Yuna was featured in New York Magazine’s “Nine Designers to Watch This Fashion Week” and a cover story in WWD.Titled ‘My Black Wedding Dress’, the collection was inspired by Princess Grace Kelly and Betty Draper of television series Mad Men, who represent the transitional struggle between the traditional 1950s housewives and the modern career women of the 1970s.
