I embrace my Korean culture through fashion by exploring how modern trends can coexist with traditional values embedded in everyday Korean life. The hanbok, Korea’s traditional dress, serves as a central reference in my work—not only for its visual elegance, but for its symbolism of harmony, balance, and movement. I reinterpret elements such as flowing silhouettes, layered structures, and understated color palettes, translating them into contemporary forms that feel relevant within an American and broader global context. By integrating these traditional details into modern styling, I aim to create a visual dialogue that honors my heritage while expressing how Korean culture continues to evolve and exist within foreign societies.
