EXPLORE THE IDA 2025 WINNERS - GET INSPIRED BY OUTSTANDING DESIGN!
graFtmen© is a fashion brand founded in 2025 in Seoul, South Korea. We reinterpret Michel Foucault’s [Hétérotopie] through clothing, viewing garments as personal spaces. We blend architecture, literature, film, and music into fashion. Our philosophy explores the harmony of contrasts: Self with Other, Tradition with Modernity. Inspired by Eastern wisdom, we apply grafting (接木), merging two trees into one, reflecting the Korean concept of yeobaek. We minimize machine use, preserving craftsmanship. Each piece is handcrafted with deadstock fabrics to reduce emissions and honor tradition.
