How She Wears it with Inii King
How She Wears It, Inii King
Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, King & Partners
Inii King is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of New York–based agency King & Partners, known for its distinctive, thoughtful approach to branding and creative direction. Raised in Seoul and based in New York, she brings a refined, global perspective to her work with leading lifestyle and hospitality brands, an approach that carries into her personal style.
We visited Inii at home to talk about what inspires her, how her creative philosophy shapes the way she gets dressed, and the Sherman Field pieces she wears most often. From layered gold chains to Tahitian pearls, her jewelry reflects a timeless sensibility that moves effortlessly through every part of her day.
Before founding King & Partners with her husband Tony in 2010, Inii worked in luxury fashion and digital. Over time, the fast pace of that world led her toward work that favors timelessness and longevity rather than constant reinvention, gradually shifting their work toward strategy and brand identity for brands and products with lasting value.
