Where Is Next in Fashion S1 Winner Minju Kim Now?
After winning Next in Fashion, Minju Kim has been more successful than ever now. She’s still working on her brand MINJUKIM and has most recently launched her Fall/Winter 2022 collection.
The brand even went on to be featured in Vogue Korea in 2023, and now has its own flagship store in South Korea.
Moreover, she’s collaborated with the brand & Other Stories for the Spring/Summer season of 2022. Their collection included accessories such as hair clips, scrunchies, sunglasses, and printed socks.
Also, with winning money, she launched a collection on Net-a-Porter. Her collection was still on the site which consisted of 8 pieces, including skirts and dresses.
And not to mention, the star is still being remembered for unparalleled victory in the first season of Next in Fashion, which aired three years ago! A fan just wrote on her IG, “Just finished Next in Fashion and you are spectacular. I’ve rooted for you since the first episode. Glad the brand hasn’t stopped being a wow factor.”
Overall, Minju’s schedule is filled with work, interviews, and filming.
For those who missed Minju on Next in Fashion, she won the competition with her 10 breathtaking design pieces in the final round. Throughout the competition, her designs received high appraisal for their voluminous silhouettes and feminine details in playful patterns — which is the identity of Kim and her brand.
Fun Fact: When Minju was a student at Antwerp Fashion Department (graduated in 2013), she dreamed of coming back to the school as Jury one day. In June 2022, her dream finally came true as the academy asked her to be a part of the jury for Walter & Yvonne’s beautiful retirement.
How Much Is Minju Kim Net Worth?
Minju Kim flaunted a net worth of above $700 thousand by 2023.
A Seoul-based fashion designer, Minju learned her trade at the famous Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. During her time there, she even won the H&M Design Award as a student working on capsule collections with the fast fashion brand while also being shortlisted for the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in 2014.
In 2015, she then launched her eponymous brand, and soon she was working with leading K-pop groups such as BTS and Red Velvet. Her works are now popular for being voluminous and wearable and for their sophisticated coloring that is uniquely feminine.
Besides designing, Minju now also works as a lecturer because she likes her past work and doesn’t want to regret being idle with her art pieces. “I didn’t give up because I love what I did. Some people say designers should not look back. But I think my past works can create the next me; my new work. That’s why I want to do my best and be more honest with myself,” she explained.
The designer aspires to inspire more people through her work.
She even has an award titled to her name for students at the Antwerp Fashion Department who stands out for his/her unique graphic and drawing language.
