With today’s global cultural eye landing frequently on South Korea, the traditional hanbok dress (as seen worldwide in popular TV costume dramas) is no longer the only clothing reference one may associate with the country and its culture.

Delve into how contemporary designers contextualize their experience through their creative lens and how the world of Korean fashion extends beyond clothing.
