PLEIADES SS21.
“Yeon”
‘Yeon’ means ‘lotus flower’ in Korean, and in a Chinese character.
The designer wanted to express of small miracles that we encounter each day, the wonders of being - through the image of blooming lotus flowers.
A good portion of the history of Korean art is rooted in Buddhism. During Go-ryeo era (918-1392), Buddhist art flourished to reach its peak when it comes to technique and the level of completion.
In Go-ryeo wall paintings and architecture, the entire surface is full of curved lines and forms, indicating the core energy of birth and life - that transforms into everything in this world.
The collection is an invitation for you to have a moment to look around, find the beauty that is always surrounding us and celebrate it.
To indulge yourself to the delightful breeze in summer, to gaze at every living thing and realise how blessed we are.
GINGER ballerina shoes are completed with hand-tied ‘ginger’ knots, crafted by the designer.
Every shoe of Yeon collection delivers a unique quality, all the while being gentle to your steps.
