinterpret traditional Korean elements through a contemporary sensibility.

BMUET(TE) will participate in Seoul Fashion Week this season as part of the presentation program.

A New Runway Program in Jamsil

Lotte World Tower World Park will host a dedicated program of contemporary runways and a special curated Runway, introducing a new dimension to Seoul Fashion Week in Jamsil.

Contemporary Brands Take the Stage

On Saturday, September 5, World Park will host a full program of contemporary runways. At 3:00 p.m., Dunst will open the program with a standalone runway show.

Popular among consumers in their 20s and 30s, Dunst has built solid recognition among consumers in their 20s and 30s through major Korean fashion platforms including 29CM, W Concept, and MUSINSA. In 2023, the brand began its full-scale global expansion, building a business network with more than 100 buyers across approximately 30 countries and steadily increasing its presence overseas.

Later that evening, GENERAL IDEA, E.B.M, and MAHAGRID will come together for a joint runway show.

GENERAL IDEA

A modern casual brand that adds a contemporary sensibility to a classic mood, combining the designer's creative perspective with an SPA system to establish a distinctive market position and continue expanding internationally.

E.B.M

A premium contemporary brand that naturally translates luxury into everyday life through a trendy and polished urban sensibility.

MAHAGRID

A brand rooted in American subculture that has expanded the scope of street casual through a wide range of collaborations.

Together, the three brands will offer distinct perspectives on contemporary Korean fashion.

NCT's 10-Year Journey Closes Seoul Fashion Week

In addition to the brand runways, the Jamsil stage will present a special curated runway.

Created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of NCT's debut, the show will feature stage costumes from throughout the group's ten-year history, offering an in-depth reflection on NCT's journey through the language of fashion. The concepts and stories embodied in the costumes from each era will unfold as a single visual narrative connecting music and fashion.

This special show will take place as the final program on the last day of 2027 S/S Seoul Fashion Week. After six days of events moving between DDP and Jamsil, the show will bring the six-day program to an emotional close through NCT's ten-year creative journey.

From designer collections to the decade-long journey of a K-pop icon, the Jamsil program captures another dimension of this season's expanded experience.

SPOTLIGHT: PETALS & PASSIONS - Love Through the Blossoms

How Heian-Era Flower Motifs are Reorganizing Modern Haute Couture

The Heian period (794–1185 AD) stands as the pinnacle of Japanese classical culture, defined by a courtly refinement known as miyabi (elegance). Today, contemporary designers are looking back to this golden age, resurrecting its sophisticated floral motifs to breathe poetic romance into modern silhouettes.

The Big Three: Cherry, Wisteria, and Paulownia

Sakura (Cherry Blossom): In the Heian court, the cherry blossom eclipsed the plum as the ultimate symbol of transience and beauty. Unlike the graphic prints of modern fast fashion, Heian-style cherry blossoms are rendered as delicate, scattered petals. Modern applications use sheer silk overlays and soft pink gradients to mimic the falling snow effect of the blossoms, perfect for ethereal spring collections.

Fuji (Wisteria): Associated with the powerful Fujiwara clan, wisteria represents nobility and grace. Its cascading purple clusters naturally lend themselves to vertical embroidery down the spine of jackets or flowing down the lengths of evening gowns. The sway of wisteria motifs captures the fluid motion prized in ancient courtly dances.

Kiri (Paulownia): A sacred motif historically reserved for royalty, the paulownia features structured leaves and upright flowers. In contemporary fashion, this motif is translated into metallic brocades, structured blazers, and statement jewelry, offering a sharp, imperial contrast to softer floral trends.

Kasane no Irome: The Layering of Color

Heian fashion was not just about the pattern, but how it interacted with color layering (kasane no irome). Silk robes were layered to reveal contrasting colors at the collar and sleeves, meticulously matched to specific flowers and seasons. Translating this to the runway involves utilizing semi-translucent textiles—like organza and chiffon—allowing under-layers of plum, soft green, and iris-purple to bleed through, creating a living canvas of textile poetry.

