This exhibition shows how Korean fashion has changed a lot in the last 125 years, from the late Joseon dynasty to today's haute couture and cutting-edge street style. Since South Korea has become a pop culture powerhouse and one of the most fashionable countries in the world in the 21st century. This exhibition shows fresh-off-the-runway outfits that show how modern designers like Lie Sang Bong are mixing the old and the new, the local and the global, and high and low culture to create a unique and interesting Korean voice.
