At Amorepacific, we are taking one step at a time to create a world of New Beauty, where everyone is encouraged to discover and appreciate their own true, natural beauty. There are people who share a similar path, those who are building an empire of beauty of their own. News Square visited and interviewed them who are creating beauty in different areas of the world. <\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> Our second interviewee is S\u00e9aa Lim, the first Korean haute couture designer of Dior, a global luxury fashion house. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div style=\"width:100%; height:1px; background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:52px; margin-bottom:10px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/15cce09d-40b1-4321-8b9a-e582099bcd03.jpg\" alt=\"\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt italic_txt\"> <strong> Using my unique qualities to their full potential has helped me form my own sense of self. Confidence stems from that identity. I\u2019ve come to realize that people see beauty in the self-assurance that comes with learning to love oneself. <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p> &#8211; S\u00e9aa Lim on her journey of discovering true beauty \u2026 \uff1cfrom the interview\uff1e- <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:800px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/1f7bdccb-1d91-433b-866b-685bb9acb77b.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> Generally, when we think of fashion-related occupations, we picture a fashion designer basking in the limelight. In reality, however, there is a lengthy and laborious procedure involved before any garment ever makes it to the runway. One of the most arduous and cumbersome areas of fashion is the haute couture. <strong>The work of many people, including pattern makers, tailors, and seamstresses, goes into making a single custom dress, which also includes S\u00e9aa Lim, the first Korean to work as a mod\u00e9liste in the Dior Haute Couture Atelier. <\/strong> The fashion industry, it is said, is more competitive than any other. Internship opportunities at prestigious fashion houses are in high demand, with applicants flooding in. We interviewed S\u00e9aa Lim, who works with great pride as an expert in the Parisian fashion industry, the center of global fashion, and asked her about her journey and if she had any advice for her juniors. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>Last spring, you appeared on \uff1cYou Quiz on the Block\uff1e, hosted by Yoo Jae-Suk, an extremely popular show in Korea. Please tell us about how you felt when you were initially contacted, and how you felt after the appearance? <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> I was thrilled when the show first contacted me because I\u2019ve been such a huge fan. Watching and listening to the stories of hard working people who appeared on the show pushed me to work harder. But I would be lying if I told you I wasn\u2019t worried or anxious. &#8220;What can I possibly talk about?&#8221; I thought. Once the show aired, however, I realized just how many people were interested in the jobs \u2018mod\u00e9liste\u2019 and \u2018pattern designer\u2019. I received a lot of words of encouragement and appreciation from those wishing to pursue a career in fashion. I was very glad that they found my story helpful. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>You are the first Korean mod\u00e9liste at Christian Dior. Not many people are familiar with the job, exactly what kind of work does a mod\u00e9liste do?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <strong>A precise pattern that takes into account the volume or technique is required to transform the designer&#8217;s sketch into actual clothing.<\/strong> Because of the time-consuming, labor-intensive nature of haute couture, the mod\u00e9liste needs to be involved in every step of the process, from fitting to alterations. This is why mod\u00e9listes are <strong>called pattern designers in North America, and mod\u00e9listes in France. <\/strong> The mod\u00e9liste\u2019s job includes making custom mannequins for each customer, designing patterns that flatter their unique physiques, studying every detail and step of the process until the garment is finished to explain to the couturi\u00e8res responsible for sewing. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:800px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/c605b1f7-4435-42f8-ab76-e111c1fa95d0.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>How is haute couture different from pr\u00eat \u00e0 porter ? What are some of the unique qualities of the haute couture industry? Are there any specific types of qualifications that these fashion houses look for when hiring new talent?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box flex_box flex_box1 left_flex\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"padding-right:50px;\"> Each piece of haute couture must be a work of art because it is made to order for a select clientele. Unlike pr\u00eat \u00e0 porter, which is mass-produced, haute couture is made specifically for one individual, which allows for more freedom of expression in terms of volume and technique. For example, a design that accentuates the hip line and a slender waist, like a Betty Boop dress, can be hard to pull off for some, such as Asian women, whose hips and pelvis are typically smaller than those of Westerners. But in haute couture, various \u2018tricks\u2019 can be played on the dress\u2019s design to make the wearer\u2019s silhouette look more glamorous than it actually is. In a way, a mod\u00e9liste\u2019s job is much like creating a completely new body silhouette, which requires a lot of originality and an in-depth study of the human body. Moreover, <strong>teams of two or three people need to work together for at least 200 hours to create one dress, making teamwork and focus absolutely crucial.<\/strong> <\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width:424px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/37da85c4-90f8-4319-ac01-825c7508ad42.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\">Although talent and expertise do matter, I believe <strong>the most essential quality is the ability to collaborate with other creative individuals and enjoy their company.<\/strong> Patience is also a great virtue in this field, as we\u2019re often required to work intently and repeatedly on the same pattern for days on end. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>What was your fashion journey like? Were there any difficulties you experienced while studying fashion? Also, what should students coming to Paris to study fashion consider when choosing their schools?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box flex_box right_flex\">\n<div style=\"max-width:424px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/704722e5-29da-44b4-973d-356297895923.