My collection observes the Korean Hanbok in a new light as I explore the inextricable link between culture and identity. The collection captures the essence of re-imaging and redefining the traditional garment in a contemporary context as a way to create a new form of Hanbok and its experience.
The three looks are an experimentation of proportion and volume as a way to conceal the wearer's body frame and take on the silhouette of the garment, distorting the space around them. As I delve into my own story and experience as a key source of design inspiration, the collection encapsulates a new understanding of the Hanbok.
