## What counts, and what we leave out

This is an introduction, not a ranking. We chose twelve labels that between them cover Korean menswear, womenswear, streetwear, eyewear and hanbok, and that have a public record we could check.

Paris facts come from the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode’s official calendars for every season from FW24 to SS27, which we read ourselves. On those calendars, Korean labels showing or presenting included WOOYOUNGMI, JUUN.J, Solid Homme, SONGZIO and SYSTEM in menswear, and KIMHĒKIM, EENK, TIME and, until 2025, Rokh in womenswear. Where sources disagree on a date, the profile says so.

Facts were checked on 22 October 2026. If you represent one of these labels and see something out of date, send us a correction.
