Fashion illustration, one of the expression areas of fashion design, is developing into a new genre of fashion in the fast-changing fashion industry, breaking away from the existing perception of fashion drawing (illustration). The artist’s activities to popularize the fashion design field and expand the range of expression through the development of convergent expression techniques of fashion illustration show the expansion of fashion artistry and the borderless development of the fashion industry.

K-Fashion is expressed in various areas. In this work, the artist expanded the artistic range of globalized K-Fashion and the experimental expression of ideas. In particular, we want to show how quickly Korean fashion is permeating into global fashion through ‘Saekdong’, a representative color and pattern of Korean traditional fashion. In addition, by designing a part of Hangeul, which is expressed in minimal ‘figure painting’, along with ‘Saekdong’, a traditional Korean stripe pattern, it shows the refined and minimalism of K-Fashion in Korean colors.

The artist used hand stitches and hand drawings expressed on Korean traditional fabrics with handcrafted analog techniques, that shows a convergence of expressions using digital programs together to emphasize formative characteristics. Through this, a new direction of fashion illustration expression was created and the scope of research related to fashion illustration was expanded. It will also be a special exhibition that expands the realm of K-Fashion design expression suitable for use in the global fashion industry.