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"padding-left:50px;\"> The Acad\u00e9mie Internationale de Coupe de Paris (AICP) is where I studied to become a mod\u00e9liste. There is a wide variety of employment opportunities in the fashion industry, so picking the right school depends on your interests, skills, and goals. Those who have made their names in the fashion industry typically look first for interns at the school from which they themselves graduated, which is why selecting the right school can be the first deciding factor. I found it challenging to keep up with the classes during my first year at AICP due to the abundance of jargon. I remember staying up all night translating the notes and terminology, trying to make sense of it all. The language barrier is what made the process so difficult. Not at all fluent in French back then, I wrote down words as I heard them or even drew them out to \u2018decipher\u2019 them later. I used those notes as my guide for several years even after I became a mod\u00e9liste. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve worked at numerous fashion houses, from Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, to Jacquemus. How were they different, and what lessons did you learn in the process?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box flex_box flex_box2 right_flex\">\n<div style=\"max-width:371px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/3341c882-0f6b-4241-998f-9eac368142cf.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"padding-left:50px;\"> Each fashion house has its own processes and systems. So, there is a saying in the fashion industry that <strong>moving to a different maison is like stepping into a whole new world.<\/strong> During my time at Paco Rabanne, I worked with a variety of unconventional sleeve shapes and metal materials, whereas at Jacquemus, I enjoyed interacting with a creative, forward-thinking team. I also assisted the former queen of Qatar, Sheikha Moza, when she was preparing the launch of her haute couture line, Qela, at its atelier in Qatar, where I got to work with some very expensive materials, on top of <strong>collaborating with local embroidery, print and corset artisans,<\/strong> which helped me hone my skills and expand the scope of my knowledge. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>Please share an interesting or memorable episode from your work. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> Recently, I had a client who was expecting a child. <strong>Because personal mannequins are designed and manufactured for each customer in the case of haute couture, I had to study her body type, the shape of her belly, and the position of the fetus at a specific point in pregnancy to make her mannequin.<\/strong> It was so meticulously made to the extent that I could call it a sculpture. During the last collection, <strong>there was a dress that required 25 different fabrics.<\/strong> We had to use charts and tables, making sure that they didn\u2019t get mixed up in the process. Several hundred meters of fabric went into making that dress. I guess all these one-of-a-kind experiences, or should I say experiments, are what makes haute couture special. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>You once said that the emerald-color dress worn by Sigourney Weaver was one of your most memorable works. Please tell us about some of the other pieces you worked on, and any behind-the-scenes stories.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> The Oscar season is by far the most stressful time in haute couture ateliers. This year I made Oscar gowns for Natalie Portman and Rachel Zegler, and <strong>for Sigourney Weaver and Charlize Theron last year. Pulling all-nighters<\/strong> is common during that time of the year, and we often run into uncontrollable factors or unexpected accidents. Once, while packing up after the Golden Globes Awards, we got a call saying that Ren\u00e9e Zellweger needed to be measured for a Dior vintage dress. Ultimately, I had to reschedule my flight and spend an extra day. Since the Golden Globes takes place during the same time as the haute couture show preparations, I have to head straight back to the atelier as soon as the ceremony ends. Because of the time crunch, I get some shut-eye on the flight and get ready for the show as soon as I land. The extreme amount of stress during that time of the year is also what makes it so memorable and worthwhile. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:800px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/3fd02df7-57eb-4a18-abd4-7acb8aa5d06a.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s every fashion student\u2019s dream to work with world-famous celebrities and make the dresses they are going to wear. Are there any challenging aspects to this work?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <strong>The stunning gowns worn by celebrities at award shows always inspire an other-worldly sense of pride and admiration because the actresses pull them off greatly.<\/strong> But everyone is different in their job style and personality, and I intentionally get an unwanted glimpse into their personal lives because we need to meet them on multiple occasions for alterations. That calls for extreme tact. <strong>Finding that middle ground between respecting their tastes and keeping the house\u2019s unique design can often lead to complicated situations.<\/strong> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:800px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/299bdf8c-73df-429f-80e1-830d4502bc4f.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>You studied the French language before working in the fashion industry, and you\u2019ve also worked as a backup dancer for DJ DOC and PSY.

Interestingly enough though, dancers also require a creative sense, along with teamwork and perseverance, so there are many similarities between what a mod\u00e9liste does and a dancer does. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>Your career took a wide turn, to say the least. Any words of advice for those having a difficult time making a choice in front of the path not taken? <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> As many say, <strong>better late than never.<\/strong> And to be honest, I think It\u2019s never too late to push oneself to pursue what you truly wish to pursue. But, as with anything else, it takes time and persistence to reach any milestone. Just stick with it, work hard, and you\u2019ll eventually get there. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>You own a wine bar in Seoul, named Comme Chez Toi, and you also have a YouTube channel titled \u2018Sewabang\u2019, in addition to a restaurant in Paris called \u2018Bistro Dam\u2019. What were the motivations behind opening these restaurants?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> Since I enjoy and study wine, I opened a wine bar in Korea named Comme Chez Toi with my mom. The idea for &#8220;Bistro Dam&#8221; came from Kim Chi-heon, CEO of Hanwadam, a longtime friend of mine. My heart leaped with joy when he suggested that we pair some delicious Korean dishes with wine and introduce them to Parisians. I also feel that my grandma strongly influenced this decision, as my childhood was filled with fond memories of helping her sew garments in her boutique and eating meals she prepared with the vegetables she raised. There weren&#8217;t many places to eat chicken in Namhae where she lived. I still remember vividly how she and I brainstormed ways to make seasoned chicken because we wanted to eat it so badly. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:800px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/5b342aa0-51f8-46a2-ae0e-2d66dda518fa.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt q_txt\">\n<p>Q.<\/p>\n<p>You work quite a few jobs.
