To celebrate ten years of Yuul Yie s unstoppable rise, this is the first illustrated monograph dedicated to the Korean women s shoe brand founded by Sunyuul Yie in 2010. The footwear line combines cultured artistic, architectural, and pictorial references with the skillful use of Italian leather and a single goal for its couture: simple and high-quality design and workmanship accompanied by a sober and sophisticated style. The label prides itself on its unique and unexpectedly elegant designs. From its color-blocked mules to its pearl-heeled boots, Yuul Yie s distinct aesthetic is trendy yet timeless, thoughtful, daring, and undeniably chic. It s no secret that Asian footwear brands are taking the Western fashion world by storm, and Yuul Yie s designs continue to dominate among fashion tastemakers across the globe.
