WOOYOUNGMI FW25 Collection Explores Modern Sophistication

by

For WOOYOUNGMI‘s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, the focus is clear: growth and wisdom. Drawing inspiration from the Korean philosophy of ‘ch’orhak’, a concept that embodies self-improvement, the designs encourage introspection and personal development. By adopting clothing as a means of discipline, this season emphasizes practicality, delving into contemporary interpretations of sophistication.

In this collection, tailored garments with sharp edges take center stage, but soft, floral patterns occasionally break the formal mood, adding a touch of ceremony to the design. These floral patterns can also be found in casual knitwear, making them suitable for everyday wear. The collection’s outerwear focuses heavily on trench coats, Crombie coats, and parkas, maintaining the brand’s traditional heritage. Workwear pieces exude a utilitarian elegance with structured cargo pockets appearing on coats, suits, and shirts. For sportswear, the designs cater to winter outdoor activities, featuring padded outerwear, nylon and leather trousers, as well as knits that prioritize comfort and functionality.

This season, WOOYOUNGMI explores the realm of footwear further, featuring laced-up derbies, Chelsea boots, and block-heeled leather shoes that draw inspiration from ceremonial shoes. Additionally, references to Korean culture are evident, particularly a tribute to “minhwa” – the traditional art form from the Chosun Dynasty era. The collection’s garments showcase landscape drawings, creating a heartfelt and emotional homage.
