Seoul Fashion Center Has High Hopes희망 for Korean Fashion

Korea Times 06-22-2007 

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia

When people talk about Asian designers in the fashion world, Japan's names like Issey Miyake, Takada Kenzo and Yohji Yamamoto or Americans of Chinese descent like Vera Wang and Anna Sui are always mentioned
진술한.

Unfortunately, no Korean designer has achieved
이루다 those fashion designers’ level of success and international국제 recognition인정받다. Not yet아직.

Hahn Seong-hee, Seoul Fashion Center (SFC) director-general
기관장, said it is time Korean designers get recognition on the international fashion scene. He said Korean designs are in tune with global 공 모양의 style, but with unique유일한 and distinctive특유의 qualities that make it special특수한.

``Korean designs, I think, have global
공 모양의 style. The designers come up with high quality designs that I think everyone will like," he said.

Korean designers like Lie Sang-bong and Cho Sung-kyong are slowly getting famous
유명한in Paris, while Korean-American designers Doori Chung and Richard Chai are also getting a lot of attention in New York.

However, Hahn admits there is still a lot to be done to push Korean designers to the forefront
선봉에of global fashion.   SFC, an agency under the Seoul City government, is helping Korean designers develop internationally known brands through overseas marketing마케팅and promotion광고, as well as financial금융상의support돕다.

In the past, the Korean fashion industry
산업; 제조업mostly consisted of manufacturing, but due to competition경쟁with China, it is now changing
바꾸다to become a high value industry.  According to the SFC, Korea is already ranked 8th or 9th in the world, in terms of creativity창조적인, design, quality상류의 and marketing시장에서의 매매 of fashion. To provide an opportunity for designers to showcase their work, the Seoul Collection is held twice a year. It consists of fashion shows featuring autumn/winter and spring/summer collections of top Korean designers.

The SFC is also trying to boost
밀어 올리다Korean fashion by capitalizing on the popularity of Korean stars through the Hallyu Stars Fashion Festival.

Hahn said the event helped the mutually
서로의 beneficial유익한 relationship관계 between designers and stars, and hopes the star power of Korean stars would help Korean designers to become recognized around Asia.

However, he believes the Korean fashion industry should also work with China and Japan to create
창조하다an Asian style that can compete경쟁하다with European or American designs.

``We're also thinking of getting some Chinese or Japanese stars to wear Korean designed clothes. Or maybe the Chinese and Japanese designers could come here and Korean stars could wear their designs - the three countries should work together to make Asian fashion style known around the world,'' he said.
