    Creativity was always part of Park’s life thanks to her mother. She is a renowned children’s book illustrator in Korea. Growing up, Park spent ample time in her mother’s studio, sketching.

    She advanced her childhood interests after a fateful afternoon with Chanel. At 14, she remembers watching Chanel’s Spring 2012 Couture show at her grandmother’s house.

    Park was entranced by the fashions. She even recalls skipping school to watch other shows!

    She followed her passion for couture to Central Saint Martins, the revered London arts and fashion university. From there, she landed internships with Marc Jacobs and Molly Goddard.

    There she developed her personal aesthetic and the basis for Miss Sohee!

    What is Miss Sohee?

    Miss Sohee is Park’s namesake label. She defines the brand as ”demi-couture”. Although her creations are so spectacular they deserve full couture recognition.

    Miss Sohee’s debut collection ”The Girl In Full Bloom” was a fashion revelation. Inspired by girlhood’s evolution and Park’s own creative process, the collection featured majestic silhouettes and intricate floral detailing.

    “The Girl in Full Bloom” was followed by a Fall/Winter 2022 Collection supported by Dolce & Gabbana. Park thanks them profusely on her social media for giving Miss Sohee its platform at Milan Fashion Week 2022.

    The pieces Miss Sohee created with the support of D&G left the fashion world in awe. Her ”demi-couture” was bold, fierce and fantastical.

    She presented painstakingly beaded strapless gowns and luxurious animal-printed sets. Dramatic headpieces and tops with the glimmer of pearl.