In the golden age of the Heian period, fashion was never merely aesthetic, it was a manifestation of the soul, a silent dialogue of color layers and a mirror of destiny. No text captures this profound connection between attire, nature, and human fate better than Murasaki Shikibu’s masterpiece, The Tale of Genji.

As we look at the breathtaking landscape of contemporary haute couture, we see a striking resurgence of this ancient philosophy. Today’s designers are moving beyond superficial floral prints. Instead, they are resurrecting the raw, emotional weight of the Heian period, weaving ancient karma, tragic romances, and spiritual haunting into wearable art.

Here, we explore the fatal romances of three iconic Heian heroines, told through the very blossoms they loved, and how their distinct expressions of love have become the definitive design codes of modern couture.

I. YUGAO: The Fleeting Moonflower

Love as Absolute Submission

Yugao, named after the fragile white bottle gourd blossom that opens only in the evening shadows, represents a love lived without armor. She loved Prince Genji with a pure, unquestioning submission, hiding her noble identity to offer him a rustic sanctuary. But in the world of Heian karma, such unprotected beauty invites tragedy. Her light was abruptly snuffed out in a dark, deserted villa, withered by the possessing spirit (ikiryo) of Genji’s neglected, jealous lover, Lady Rokujo.

On the contemporary fashion, The Yugao Look translates into an ethereal, haunting vulnerability. Designers evoke her memory through deconstructed silhouettes crafted from sheer white silk organza and gossamer tulle. Raw, unfinished edges and asymmetric ruffles cascade like decaying petals, capturing the exact moment a romance is violently cut short. It is a fashion statement on the bittersweet beauty of impermanence.

II. FUJITSUBO: The Forbidden Wisteria

Love as a Secret Sin

Princess Fujitsubo is forever tied to the wisteria blossom that hangs in magnificent, weeping clusters. Her love was the ultimate taboo: a hidden affair with prince Genji, her stepson, which resulted in a secret imperial heir. Trapped between social duty and the terrifying spiritual weight of her sin, Fujitsubo chose to sever her earthly attachments. In an act of desperate penance, she cut her hair and took Buddhist vows to escape the relentless cycle of karma at the end.

Modern fashion interprets The Fujitsubo Look through a lens of structured melancholy. The heavy, multilayered garments of the Heian court (Junihitoe) are reimagined as oversized  tailoring and cocoon-like silhouettes that envelope the body like a protective sanctuary. Deep lavender and muted plum silks are adorned with thousands of hand-stitched glass beads that drape downward like weeping wisteria, embodying a regal grace burdened by silent grief.

III. LADY AOI: The Stoic Hollyhock

Love as Guarded Pride

Lady Aoi, Genji’s primary wife, is symbolized by the hollyhock flower which renowned for its unbending stalk and its central role in sacred festival rituals like Aoi.matsuri in Kyoto. Born into ultimate privilege, Aoi’s love was strangled by her own pride. Unable to lower her aristocratic guard or compete with Genji’s mistresses, she maintained a distant exterior that masked her true longing. This emotional distance left her vulnerable; following childbirth, she was utterly consumed and killed by the exact same vengeful spirit of Lady Rokujo that had claimed Yugao.

In the world of fashion, The Lady Aoi Look manifests as protective armor. Designers utilize unyielding textiles like metallic brocades and heavy jacquards to construct sharp architectural lines and imposing high collars. These rigid structures represent a heart locked away behind societal expectations. The tragic vulnerability is revealed only through intricate, fractured embroidery of split hollyhock leaves, symbolizing a proud soul shattered from within.

