YUNJI LEE Flatter Your Body Womenswear Collection
Flatter Your Body Womenswear Collection is Silver Design Award winner in 2020 - 2021 Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design Award Category.
Flatter Your Body Womenswear Collection

In her collection, Flatter Your Body, Yunji Lee presents a revamped version of corsets. Using angles and optical illusion, the designs alter the shape of any figure without the discomfort of original corsets. This collection consists of unbalanced and oversized versions of classic items such as suits, tailored jackets, and dresses with menswear elements. Most compelling is the light-weight wool dress, with straps that can be adjusted around the bust, waist, and hips to flatter the body. It seems that even the word fitted can take on a whole new shape.
