Make Break Remix: The Rise of K-Style

It may have come to prominence in recent years, but the energetic creative scene in Korea has been bubbling away for far longer. Make Break Remix offers a peek into this culture, based around a series of conversations with prominent creators in music, fashion, design, art and food, punctuated by documentarystyle photo essays showing creatives at work and at play as well as the environments that have shaped them. Conversations with commentators follow, with the book rounded out by some short essays on independent fashion labels.

As Monocle’s editor-in-chief Andrew Tuck writes, ‘there’s a commitment to inventiveness that endlessly intrigues’, and the book’s treatments, while brief, are testament to this and an excellent taster.
