Semasilk is located on the first floor of the Kookmin Bank building at 199 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu. Inside the workshop, vintage fabric-cutting machines and rolls of silk sit alongside EENK's collection pieces. A silk scarf drapes over a black polka-dot jacket, a neatly hung design sheet beside a plaid blouse. The line between the everyday rhythm of a traditional workshop and a runway collection blurs into something unexpectedly striking.
Through this collection, EENK revisits the enduring essence of tailoring. Polka-dot jackets, plaid blouses, silk scarves—all classic elements—gain fresh context within Semasilk's walls. Modern and traditional, luxury and everyday, Western silhouettes and Korean sensibility. The tension born from the collision of two disparate worlds anchors the collection.
The phrase 'FW 2026 PRESENTATION / D for Duplicity' is etched onto glass panels throughout the space. Visitors walk through Semasilk's working interiors while encountering the collection. The space EENK chose is not mere backdrop but another language that articulates the collection itself. How do you envision the meeting of fashion and heritage?
