Designer Sunghee Bang debuts her collection at Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion show in New York presented by smart car.
Yours Truly had the pleasure of attending the Gen Art show this past Friday evening, and had a big fat ball. i got to meet and salivate over the various accessory designs and designers—Wool & the Gang, Falconiere, Osborn and more….and take in runway presentations from Sunghee Bang, Jennifer Chun, Ace & Jig, Eighteenth and Ann Yee to name just a few….i’m going to be doing a more detailed post when i get back from NYC and can decipher my grapefruit mojito fueled scribble notes, but i wanted to post a few pics from these fabulous emerging designers and brag a bit about what a great time i had. so there. (stay tuned for handsome boys walking softly and carrying big sticks…)
special thanks to Yotel NYC…

Sunghee Bang
Few designers are bold enough to start their own clothing line straight out of fashion school, but few designers are like the one-woman-wonder known as Sunghee Bang.
After a steady stream of internships with New York designers Donna Karan, J Mendel, Jill Stuart and Peter Som, Sunghee gained knowledge of the industry, and further developed her own unique vision.
In 2008, several of Sunghee’s print designs found their way into Alexander McQueen’s Spring-Summer 2009 collection. Her apprenticeship with this prestigious design house in London solidified her desire to be a big international designer in her own right.
Not long after, her collection - Sunghee Bang - was born.
Find out more about Sunghee here & view her runway presentation of SS12 during Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion show here.
