Playful and full of character—Park Hyunjoo definitely has fun with fashion, and it shows through her daily ensembles. The South Korean content creator is not afraid to break the rules and play with proportions, pairing sneakers with fancy frocks or layering delicate lace pieces over casual separates, always with an offbeat yet personable edge. With Chloë Sevigny and Youn Yuh-jung as her style icons, Park strives to stay true to herself in spite of changing trends.

On The Streets: The Best Street Style Trends To Try From Spring/Summer 2024

ALL IN THE GENES

“They often sigh at the amount of things in my wardrobe, but honestly I inherited my love for clothes from my parents. I love mixing things up and experimenting with different styles; it excites me!”

GOOD MIX

“I’d describe my style as a mix between elegant with an edge. I haven’t always been confident about my style, but after a lot of trial and error, I finally found what suits me and the look I’m pursuing.”

SKIN DEEP

“Everyone is obsessed with K-beauty. Here are my tips: use a mask every day, be it a sheet mask or wash-off packs—Numbuzin, Dr Jart, and Abib have great ones. Two key daily habits include a cup of hot tea in the morning, and changing my pillowcase every day—very important.”

HEAD OVER HEELS

“While Miu Miu was a favourite this season (I love the ruffled mini skirt), my sight was fixed on the wedding dress at Chanel’s spring/summer 2024 haute couture show—I’m getting married next year.”

BAG OF DREAMS

“If money wasn’t an issue, the Hermès Birkin bag [would be] on my list, followed by a Porsche 911 vintage car. Ah, the dream.”
