About
KOREDOKO is an ongoing project about object-making by Brian Dinh.
Founded in 2020, this project explores a design language built off of lofty and exaggerated forms. Using apparel to alter the body's contour, it also addresses the historical context of clothing to dress oneself. What looks laborious is actually quite simple to put on. When considering the Victorian Era, clothing for men and women was often designed to require the assistance of another set of hands—KD approaches design with a similar complicated, feminine facade, but includes the relative simplicity of menswear.
It operates as an extremely small and limited made-to-order batch system to promote sustainability practices, cycling out designs in various materials, color-ways before quietly archiving.
Ultimately as a DIY byproduct, this project is meant to express a deep desire to prioritize the act of creation. As it stands today, KD is a seasonless women's wear brand, made-to-order in Los Angeles—originally forged as homesewn operation.
