About KUMANN YHJ

KUMANN YHJ traces its origins to a custom-made womenswear studio founded in 1965 by EunHwan Oh. The atelier later evolved into a ready-to-wear Korean designer label named “OH EUN HWAN Boutique” in 1979.

In 2010, designer Hyejin Yoo revived and reinterpreted the brand, introducing a new vision under the name KUMANN YHJ. The relaunch positioned the label as a contemporary avant-garde womenswear brand that merges artistic experimentation with wearable ready-to-wear collections.

At the core of the brand’s identity is the concept of “Re-tailored Tailoring,” a design philosophy that revisits traditional tailoring methods while incorporating modern fabric technology and unconventional construction techniques.

KUMANN YHJ is widely recognised for distinctive design features such as dramatic shoulder shapes, architectural silhouettes, unexpected layering, and experimental garment structures. These elements allow the brand to create pieces that balance artistic expression with practical everyday wear.
