ANDREW KWON
Designing Couture Bridal and Evening Wear.
Born in 1995, Korean-American designer Andrew Kwon established his eponymous label in 2020 based in New York City officially launching in 2021. It was a flourishing and fanciful thesis collection that garnered Kwon attention, earning him a spot as a finalist in the Supima Design competition. One of his pieces was featured at the opening of the Shops at Hudson Yards displayed in the front window at Neiman Marcus. The release of his first and second official collections in 2021 grabbed the attention from editors and writers globally and led to an exclusive profile with Forbes and The NY Times.
Kwon’s design aesthetic empowers women highlighting the strength and beauty of nature. Each collection takes cues from Kwon’s surroundings and builds upon this concept with femininity. Bridging the ethereal with the everyday, Kwon’s debut collection in 2021 pushes the boundaries of couture craftsmanship with modern practicality.
His pieces have appeared on red carpets and celebrities globally including Lucy Liu, Sophia Bush, Regina Hall, Jessica Jung, Caitriona Gray, Olivia DeJonge, Constance Wu, Jo Sumi, Lana Condor, Ashley Park, Karen Gillan, Son Tae Young, Judith Light, and more inspirational muses of his.

This was exactly what I needed for my portfolio, and it looks great. I had a couple issues that support helped troubleshoot both via email and on the comments, which definitely made it worth the price. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Had a problem with the layout after Installation- found no approach. The support reacted quickly and competently. And solved the problem between Elemetator and a WordPress update. Great!
