In 2016 Christine Neilsen launched her French label Hyun Mi Nielsen, which made its debut as a guest member on the official Paris Haute Couture calendar in January 2017. With roots deep in the fashion industry, she was handpicked by Lee McQueen to work for his team as head designer under Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen before she went on to become Directrice de Studio at Givenchy and Balenciaga.
With Hyun Mi Nielsen, Christine Nielsen, wants to create collections that have a narrative effect with presentations, garments and materials which conjure emotional responses. Christine believes the fashion industry is consumed by immediacy and moves too fast. Fashion has become two-dimensional and image obsessed. Rooted in strong narratives, the collections instead let the audience and clients become immersed, transporting them into the unhurried world of Hyun Mi Nielsen. All garments are special pieces that live and change with the clients.
