Fashion bloggers all over the world are crazy about celebrated shoe designer Minju Kim, winner of the 2013 H&M Design Award. While international fans try to get their hands on her shoes online, Seoulites can get easy access on this small street in Tojeong-ro. Progressive fashionistas will hunt down her shoes for their platform heels, unusual patterns and bold colors that seem to go with her brand’s namesake. Currently available are shoes from their “Ottopi Just Landed” collection, which showcases an illustrated alien with wide-eyes and stripes, but they update their shoe line-up seasonally. Even for those that may not be able to afford the shoes, they might be worth checking out just for the artistic elements.
