It’s just too tempting not to say, Yumi Kim is “yummy”. I found it a number of years ago when shopping the LA market. Wrote a small order for some of her gorgeous print tops to test the fit and started selling them “out of the box”. Don’t you love it when that happens. Her prints are bold and full of vibrant color which I think we need in fashion right now. Some fun, a little flirtyness, lots of temptation. Yumi Kim has it all.
She’s getting lots of press these days, Lucky Magazine’s March ‘10 Issue, US Weekly, and more!
Kim Phan started her fashion career by making clothes for her Barbie dolls at the age of seven. Next she revamped her mother’s old shirts by cutting and adding trimming to each piece way before “vintage” was in. With a love for fashion and a fresh degree from San Diego State University she moved to New York City. Through a job in the music industry began working with celebrities, stylists and fashion trendsetters. Then in 2004 she created YUMI KIM, a line inspired by her personal esthetic; vintage prints and silhouettes…with a touch of funk and urban femininity.In Fall of 2008, Phan opened her first flagship store in New York’s Lower Eastside. “I wanted the Yumi Kim flagship store to be a direct reflection of my personality and style: fun and flirty with bits of quirkiness and hip appeal,” said Phan. “And I want the Yumi Kim customer to instantly feel effortlessly stylish every time she wears one of my pieces.”
I love the fact that she actually does cute dresses with sleeves like the one below.
