Seven Days To Go!

On our fourth day of features, we’re highlighting the work of Yong Joo Kim and Leslie Evans!

Yong Joo Kim, J+M ’09,  transforms unconventional materials, like Velcro, into thoughtfully crafted, elegant works of wearable art. And if you don’t think ‘Velcro’ and ‘elegance’ belong in the same sentence, get ready to change your tune.

Yong Joo’s work is driven by her desire to help people find their inner beauty and her wearing her work always results in a dialogue.
