Concept Korea Fall/Winter 2026

At Paris Fashion Week, Korea Creative Content Agency and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism presented the Fall/Winter 2026 edition of Concept Korea at the Palais de Tokyo, reinforcing the growing presence of Korean designers on the international fashion stage. The programme brought together three labels, KIMHĒKIM, RE RHEE and BONBOM, each presenting new collections that reflected the breadth of contemporary K-fashion.

KIMHĒKIM opened the programme with a standalone runway show marking the brand’s tenth anniversary. Titled “Enter the Spectrum,” the collection distilled the label’s decade-long design language into a concise statement. Sculptural hair pieces and sharply controlled silhouettes set the tone before evolving into looks defined by increasingly refined tailoring and embellishment. The collection demonstrated how the house continues to expand its signature aesthetic while drawing on techniques associated with classic French couture.

The following day, RE RHEE and BONBOM shared the runway, presenting two distinct yet complementary visions. RE RHEE’s collection, titled “Inherited, Rebuilt,” reflected on heritage and continuity, translating traditional influences into modern silhouettes without resorting to literal reinterpretation. BONBOM approached the season through contrast, pairing structured, military-inspired tailoring with softer fabrics and layered textures that emphasised both strength and femininity. The programme also drew wider attention thanks to the appearance of K-pop artist Alpha Drive One, the official ambassador of Concept Korea, whose presence helped attract press and audiences while further amplifying the global visibility of Korean fashion.
