“There are so many beautiful things about Korea that I want people to look at and reflect on”

On a hot September evening in 2017 at Stockholm Fashion Week, Sweden’s stylish set was packed into a stifling venue for the closing party where a then-emerging South Korean DJ named Peggy Gou was spinning in a tiny side room. Only 25 years old, in the early days of her career, she was still lugging trunks of CDs around to her club dates—more comfortable with the antiquated medium than the USB flash drives used by her peers—while finding her footing in the techno and house scene. On the main stage, Virgil Abloh, Off-White’s founder and now Louis Vuitton’s menswear artistic director, shared the spotlight with multi-platinum artist Kelis. No one, she was convinced, was going to turn up to listen to her. But one person did, and it was Abloh himself.
