London\u2019s calling card in the fashion industry has long been its role as a hub for fresh young talent, catapulting local names like Kane, Pilotto, Katrantzou and the like to global status. Seoul-born designer and London convert Eudon Choi<\/a> seems next to head for the stratosphere.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Eudon<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting from the beginning, why did you choose London for your women\u2019s wear education? It’s a far move from Seoul, after all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to stretch myself and get a European perspective on fashion so I applied for the womenswear MA at the Royal College of Art and was lucky enough to get a place. I fell in love with London almost immediately and even while studying I knew I wanted to make it my home.<\/p>\n

What do you think makes London such a nurturing place for up-and-coming designers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

London is the best place in the world to be for a young designer. There is some much talent, freedom to experiment, and support here. All of these things helped me get to where I am today.<\/p>\n

\"Eudon<\/a> \"Eudon<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there any pressure to stand out as a designer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I don\u2019t see myself competing with other designers because think I have a distinct point of view, nor do I see myself as the next this or the next that. I just continue to do what I do in evolving the Eudon Choi aesthetic.<\/p>\n

And how would you characterize that aesthetic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a nutshell, it\u2019s masculine yet feminine. I also stress a mix of fabrics and the exploration of textures.<\/p>\n

Do any influences from your childhood or hometown come into play in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes I see it in my work. For me, it\u2019s all about the cut and engineering of a garment and the juxtaposing of textures, but I wouldn\u2019t say that that is because I am Korean.<\/p>\n

What about your background in menswear?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I focused on menswear initially because I could then just design the type of clothes that I wanted to wear. When I moved to womenswear, I think that those techniques really helped make the clothes wearable.<\/p>\n

Would you ever be interested in adding a menswear branch to your label?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Never say never! I would love to design menswear again but for the moment, I want to focus on evolving and perfecting my women\u2019s wear collections.<\/p>\n

You made your LFW debut with your A\/W 2010 collection. Would you say your point of view has changed since then?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I definitely have more confidence now that when I started. I started my label out of a desire to create things and to present my own personal aesthetic, but I never imagined that things would develop as they have!<\/p>\n

Any lessons learned?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is really important to have a strong sense of what you are doing and who you are so that the opinions of other people do not sway you.<\/p>\n

Looking forward, what do you have in store for your brand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, aside from expanding, I am working on two exciting collaborations at the moment, one with a major high-street brand. Unfortunately, I am sworn to secrecy so I can\u2019t tell you anything more!<\/p>\n

We know you’re keeping hush about A\/W 2013. Perhaps you’re willing to dish to Wonderland<\/em> even the smallest of hints for the upcoming season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well what can I say\u2026 One of my references is Doctor Zhivago, the 1965 film by David Lean. As for the rest, you will have to wait and see!<\/p>\n
