TRAVEL DIARY: Marc Goehring and Nunguja Kisalya Launch Birkenstock x 032c in South Korea
For the official launch of the Birkenstock x 032c collaboration clog, we sent our fashion director Marc Goehring and sales director Nunguja Kisalya (aka Gucci) to Galleria in Seoul. After some initial reservations from an already jet-lagged Goehring (see fifth image down), the team, both of whom star in the shoe’s accompanying campaign, began to take advantage of everything the South Korean capital had to offer. See the results in the travel diary below.
