My favorite fashion designer is Andre Kim. He is very famous and popular in Korea. He is making a top brand name in a wide variety of goods, including golfwear, children’s clothing, underwear, cosmetics, eyewear, jewelry and even home fashions.Andre Kim presented his first fashion show in Paris, France in 1966. His creations were accorded such rave reviews that fashion editors of France, including one at Le Figaro, called him a ‘Magician from Fairyland.’
He was perhaps the first fashion maestro to stage a gala fashion parade in front the Pyramid of Egypt, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In the month of December in 2006, he presented an even more impressive gala fashion parade in front of another one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Ankor Wat in Cambodia. Again, this is the world’s first ever fashion show held in Ankor Wat.
Presenting such gala fashion shows in the capitals and other major cities around the world over the past four decades, Andre Kim has been fully introducing the excellence of the Korean culture and art to the outside world. He is a world-renowned maestro of fashion and art and an ambassador of culture and diplomacy.
