ommemorating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and South Korea, South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism hosted the Hanbok Wave fashion show, showcasing the country's hanbok (traditional attire) in both historical and modern variations.
Organized by the South Korean Craft and Design Foundation, the show was held on Sept. 8 at the K-Brand Foreign Promotion Center (KOREA 360) in Lotte Avenue Jakarta.
The Jakarta edition of Hanbok Wave took the theme of "Ancient Future", presenting 600 years of hanbok transformation history.
The fashion show introduced the changing styles of women's clothing from the Koryo Dynasty and the transformation of jogori (blouses) from the Chosun Dynasty to the modern era, along with wedding attire and outerwear from the late Joseon Dynasty.
In addition, modern hanbok designs with contemporary sensibilities showcased reinterpretation of tradition.
The Hanbok Wave project featured 12 hanbok fashion collections designed and developed by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from South Korea, with nine hanbok companies participating, including Giroe, Live Damyeon, Lisle, Morinori, Chai Kim, Hapli, Hanbok Studio Hyeon, Hyemi by Saimdang and Hyeyum Hanbok.
