The Korean Cultural Center in Spain transforms into a Fashion Cultural Center with the launch of the third edition of the K-Fashion exhibition, an initiative that began in 2022 to bring Korean fashion and culture to Spain and support Korean designers who are making an impact worldwide.

From Dreams to Reality
Award-winning Yerim Kim, who since the age of 14 harbored dreams of dedicating herself to fashion and establishing her own brand, eventually founded her brand EYES in 2019.
