"Jaeha's Edward-Scissorhand-inspired collection was full-on as they say here in NZ.
It was the strongest and most original set I've seen yet. If you took away all the
madeness what with hairnets, S&M boots and deadly hardware, the clothes were actually
very well constructed and feminine. Jaeha had great models too."

"Alex Kim, The designer of Jaeha, looks like such a fun-loving quirky kid,
that it's hard to imagine him creating such a sophisticated show.
He references one of my all-time favourite movies, Edward Scissorhands
(note the bladed glove in the first look), as one of his main inspirations,
along with the experiece of a "harsh break up and the rejection that
everyone feels." Pretty heavy stuff for such beautiful clothes."

"Alex Jaeha Kim was a student at Auckland's prestigious AUT when he received his first order from Blondies, the indomitable patron of the Melbourne fashion scene. Two year's later he's the fashion world's darling.
For his latest collection "Zip Me Up After You've Finished", 21 year old Kim draws inspiration from Tim Burton's heart-breaking '90s film classic Edward Scissorhand. With grunge-inspired knits, chunky layers, oversized silhouettes, intricately zippered trousers and soft latex scissorhand gloves, Jaeha’s collection is accessible yet highly emotive.
His eye for design earned him accolades as New Zealand's Breakthrough Designer of 2007.
Look out for Jaeha’s exclusive line of bags, handmade in New Zealand from the finest Scottish leather and sold exclusively at the L.A. boutique H. Lorenzo."
