Mijeong Park, the founder and designer of her namesake brand, began her journey in Los Angeles in 2015.
She was born in Tongyeong, a small coastal town in southern Korea, where her father was a master craftsman who designed and created **Najeonchilgi - traditional Korean lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Growing up surrounded by his quiet artistry, she developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and refined detail.
After studying Fashion Design and Art History at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Park worked as a designer for several Korean brands before moving to Los Angeles, where she continued her career in fashion. In the summer of 2015, an unexpected trip inspired her to establish her own label, Mijeong Park.
Park finds inspiration in solitude. She enjoys reading essays and books on architecture and interiors, listening to music, and spending time in nature. With a tomboyish sensibility and a dislike for excess, she gravitates toward what is relaxed, understated, and quietly elegant. Her designs reflect that same spirit - simple yet refined, modest yet confident, honest and enduring.
Park encourages a mindful wardrobe: choose only what you need, and wear it often. It’s a small act of simplicity that matters - for this generation and the next.
The brand works with fair trade certified and inspected manufacturers in South Korea and Northeast China, prioritizing quality and longevity over trend-driven production. Simple packaging, thoughtful material choices, and a commitment to pieces built to last are at the core of the label's philosophy. Since 2018, a portion of all sales supports elementary art education in underserved LA communities.
