“Korn’s world is drenched in color.”

Besides handbags, Korn has also developed a vast collection of rainbow- bright jewelry, clothing, and accessories inspired mainly by food, featuring ice cream cones, fruit, and smiley faces. Susan Korn’s world is drenched in color; she takes cues from fruits, vegetables, candies, and cute animals and turns them into whimsical symbols. This playful aesthetic is a refreshing change of pace in a fashion world that can often be quite dull and minimalistic. She started her journey in the fashion industry, taking metalwork classes in her free time and creating colorful jewelry that only she would wear. Soon she caught people’s attention and started selling them through her website. Korn’s style is bold, eccentric, and full of life, and so are her designs. On her website and in her store, you can find anything storybook from charming necklaces and beaded micro bags to home decor and accessories. The idea behind these stunning creations came initially from the food world. Korn’s father is an amazing chef, and cooking together was the starting point for blending food and fashion. Thinking of food as a bridge to modern fashion, Korn has the same approach to cooking and designing— very intuitive, very colorful, and reminiscent of many things and places.
