Collections lean on classic shapes delivered with bold and humorous twists and cinematic storytelling. The label sells through its own online shop and a list of stockists.
Best for Gender-fluid Humanswear with street-casual roots and a high-end finish
pushBUTTON is a Seoul fashion label launched in 2010 by creative director Seung Gun Park. The house describes itself as a hybrid brand, combining street-casual references with a more polished finish. Its central idea is Humanswear, a gender-fluid approach intended to move beyond fixed age and gender categories. That term is not a general description imposed from outside; it is the label's own name for its design vision. Collections begin with familiar shapes, then use altered proportion and humour through cinematic storytelling to change their effect. The first-party material also places the work in Seoul, where the label presents seasonal collections. These details give pushBUTTON a clear authorship and method. Seung Gun Park provides the named creative direction, the 2010 launch fixes the chronology, and Humanswear explains the intended wearer. The Seoul label translates street clothing through concept and silhouette rather than undifferentiated streetwear.

Seoul label launched in 2015 by designer Yoona Yang as Korea's first vegan fashion brand, replacing leather and fur with cruelty-free materials across mix-and-match ready-to-wear and accessories.
Best for Korean vegan fashion without leather or wool
Vegan Tiger was established in Seoul in 2015 by designer Yoona Yang and is described in Korean press and industry directories as Korea's first vegan fashion brand. The name deliberately pairs two words that don't usually go together - 'vegetarian' and 'tiger' - to signal the brand's core idea: that eschewing animal-derived materials doesn't mean giving up strength or edge in design. The label's stated mission is to end the exploitation of fur animals by giving shoppers a wider range of cruelty-free choices, building collections from sustainable alternative materials rather than leather or fur. Its work has been covered as part of Seoul Fashion Week's broader sustainability push, and the brand's founder was profiled by The Kraze in 2021 discussing the label's origins and design philosophy. Vegan Tiger sells through its own webstore as well as multi-brand retailers such as The Selects. The company is registered with Seoul's creative-industry directory (KOCCA).
