HAUTE HUNTERS
HAUTE HUNTERS is a fashion-forward K-pop Demon Hunters Zine exploring Korean fashion from the past to the present through idol-glam and spotlight.
ABOUT
Presented as a curated fashion archive rather than a narrative-driven zine, HAUTE HUNTERS reimagines Huntrix and the Saja Boys through iconic silhouettes, styling, and aesthetics drawn from different eras of Korean fashion, unfolding across three chapters that trace the evolution of style from its roots to the modern spotlight.
1. Hunter’s BeginningsWe begin at the roots—early 1900s and earlier—drawing inspiration from historical Korean dress and traditional garments, honoring the enduring beauty and culture that continue to influence Korean fashion today.2. Dawn of K-popMoving into the 1980s–1990s, this chapter captures the rise of performance culture and early idol aesthetics as Korean pop culture begins to define itself on a larger stage.3. Golden AgeThe final chapter celebrates the present era, where high-glam styling, luxury influences, and modern spectacle define this section, placing Huntrix and the Saja Boys fully in the spotlight.
HAUTE HUNTERS is planned as a physical art book featuring illustrations that highlight a fashion-forward composition, styling Huntrix and/or the Saja Boys in era-inspired looks drawn from Korean fashion history, and includes written contributions from Korean artists, writers, and scholars in fashion and Korean history, offering cultural context and insight.Current production plans include an 8 × 10 inch, full-color book with glossy interior pages, a satin-finish cover with gold foil detailing, inner cover printing, perfect binding, and an estimated 72-page count.
