For almost 20 years, Koeun Park has perfected the concept of restraint. Her label, Forme d’Expression (stylized as Forme 3’3204322896, inspired by the hexcode of the Helvetica Fractions font) is a showcase of this expertise.

Informed by a storied career in couture, Koeun’s designs exemplify the needs of the modern wardrobe without getting caught up in the “blind obsession” of trend. To her, clothes are not intended to overwhelm or define their wearer, but instead to fit seamlessly into however the wearer decides to define themselves.

She continued her education with a masters at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, before diving straight into high fashion under Giorgio Armani, designing works for Armani Black Label. Afterwards, her curiosity took her to New York to develop the men’s and women’s collections for Donna Karan, an experience she says “enlightened” her future career as a designer.
