This season Kim Shui takes her ongoing unabashed celebration of the female form to the table for an intersectional dialogue on what it means to live and express oneself freely through dress.

The dichotomy between public v. private life and forced layers of concealment in the former eye is explored through motif and materiality. Though her new collection speaks to current moments of upheaval, it was created to send a message to future generations, and to help move toward a world that prioritizes identity and self-definition—a world where all of us can move fluidly between interior and exterior (public facing) spaces without adding layers of self-censorship.