IV. LADY ROKUJO: The Scorched Ginger-Lily

Lady Rokujo is the dark gravity center of Genji’s karmic circle. A highly educated widow of an imperial prince, her love for Genji was an all-consuming fire. When prince Genji grew distant, her repressed fury and humiliation became so intense that her living spirit (ikiryo) left her body involuntarily, manifesting as a murderous ghost that choked the life out of Yugao and Lady Aoi. Her association with sacred shrines brings to mind the wild ginger lilies, the flowers that are deeply aromatic but suffocating if kept in a closed space.

In modern fashion, The Rokujo Look is pure  drama. It channels the terrifying elegance of a woman possessed by her own rage. Designers use deep crimson, bruised burgundy and pitch-black silks shaped into asymmetrical drapes. The garments feature laser-cut leather that mimics scorched petals or smoke rising from incense, capturing a love that is beautiful, toxic, and utterly destructive.

Flowers as the Fabric of the Soul

What The Tale of Genji  teaches us, and what modern couture beautifully replicates, is that flowers are never just decoration. They are narratives of human experiences and emotions. When we wear the delicate pleats of Yugao, the weeping beads of Fujitsubo, or the sharp lines of Aoi, we are not just participating in a trend. We are stepping into a thousand-year-old lineage of romance, retribution, and the eternal poetry of the human heart.

Styling the Modern Heian Motif

To wear this look without looking like you are wearing a historic costume, balance is key. Pair an oversized blazer featuring an embroidered wisteria branch with minimalist, wide-leg trousers.

Alternatively, look for accessories like silk scarves, brooches or structured clutches boasting stamped paulownia crests to add a subtle whisper of ancient Kyoto to your everyday wardrobe.

สนุกกับความงามย้อนยุค: ภาพลายดอกไม้ยุคเฮอันในโลกโอตกูตูร์

ยุคเฮอัน (ค.ศ. 794–1185) คือหมุดหมายอันรุ่งโรจน์ที่สุดของวัฒนธรรมแฟชั่นชั้นสูงในญี่ปุ่น ยุคที่นิยามแฟชั่นด้วยความประณีตงดงามในแบบราชสำนักอันเรียกว่า “มิยาบิ” (miyabi) หรือความสง่างามอันละเมียดละไม ในวันนี้ โลกแห่งแฟชั่นชั้นสูงหรือโอตกูตูร์ กำลังเหลียวหลังมองกลับไปยังความรุ่งโรจน์ในอดีตอีกครั้ง ชุบชีวิตลวดลายดอกไม้ที่เปี่ยมด้วยเรื่องราว เพื่อเติมเต็มกลิ่นอายความโรแมนติกที่แฝงความงามของบทกวีเข้าไปในซิลลูเอทเสื้อผ้าที่ดูมินิมอลและทันสมัย

พฤกษาแห่งจักรพรรดิ

ในราชสำนักเฮอัน ดอกไม้ไม่ได้เป็นแค่ของประดับหรือภาพตกแต่งเพื่อความสวยงาม แต่เป็นดั่งภาษาที่ใช้สื่อสารถึงชนชั้นทางสังคม ฤดูกาล และห้วงอารมณ์ความรู้สึกที่ลึกซึ้งของมนุษย์ ดอกซากุระ ได้รับการยกย่องให้เป็นความงามที่ไม่จีรัง ตามหลักปรัชญา "ความอนิจจัง" ในพระพุทธศาสนา เป็นความงามเพียงชั่วครู่ เกิดขึ้น และร่วงโรยอย่างรวดเร็ว ซึ่งแฟชั่นยุคใหม่ได้ถ่ายทอดสิ่งเหล่านี้ผ่านการนำผ้าไหมเนื้อบางเบามาจัดวางทับซ้อนกันหลายชั้น และการไล่เฉดสีชมพูละมุนที่เลียนแบบการร่วงหล่นของกลีบดอกซากุระ

