South Korea Fashion

South Korean fashion has advanced recently as a result of influences from Western riches, culture, and social media usage as well as the nation’s growing economy.

In spite of these influences, South Korean fashion has stayed true to its own distinctive look, which has affected global trends. In contrast to its northern cousin, North Korea, South Korea’s fashion is noted for being expressive and showing a feeling of individualism.

The Korean Wave, or the dissemination of enthusiasm for South Korean culture, may also have an impact on the fashion industry. For instance, it’s been suggested that certain Korean pop artists have recently appeared in major cities like New York, where they may be observed adopting trends and fashions from other countries. Journalist and novelist Euny Hong believes that this fashion trend will soon become a global phenomenon.

As the Korean Wave spread throughout several nations, including Japan and Indonesia [45], the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Oceania, it is assumed that Korean-pop fashion had an international and national influence on fashion. Many facets of Korean culture, including K-pop, the country’s popular music, heavily incorporate fashion. The fact that many musicians dress in expensive clothing both on and off stage has been perceived as a means for them to collaborate or advertise with leading fashion labels.

The popular girl group Blackpink’s Lisa and Rose were profiled in the September issue of Dazed Korea. They put their outfit together using components from Mulberry’s 2018 Fall/Winter collection. They also had front-row seats at this year’s Mulberry Show in Seoul. Johnny Coca, the creative director of the well-known British fashion label, set out to not only establish Mulberry as a household name in the UK but also to get awareness abroad in nations like South Korea. In a Vogue article, Coca claims that because Korea was the second-largest market in terms of revenue, it was crucial to take part in this expansion and to educate Korean consumers about the brand and its history.
