B I G PA R K Big Park is an adventurous life style brand, inspired by girls who dress in their strong, unique and individual way from various global neighborhoods. The inspiration is always drawn from the high streets of London, New York, Paris, Seoul etc. Park Youn Soo threads together these energetic looks with nature and folklore with intricate techniques. The overall look is effortless, but fearlessly bold. It’s no wonder Big Park has been the favorite for K-Pop musicians and top celebrities across Asia.
VA N E S S A L I A N N E The Vanessa Lianne jewelry line transcends norms and is non-traditional, yet timeless. Playing with contrasts and the different properties of metal, Vanessa’s pieces juxtapose hard lines with soft femininity, rough textures with sparkly diamonds, and refinement with imperfection, resulting in a celebration of the unexpected beauty in the world.

A N G E LY S B A L E K Angelys Balek is a fearless and bold designer and exemplifies this in her creations with her use of color, the artistry in her prints, and her meticulous care for construction – making her a designer well beyond her years. From hand painted illustrations of nature, leaf rubbings and picturesque sunsets on precisely cut European and Thai textiles, all of a sudden the wearer become the canvas, and Angelys Balek the art.

The name Cres. E Dim. was coined from the musical term “Cresendo E Diminuendo’ (‘Cres’ meaning “Gradually Getting Louder,” and ‘Dim,’ meaning “Gradually Getting Softer.”) Hong Bum Kim incorporates this theory of strong and delicate elements into his identity and philosophy.
ASHTIANI London-based fashion designer Golnaz Ashtiani is one to watch out for. Ashtiani’s work can best be described as directional with a feminine edge. She focuses on futuristic designs combined with classic sport-luxe influences to create modern and playful looks. The signature use of multi-fabric construction is brilliantly utilized each season.

NINA VERKLAS The styles in her Fall/Winter 2014 collection are a combination of color blocked wardrobe must haves brushed with the complexity of unique prints. Her custom prints were inspired by the concept of the kaleidoscope, bridged by multi-color stained glass mosaics, graphic fire and raw ice configurations. The luxurious and innovative fabrics include silks, fine wool, lambskin leather, ponte de roma and neoprene; all of which are crafted in the heart of the garment district in NYC.
A M A L I A M AT TA Ö R Amalia Mattaör has created a collection of evening bags, which artistically combine leather products and jewelry. The evening bags named “The Dancing Bags” are immediately recognizable in aesthetic and unique function. The materials are intricate yet refined, and the overall design is practical and ergonomic. The concept of this luxurious design is to have the accessory become an extension of the wearer.

Sabrina Carbone applies her concept of “Interchangeable Style” to handbags, mindful of today’s woman: dynamic, versatile, multitasking, but always impeccable. Behind every interchangeable cover there is an intense research for the most precious materials and handcrafting techniques.
FRANCOISE ELIZÉE Françoise Elizée is a highly crafted accessories line with a focus on handbags and jewelry. The designs are bold and fashion forward while staying true to sophistication and elegance, made with the highest quality of materials. The jewelry line is inspired by the designer’s native country Haiti and their symbolic “VEVE” characters. This particular necklace is based on the OGOU which means “the power that brings order and strengh to the people.”
