Minky Ha - an emerging talent at the London Style Collective

Minky Ha defines himself as a original- hybrid- romantic - wanker- very commercial- self-contradicted artist.
I discovered his creations (mainly strange, geomeric dresses) at the pop-up shop of the London Style Collective. The description below comes from www.thelondonstylecollective.com

"Minky Ha was born in South Korea where he studied ‘Art Studies’ before changing course and studying fashion. However, he felt it was theory without practice and decided to move to London to study fashion at Central Saint Martins. Minky‟s recent collection “What Men Live By?” is a symbolical statement of an imaginary character’s life who lives in capitalism. Each outfit symbolises a certain stage of her life in capitalism."....
Unfortunately his website is still very much a work in progress http://www.minkymouse.com/ but you can anyway get a glimpse of what he does.

Below is one of his dresses...I think there is some magic in it...
