At 17, Johan Ku started his career as a graphic designer, and in 2005, he established his own design studio. He has won many overseas awards including his “”Emotional Sculpture”” collection which won Gen Art’s Design Vision of Avant Garde Award in New York in 2009, when he was studying at Central Saint Martins MA Fashion course. In 2010, his “”Re-Sculpture”” and “”Emotional Sculpture”” collections became examples in a British knitwear textbook alongside famous designers such as Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Rodarte.
Based on the idea of breaking through the boundaries between fashion and art, the distinct features of Johan Ku’s design is creating dynamic expressions through the combination of sculpture-like silhouettes with the unique textures of knitted fabric.
