"Komune is an experiential fashion retailer focused on championing emerging designers and creatives."
A September 2023 popup backed by a thoughtful team of artisanal fashion enthusiasts invited gsongim to present at her first physical shop experience. Through reinforced media content and collaborative projects, the Lower East Side of contemporary NYC was curated.

Eddie freehands drawings from architectural to abstract sketching. On a collage of excess lamb leather hide ends, I manually machine stitch to bind nylon into a layered strap. The tattoo strap wraps on the body to carry objects loosely.

Robbie creates otherworldly forms. He sculpted a 3D render of a 316L steel cage onto my circle accessory of riri zipper and coated cow suede. The orbit pouch is fitted as an object with a purpose.

Makayla is a rare craftsman who shares an intricate love for leather like I do. From design, patternmaking, to sewing, is a heavily considered multi-functional carryall that fits a laptop, notebooks, pens, your everything. The studio bookbag is a culmination of obsessive techniques.

Zine—2D Design
@will.ip


Willie curates a lucid idealism of typography. A simple booklet explaining my projects portrays storytelling in the clearest form of a brand zine. It is surrounded by an oversized vellum cover with its body on Strathmore sheets sewn with gsongim nylon bonded tex70 thread.
