Yeojin Bae

LOS ANGELES--Australian fashion is synonymous with bright palettes and beach-ready styles. But Yeojin Bae is breaking the mold with her namesake line of tailored separates, dresses and tops. A tightly edited, sleek collection that is often situated alongside such names as Vanessa Bruno and Stella McCartney, Bae's line has been around for just four years. But, she's coming into her own this season with slick metallic suits, as well as elegant dresses and separates that play with both silhouette (including some cut-outs) and form. We caught up with Bae last week at a trunk show, where she was showcasing her wares for spring. With an e-shop freshly launched and her first solo fashion show taking place in Sydney next fashion week, Bae is assuredly a star on the rise. We talked to her about her favorite LA spots and the ever-changing Australian fashion landscape. What brought you to LA this week?
