“ ALAND, the gateway to fashion designers in Seoul, will continue to introduce designers who are at the center of K fashion by launching Minju Kim's second brand in the United States.”

On May 14th 2021, The Next in Fashion winner Minju Kim, will be launching her second brand 'Mbrary' at the ALAND store in American Dream Mall.

ALAND is at the center of South Korean fashion in Seoul and is known for attracting trend setters. First established in South Korea, ALAND currently has retail stores in Japan, Singapore, and Thailand.

In 2018, ALAND opened its very first U.S. flagship store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and in October 2020, it opened its second store at the American Dream Mall.

Minju Kim, the winner of Next in Fashion, will be showcasing her new fashion brand 'Mbrary' in collaboration with ALAND at the American Dream. The brand "Mbrary,' is a blended word between the designer name Minju Kim and the Library. Mbrary is inspired by Minju Kim's drawing collections, and her willingness to display them in a simpler and more casual way to the audience.

Minju Kim is set to showcase 'Mbrary' with her first collection 'Eyes of the hero,' and is planning to release graphic t-shirts and caps. Eco Bags will also be launched in collaboration with ALAND, which also features Minju Kim's award winning designs in the past.
