London-based designer Zi Kim works at the intersection of craftsmanship, intuition, and modern refinement. Her world of clothing and jewellery is defined by tactile clarity, emotional subtlety, and a quiet yet unmistakable point of view.
Her clothing (Wonderound) blends workwear-inspired tailoring, hand-painted textiles, delicate embroidery, and upcycled sportswear reinvented with artisanal precision, often punctuated by playful artist collaborations—hand-drawn motifs and sketch-like embroidery that introduce a spontaneous, almost childlike charm. Kim also develops and designs refined jumpsuits that reinterpret functional silhouettes into pieces with subtle elegance. These gestures bring a lightness to her constructions, creating garments that feel precise yet gently unpredictable.
In jewellery, Ornament & Crime, Kim works with silver, gold, and pearls, applying hand-painted and textured techniques to shape intimate, sculptural objects that feel closer to personal artefacts than accessories. Each piece carries a sense of touch, time, and individuality.
Kim’s work sits at a precise meeting point of discipline and instinct. Her constructions are clean and intentional, yet subtly animated by the hand—small gestures that add texture and presence. The result is clothing and jewellery that reveal their detail over time, encouraging a closer look and a more deliberate way of engaging.
