YUNA YANG

Yuna Yang is a New-York based fashion designer who loves to convey the concept behind her work, viewing each piece as a form of art to be shared, rather than simply to be sold. Her designs draw from her personal fascination with immersing herself in divergent cultures. After completing her B.A. in Fine Arts from Ewha Women’s University in Seoul, Korea in 2001, she moved to Milan for a design course at Instituto Marangoni. While in Italy, her aesthetics, attention to detail, and Eastern perspective on Western fashion caught the eye of designer Alviero Martini, and she was honored with a commission to design evening dresses for Milan Fashion Week 2002. Later in 2006, Ms. Yang further honed her technique and received a second B.A. in Fashion Design from Central Saint Martins in London. There, she was privileged to work with designers Ann Sofie Beck and Clements Ribiero (2005 – 2006).
