Young Kim grew up in Long Island, New York, before studying history
at Yale University. After teaching English for one year in the
former East Germany, she then completed the first year of law
school at N.Y.U. before abandoning it in favor of her passion for
the creative world. This led her to Paris to study fashion.
During her second year in Paris, she met Malcolm McLaren and
immediately commenced a romantic relationship. After a stint in the
fashion world, including as an editor of V Magazine/ Visionaire,
she started working exclusively with McLaren in 2000 as his
producer and creative partner on projects in art, fashion, music,
film, theatre, advertising, and media, until his death in 2010. As
the sole executor and heir of the Estate of Malcolm McLaren, she
continues to work in the same worlds as well as writing. She has
published pieces in Vogue US, Holiday, Drugstore Culture and GQ UK.
She lives between Paris and New York.
