Miss Sohee - Spring Couture 2026

Sohee Park has never been afraid of spectacle, but this season she turned contemplation into theatre. As the story goes, the London-based designer was sipping tea in her native South Korea, looking out at a shifting landscape, when inspiration struck. The result was a collection that treated nature as muse and mirror, translating sky, land and plumage into form. A white peacock glided down the runway alongside one model, its feathers echoing throughout the show in scalloped peplum skirts, fish-scale embroideries, and clouds of two-tone lace. Each look felt part dream, part mythology, as though born from the same vision seen through Park’s imagined window.

Park’s background in fine art was everywhere, from wisteria-like embroideries that sprawled across organza to brushstroke prints reminiscent of traditional ink painting. Sculptural brass pieces by Kirk Maxson and Armando Farfan Jr. adorned gowns shaped like cherry blossom and bamboo, turning fabric into living sculpture. Her signature theatricality remained intact, but what impressed most was the technical complexity: layers of tulle, lace, and silk arranged with architectural precision. The interplay of fragility and grandeur made every piece look as though it belonged in motion, somewhere between fashion show and fantasy film.

For Park, who launched Miss Sohee in 2020, this season marked a deepening of her visual language. Transparency played a key role: corsets layered over mesh, translucent bamboo gowns, and a bridal dress so sheer that embroidery became its only modesty. Her final bride wore a gown whose train unfurled like a windowpane, each panel a delicate tableau in tone-on-tone stitching. It was a study in transformation, where fabric became landscape and the female form became the frame. With Coco Rocha returning to the runway in two dramatic looks, Park reminded the audience that couture, at its best, is not just worn but performed.
