young n sang

Founded in 2018 by designers Youngshin Hong and Sanglim Lee, who met in middle school, Young N Sang is a high-end brand built on sustainability and experimental craftsmanship. From their atelier in Seoul, the duo transforms waste fabrics and secondhand clothing into new garments through meticulous patchworking and traditional hand-weaving techniques. This commitment to upcycling is driven by a desire to address environmental pollution within the fashion industry and to create zero-waste collections.\n\nThe brand’s design philosophy centers on creating “ageless wear” that transcends generations, a concept they’ve highlighted by featuring one of the designer’s grandfathers in a lookbook. The aesthetic merges streetwear sensibilities with artisanal, couture-like details, drawing inspiration from Korean culture, such as the styles of street vendors or serene rural landscapes. Young N Sang has gained significant international recognition, having been featured at Pitti Uomo, London, and Milan Fashion Weeks, and praised by Vogue Talents for their innovative and sustainable approach.
