Born in Gwangju in southwest Korea, Dohun Kim founded Andersson Bell in Seoul in 2014, building the brand around a Korean-Scandinavian duality — the surname Andersson nodding to Sweden, Bell evoking the Buddhist temple bells of his childhood. From a Hongdae studio he expanded the label from colourful knitwear into a full ready-to-wear offering, gaining global traction when BTS wore Andersson Bell sneakers at the Grammys. In 2023 he became one of the first Korean designers to join the official Milan Fashion Week calendar, anchoring a roster that now includes the main line, Andersson Bell Heritage and the Andersson Bell Studio capsule.
