[email protected] Bonkuk Koo has actively worked in the field of fashion as a fashion designer and an artist. Indeed, Mr.

In January 2009, he was selected as “Emerging Fashion Designer of the Year” by IDA(International Design Award) and also won the 1st place in Haute Couture from IDA. In 2008, he created two dresses for the opening event of S.O.F.A (Sculpture Objects and Functional Art) New York. After graduation from FIT in 2009, he worked at Chado Ralph Rucci for about 4 years, a company at the highest level of

Haute Couture in the country. Rucci, Bon's lifetime mentor in fashion, has recently added his name to the highly-esteemed 2011 Fashion Walk of Fame. Bon went on to take the Design Director role at Encuentro Moda in Spain since his departure from Chado Ralph Rucci. He held two solo exhibitions - one in New York City in 2009 and the other in Seoul, South Korea in 2011. He was one of the contributors to the premiere issue of The Ground Magazine, a new platform dedicated to featuring and fostering creative young talents. His custom-made "Tide Dress" for the editorial "All you can get" in the premier issue has received wide media coverage and praise on the web globally. In spring 2012, he collaborated with Katie Workum Dance Theater, and one of his costumes was featured in New York Times dance review, aptly titled "The Flick of a Skirt Can Speak Louder Than Words.”

Bon's unwavering passion for Haute Couture led him to channel his artistry and craft into creating sculptural art pieces made by pins. Pin is one of the materials he uses most often when making a dress. When he puts pins through a fabric, he holds his breath and carefully carries a pin on a dress. The countless, meditative and repetitive process has led him to realize that there's no medium like pin that can represent who he is as an artist and express his raw emotion. All along, the discovery of such a unique form of art has been right under his nose.
