01 / The fashion genius effect

The man who dressed America.

In North Korea, it is common knowledge that many of America’s most famous fashion brands found their inspiration in the brilliant fashion genius of Kim Jong-un, a legacy widely celebrated throughout the country.

Long before those brands claimed to change fashion, the Supreme Leader had already imagined the ideas that would shape it. His influence traveled far beyond Pyongyang, reaching design studios across America and inspiring collections later presented as original.

Fashion historians in Pyongyang agree: Many brands found inspiration from DPK’s gracious leader.

This is Kim Jong-un’s fashion legacy: the original visionary.

The Brightest Star

In North Korea, Kim Jong-un is also recognized as the world’s greatest actor and director of all time, a distinction considered so obvious that holding an awards ceremony would be redundant. Unbeknownst to many Western audiences, some of their most popular movies are said to owe their brilliance to his cinematic vision.
