The designer’s latest collection blends goddess-inspired silhouettes, delicate fabrics, dramatic draping and cinematic influence

For his Spring/Summer 2027 couture eveningwear collection, “Séraphine,” designer Andrew Kwon looked to the idea of goddesses walking among us — blending the earthly with something more celestial.

“The silhouettes around the collection are very ethereal,” Kwon tells LifeMinute TV. Draping plays a major role, along with intricate embroidery, flowing shapes and diaphanous fabrics designed to feel light and almost otherworldly.

The materials come from around the world and include some of the most delicate fabrics Kwon has worked with, with tulle and chiffon playing key roles throughout the collection. He points to both the opening look, with its layered laces and draping, and the final look as two standout moments — calling the finale a true showstopper.

Music is also a major part of Kwon’s creative process. He says cinematic music and opera are constant inspirations, while “Anya” played a particularly strong role in shaping this season’s mood, bringing what he describes as a Lord of the Rings and goddess-like quality to the collection.

That sense of softness and drama extends into Kwon’s own home style, too. He gravitates toward whites, muted tones, pastels and neutrals with unexpected pops of color — a palette echoed in “Séraphine,” which begins in softer tones before moving into darker motifs and richer color toward the end.

Hey, guys, it's Andrew Kwon and you're watching the LifeMinute TV. The inspiration for this season. The collection is called Séraphine, so it's something crossing the worlds of goddesses that walk among us today. And the celestial being.

And the silhouettes around the collection are very ethereal. Everything is very draped. There's some pieces that have incredible embroidery that really plays into the silhouettes of the collection, but it's very flowy. Everything is very diaphanous.

Very Andrew Kwon. The fabrics come from all over the world, some of the most delicate fabrics that could probably rip by just literally walking. A lot of precision that's coming into it, tule is another big player, starting from the roots of the collection as well as chiffons. I would say the opening look is something that I was very excited about playing with this dichotomy of layering laces and, different types of draping.

But also, I would say the last look, it's such a showstopper, and I'm very excited about that. Music plays a huge part of my design process and my everyday, and my team goes crazy when I play my playlists all the time. But I listen to a lot of cinematic music... opera. But I would say for this collection, Anya is someone that has been a huge inspiration in this collection and, you know, very Lord of the Rings and very goddess.

My home style compared to my design style. When you come to my house, there's a lot of white muted tones, pastels going on, a lot of neutrals, but there's always pops of color throughout my place that you'll see. And when you see the collection, you'll see that it really starts off with the neutral tone. And towards the end there are little dark motifs and pops of color, so I would say they coincide with each other.
