SEON Korean Fashion is a 2023 identity study from the studio’s design files: a lockup for a Korean fashion name. No client, brief or launch is on record, so it is shown as a study. The whole idea sits inside the square — S and O printed black on white, E and N cut out of a black slab — with a hairline down the left edge and the full name set small and narrow beneath.

01The lockup

Half printed,
half cut out.

The square splits down the middle. On the left, S and O are plain black letters on white. On the right, a black slab fills the column and E and N are cut out of it, the N’s diagonal leaving a small black wedge at its foot. Read across, the word turns from positive to negative halfway through; a hairline on the left and the narrow, widely spaced SEON KOREAN FASHION beneath hold the block together.

02Colour

Black, white
and a blush.

The 2023 boards keep colour to almost nothing: the lockup in black or white, and one soft blush, #FDCBC8, for posts and posters. The only other colour in the files is the violet of a round sign lit at night. We kept exactly those four and added none.

03Tote and tee

A line on the bag,
a mark on the chest.

The 2023 boards put the lockup on a black tee and a black tote, and gave the tote a line: “Stay young, wild, and free.” We re-set both flat — a serif close to the original, the full stop that had fallen onto a line of its own brought back to the end of the sentence, the lockup small in the corner — and left the stock mockup photographs out.

SEON Korean Fashion is a 2023 studio identity study; no client, brief or launch is on record. The lockup on this page is drawn from the paths of the original vector file (Illustrator, 2 March 2023), unchanged. The construction drawing, colour plates and the flat tee, tote and round sign are 2026 portfolio work re-set from the 2023 boards; the tote line is set in Hoefler Text, close to the original serif. The 2023 boards were built on stock photographs of models and stock mockups (tee, tote, cap, wall sign, lightbox); none of it is shown. An AI-generated portrait and an AI hangtag scene from an earlier version of this page have been removed.
