Korean designer Emily Seul Ki Uhm has created a series of stunning designs for her spring/summer 2013 graduate collection. Completing her Masters from [London College of Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Este-Lauder-Companies-Announced), the line has been appropriately titled 'Visual Illusion Through Textile.' She uses a geometric motif of stripes and dots to create clothing with a [futuristic edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set).

A clean, contemporary and clever collection, Emily Seul Ki Uhm brings focus to different areas of the body through these geometric applications as well as a bright colorblocked palette. In spite of the shapely patterns and bright hues, the Visual Illusion Through Textile collection has an overall [minimalist look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit). The linear silhouettes makes each model look like a sci-fi scientist of some sort.
