Introducing fashion label Vleeda

1/6

South Korean fashion designer Daeun Lee launched her label Vleeda in 2014, creating pieces suitable for the modern women who appreciate art and have a unique sense of style.

This explains why many of the prints on her pieces are themed around artwork that have inspired Lee.

The designer’s pieces have been spotted on Korean pop ballad duo Davichi and girl group Twice.

And for the first time in Singapore, Lee will be launching her label through multi-label online retailer SocietyA. Here, we ask the up-and-rising designer for her advice on how to emulate the iconic Korean style.

The three trends that women should stop trying…

Lee: It’s time to ditch the sweatshirts that have meaningless letters on them. Skinny jeans and choppy bangs are two other trends that should also retire this year.

A simple and quick way of updating the work outfit…

Lee: You can always use a printed twilly scarf. Tie it around your neck to complement your shirt, or simply wrap it around tightly on your bag handle. It’ll glam up your look instantly.

The one dress that makes women look stylish and feel comfortable at the same time…

6/6

Lee: I’ll recommend wearing a printed jersey wrap dress. It’s very comfortable because of the jersey material. Plus, it has an hourglass silhouette, meaning you’ll look slimmer wearing it.
