Career
Park launched her debut collection, "The Girl in Full Bloom," under her label Miss Sohee in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no final year show to present the collection. Instead, Park released a series of photographs of her floral-style pieces online.[6][5]

Since her debut, her designs have appeared on the likes of several notable celebrities, including Miley Cyrus, Cardi B, Bella Hadid, Ariana Grande, Gemma Chan, Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid, Julia Fox, and Christina Aguilera.[3]
Sohee Park then made her fashion week debut in February 2022 at the Milan Fashion Week with the support of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana of Dolce & Gabbana. Later in 2022, Park's Peony gown from the "Girl in Full Bloom" collection was exhibited for the Hallyu! The Korean Wave Exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum.[4][7][8][9][10]
