Birth of a Brand: Maison Miseon

I decided to get back out there at the age of 54 and after having only always looked after my family as a mother and wife. I didn’t want to give up either my job or my family, but it is not possible to take care of everything at the same time.
The line of the brand Maison Miseon is a mix between the oriental philosophy and the excellent Italian craftsmanship, it is intended to be essential and sporty and elegant at the same time. The clothing items fit people of any age, with a strong personality and they can be worn both during the working day and in the evening for having good time. I pay a lot of attention to the quality of the materials, which are mainly natural, I care of the details and the satisfaction of my clients.

My Biography
I was born 1963 in South-Korea just 10 year after the war in a difficult economic situation. I am the youngest of 4 brothers, the other ones are all boys. From what I can remember I found my passion in arts. I play the piano and the guitar, I paint with watercolors, I make ceramic, and I can still remember the very first clothes cut out by using the curtains of my house and the subsequent reaction of my mother, not so enthusiastic (euphemism!). But I did not give up! Absolutely not!
With a big help and sacrifices of my family and my commitment, I graduated in Arts & Crafts and then I graduated in Fashion at “The Institute of Kook-je” in Seoul. After several years of work in Seoul, I decided to work abroad to improve my professional background. 
I was undecided between going to Paris in France or to Milan in Italy; the two capitals of European fashion.
I chose Milan.
Between the end of the 80’s and the beginning of the 90’s I moved to Milan to attend, the courses of the European Institute of Design (IED) and at the same time the ones of Marangoni Institute. Moreover, in the same period I had been working for several companies, so I decided to study Italian language to better communicate with my Italian clients.
It was a very intense period of my life, but also really beautiful as I was preparing my future.
At the course of Italian language, I met Giovanni, French mother tongue, at that time working as analyst at a Milanese financial advisory company. After a few years I got graduated at both the Milanese Institutes and that allowed me to furthermore develop my work as designer with new collaborations. Shortly after Giovanni and me got married and moved to the Republic of San Marino. We both continued our work for a few years, but we also decided to have a child. Even in France and South Korea, the family is very important and counts more than anything. Therefore, not having family in the vicinity, I decided to pause my activity as a designer to grow and educate my son, obviously with my husband. Some things can only be passed on to children by their parents. In 2017 my son Francesco was of age, graduated from the scientific high school, model and 3rd Dan of Taekwondo. Definitely made as a mother, and wife, I decided over 50 years to get back into play and, on May 8, 2017 (day of the women's party), I took away a professional satisfaction by creating the brand "Maison Miseon".

My way of working
Given the numerous studies carried out in Korea and Italy I am highly qualified in knitwear, in the knowledge of materials and in the search for stitches.
I really want to keep the tradition of the past and, as a stylist, I want to personally carry out the first phase of the processing that goes up to the realization of the first prototype and, precisely, without using the computer. It is not an efficient procedure, but I do this work out of passion and I put my heart when I design a dress. Therefore, the very first sample must be made on my own. For me it is to see the launch of my idea. It's my way of working, my signature, my legacy.

The Brand Maison Miseon
1) Concept
The line, a mix between the oriental philosophy and the excellent Italian manufacture, wants to be essential and at the same time sporty and elegant. Clothing items are ideal for people of any age and with a strong personality.

2) The logo
Maison Miseon
“Maison” means “home” in French because I want to welcome you to my home.
“Mi” means “beautiful”
“Seon” means “good”
“Mi Seon” is nothing but my real name.

3) The symbol:
The octagon recalls the symbolic meaning of the number 8 which corresponds to the perfect rhythm of harmony and happiness and is universally regarded as the number of cosmic equilibria. The eight is also a magic number in nuclear physics expression of stability. Rotated 90 ° is the symbol of infinity where time, symbolized by the hourglass, never ends; while the drop is the symbol of nature and creation. As a doubling of the number 4, the eight is a pragmatic number that highlights the qualities of a leader.
The logo therefore has a strongly positive connotation.

My line
I make clothing mainly for women and accessories such as bags and jewelry.

My ideal woman is strong, determined and modern. Her look reflects his decisive and free personality. Because women are like that. She's fine with herself, has a thousand interests and manages to reach any goal. My clothes can be worn in the morning to go to the office in the evening at a party. They are therefore comfortable, elegant and made with excellent raw materials by highly specialized companies.

Some suggestions
Woman's sweater, pure cashmere, with stylized collar and cuffs. The garment is very soft and refined.
The shirt is light for the high quality of cashmere.
