KIMMY J’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection titled “7696 KARMA”, says it all. Her collection delivers the idea of “Karma”, that fate is decided on by the previous state of your existence, and “7696”, which combines her and her parents’ birth years. Through old school hip-hop, and “retro vintage” patterns inspired by East Asian culture, Kim combines futuristic synthetic material to interlock the two time periods, portraying her story of “Karma”.
