Kim launched her self-named, Seoul-based company MINJUKIM in 2015. She is known for starting her fashion shows with a design featuring a core, self-designed print that appears throughout the rest of the collection. Her 2018 Fall collection print was based on
Galaxy Express 999. She also teaches design classes at
Kookmin University. As winner Kim received US$250,000 from
Net-a-Porter to launch a collection for sale on their site. Kim was previously the winner of the 2013
H&M Design Award and was shortlisted for the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in 2014. In 2021, Kim collaborated with the brand
& Other Stories, a brand which is under the
H&M Group. The launch of her collection, the
Minjukim collection, quickly sold out and was largely successful. The limited collection was sold worldwide, and was sold out online within an hour on the Korean webstore. The
& Other Stories collab was inspired by Kim's Spring-Summer collection of 2016, which was her brand's second collection to debut. ==References==
