Navy Military Jacket: Hyoni Kang

Hyoni recently opened a vintage reworking store REBORN PROCESS where this masterpiece was originally sold. While the likes of Chloé, Balmain, and Marc Jacobs were busy turning out military jackets in traditional camouflage colors, Hyoni skipped around town in a more unique take on the military trend with power shoulders, a coat-of-arms, gold buttons, and her usual bright smile.

About a year and a half ago I first met Hyoni on her way to a casting.  Now she owns her own clothing store in Soho called  Reborn Process. I think it's cool to see how models evolve not only in terms of their own personal style, but as a person outside of the industry too.

Her client list includes a VOGUE Korea cover, numerous V editorials, Victoria's Secret PINK work, and a Lacoste campaign among others.   She's even partners in a new vintage reworking business aptly named REBORN PROCESS which will be located in Soho and will have an online home within weeks.
