CARNET-ARCHIVE, a South Korean fashion brand founded by designers Halyn Kim, blends bold designs at the intersection of fine art and fashion. The brand’s name, inspired by "a collection of notebooks," reflects its commitment to creative exploration. From her studying at London College of Fashion, she channels her diverse influences including architecture, sculpture, and city, into a distinctive vision that blurs the boundaries between creation and destruction.

The creative direction of the brand revolves around the conceptual framework of 'Shell and Inside,' inspired by the contrasting yet complementary elements observed in natural shells and architectural deconstruction.

CARNET-ARCHIVE's experimental collections redefine luxury by seamlessly weaving together controversial themes and concepts. Positioned between tailored streetwear and dystopian grunge, the brand presents a reimagined form of luxury that resonates with the conflicting yet harmonious ideas of 'Shell and Inside.
