DESIGN NARRATIVE · 01SS 2026 COLLECTION
Born
from the
Cheollik
In the court registers of Joseon, the Cheollik was never merely garment — it was grammar. A language of rank, movement, and belonging worn across six centuries of Korean ceremony. TCHAI KIM returns to this primary vocabulary not to quote history, but to speak it again in a new register.
The motif woven through this piece draws from the acrobatic energy of the Namsadangpae, wandering performers whose costumes were a kind of portable architecture: layered, asymmetric, alive.
“We do not recreate the past.
We make it breathe again.”— KIM YOUNGJIN, FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

THE MATERIAL
Craft held
to a higher
register
Sourced from a third-generation weaving atelier in Gyeonggi-do, the 80-count silk cotton blend that forms each Cheollik piece achieves two seemingly contradictory qualities: structural weight and effortless movement. The tight count produces a matte depth characteristic of Joseon court textiles, while the natural elasticity of the cotton content allows the pleated skirt panels to billow with the body rather than against it.
Dry clean only. Store away from direct sunlight and press at a low temperature through a cloth.