ในขณะเดียวกัน ช่อดอกไม้สีม่วงที่ทิ้งตัวเป็นสายระย้าอย่าง ดอกวิสทีเรีย (ฟูจิ) ซึ่งในประวัติศาสตร์มีความผูกพันอย่างลึกซึ้งกับตระกูลฟูจิวาระ ขุนนางผู้ทรงอิทธิพลทางการเมือง กลุ่มชนชั้นนำในสังคมญี่ปุ่น ก็ได้กลายมาเป็นแรงบันดาลใจชั้นยอดในงานปักแนวตั้งยาวตลอดตัวเสื้อของชุดราตรีร่วมสมัย และสำหรับลุ้คที่ต้องการความคล่องตัวและมีโครงสร้างที่ชัดเจน ดีไซเนอร์หลายคนเลือกหยิบ ดอกพอลโลเนีย (คิริ) หรือดอกจักรพรรดิ มาใช้ โดยนำใบไม้ที่มีรูปทรงโดดเด่นมาทำเป็นผ้าไหมยกลายดิ้นทอง และเสื้อเบลเซอร์เน้นโครงชุด

ศาสตร์แห่งการซ้อนทับ: คาซาเนะ โนะ อิโรเมะ

แฟชั่นในยุคเฮอันมีเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัวที่โดดเด่นคือ “คาซาเนะ โนะ อิโรเมะ” (Kasane no Irome) หรือศิลปะการซ้อนทับผ้าไหมเนื้อโปร่งแสงอย่างพิถีพิถัน เพื่อให้สีสันด้านในเหลื่อมซ้อนและสะท้อนออกมาบริเวณปลายแขนเสื้อและคอเสื้อ ดีไซเนอร์ยุคปัจจุบันได้นำเทคนิคนี้มาตีความใหม่ด้วยการเลเยอร์ผ้าเนื้อบางอย่าง ผ้าออร์แกนซา และผ้าชิฟฟอน เช่น การให้โทนสีเขียวสดของใบไม้ในฤดูใบไม้ผลิซ้อนทับอยู่บนผ้าสีพลัมเข้ม (เฉดสีม่วงเข้มอมแดงและน้ำตาลเล็กน้อย ซึ่งได้แรงบันดาลใจมาจากผิวของลูกพลัมสุกจัด ดูลึกลับน่าค้นหา) ด้านใน ทำให้เกิดเฉดสีใหม่ที่หรูหรา ราวกับย่อส่วนอุทยานดอกไม้ในวังหลวงยุคเฮอันมาไว้บนเรือนร่างของผู้สวมใส่

การมิกซ์แอนด์แมตช์ในชีวิตประจำวัน

หากคุณต้องการหยิบเอาสไตล์นี้มาใช้ในชีวิตประจำวันโดยไม่ให้ดูเหมือนชุดแฟนซีข้ามยุค หรือคอสเพลย์ "ความสมดุล" คือหัวใจสำคัญที่สุด

▣ ของเด่นต้องคู่กับของเด่นเสมอกัน : ลองจับคู่เสื้อเบลเซอร์ทรงโอเวอร์ไซส์ที่มีงานปักรูปกิ่งวิสทีเรียทิ้งตัวอย่างอ่อนช้อย เข้ากับกางเกงขายาวทรงกระบอกกว้าง สไตล์มินิมอล เพื่อลดการจับตามองไปที่ไอเท็มชิ้นใดชิ้นหนึ่ง

▣ แมทช์กับจิวเวลรี่หรือเครื่องประดับชิ้นรอง: เลือกใช้เครื่องประดับที่มีโครงสร้างหรือดีเทลงานชัดเจน ดีเทลเล็กๆ แต่เปี่ยมไปด้วยเรื่องราว เช่น กระเป๋าคลัตช์ที่ปั๊มลายตราประทับดอกพอลโลเนีย หรือผ้าพันคอไหมพิมพ์ลายกลีบซากุระบางเบา เพื่อเพิ่มกลิ่นอายความคลาสสิกในแบบเกียวโตโบราณให้กับลุ้คประจำวันของคุณได้อย่างแนบเนียน
