Origin

The visual artist, InJung Oh, found Volossom while she was a student at the The School of the Art Institute of Chicago back in 2004. Oh had a vision of her wearing a HanBok, a traditional Korean dress. Oh appeared as a Giant Red Flower floating in the sky and was filled with a powerful energy to chart her own path. Based on this vision, Oh has created and coined the word Volossom meaning a Manifestation of Wish or Will. Volossom story develops into a multifaceted art space from its iconic image of opening up body & shape; a leg as stamen and upside down skirt as pedal.
