Designer Profile
Yuna Yang
Stemming from Seoul, Manhattan-based designer, artist and educator Yuna Yang is the epitome of today’s fashion Renaissance woman. Her eponymous label, the YUNA YANG COLLECTION, is inspired by the colors, textures and narratives in fine art combined with her love of detail and unique Eastern perspective on Western aesthetics. Featuring women’s high-end designer wear, each design in the collection leverages a modern vision that harmonizes the quality of traditional couture. Proudly designed and made in New York, Yang uses materials from around the world for her collection that can be found in selected high-end boutiques across the US, Middle East and Asia.
Following her initial degree in Fine Arts from Ewha Women’s University, Seoul, Yang’s true foray into fashion began after completing her design studies at Instituto Marangoni, Milan. Milan-based designer Alviero Martini offered her the rare opportunity to design evening dresses for Milan Fashion Week. Shortly after, Yuna received a second B.A. in Womenswear Design at Central Saint Martins, while having worked with designers Ann-Sofie Back and Clements Ribeiro.
