Seoul Designer Series: Vandalist by Vandal

Vandalist by Vandal

A Yonsei University graduate, Vandal (Heemin Yang) started
the Vandalist brand in 2006 with a Fall/Winter Collection.

Vandal takes on the identity of Vandalism, creative destruction,
in his brand. The first collection showcased menswear crossing over
traditional boundaries.

The Feather symbol of Vandalist stands for “IDEA” and “FREEDOM.”

The Vandalist by Vandal brand represents

·
affordable uniqueness

·
wit and chic

·
formality but vividness

·
retro-modernity

The multitalented Vandal also is a musician who creates the
catwalk music for his runway shows!

The Vandalist by Vandal Seoul Fashion Week Fall/Winter 09/10 collection entitled “Decadent Chic,” had a modern theme with structured suiting using neutrals such as black and gray with a contrast of feathers (the Vandalist by Vandal symbol). A Shakespeare Androgyny feel entangled with a very futurist vibe made this collection one of a kind.
