Smuggler

Individuals each have their own unique methods of packing luggage. There is no standardized approach to packing luggage; no two suitcases are packed similarly. During my recent visit to New York, I found myself engrossed in organizing my belongings within my suitcase, sometimes even forgetting whether this act was a burden. How do you intend to conceal it? To address this, the design approach involved incorporating various methods of concealing items employed by smugglers into garment details and print patterns.

My name is Yoon Seo Lee, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Clothing and Textiles in South Korea. My academic focus revolves around menswear, with a particular emphasis on workwear and tailored details for my thesis.
