New York Fashon Week Spring 2014: Backstage Beauty—JINsoon Nails by Jin Soon Choi for Tibi SS 2014 Runway Show
The inspiration behind Tibi’s Spring/Summer 2014 runway show was the “Traveler”. The Tibi woman embarked on a road trip journey, from Asia to Arizona. It was an adventure of environmental beauty mixed with the grittiness of getting to her end destination.
Jin Soon Choi created a nail design that expressed a visual language developed by American travelers who lived a nomadic life in the 1920s. These signs were used to help fellow travelers navigate; the vertical/horizontal lines on the nails were an extraction from the traveler symbol “all right.”
