Kim-possible

Nope, this isn't about that iconic animated series from the early 2000s. 

But make no mistake, I loved watching that series.

This is about another series that was the subject of my binge-watching this weekend - "Next in Fashion."

Simply put, "Next in Fashion" was Netfilx's foray into "Project Runway" territory. It was a fashion design reality show featuring 18 designers - both established and aspiring - vying to be the next big thing in fashion.

What's interesting about the cast of this series is that some of them are actually quite famous in their hometowns. Designers like Angel Chen who already has multiple stores in China and is considered a young fashion wunderkind at home. There's Daniel Fletcher who's also the Creative Director of Fiorucci. There's Marco Morante who has a big following in LA. And that's just a fraction of the cast.

So, to say that this was a competition of the best-of-the-best could be considered an understatement.

Among the 18 designers, there was one who really caught my eye from Episode 1. She's the very humble, very unassuming, yet supremely talented Minju Kim.

Minju Kim is from Seoul, and her design aesthetic was very true to her roots. She was unconventional, innovative, with an eye for prints, patterns and proportions. Even the way she dressed during the competition was very Seoul.

She wore a lot of loose clothes, jumpers, aprons, long sleeved shirts with pants, and a lot of layering. She also was very Asian in a sense that she didn't want a lot of attention, she was very self-effacing, and would be genuinely surprised when she won a challenge.

That's why it was such a joy to see her when she (Korean) won everything. (Sorry, I couldn't help it. Harhar.)

Yes, Minju Kim is the Next in Fashion!

Her winning moment was truly magical. And I've watched and re-watched that moment several times the past few days.

Now, I have to find her store the next time I go to Seoul.
