Once I was in highschool, seeing Huge Bang’s G-Dragon and T.O.P get arrested for hashish and shunned by the general public actually cemented the plant because the carnal sin.”
However issues modified as Lim moved to America and discovered extra about hashish and the approach to life and tradition that surrounds it. He continues, “Once I lastly had the braveness to inhale, I discovered that my opinions have been prejudiced by misinformation and that the truth is, it could possibly be a software for self-discovery and enlightenment — puns absolutely supposed.”
Alongside along with his workforce, Lim got here up with a printed zine, marketing campaign video and capsule vacation assortment which features a mesh lengthy sleeve, printed carpenter pants and woven blanket.

We studied every bible verse associated to the Backyard of Eden and re-purposed line by line how we wished our story to be informed,” assistant artistic director Caroline Park tells PAPER. “The ultimate product was a fragile balancing act of executing our wildest desires inside the boundaries of what was truly attainable in Korea.”
