Hanbok & Korean Fashion Show

Hanbok is the ubiquitous Korean traditional clothing. You have probably seen this type of dress in historical Korean dramas. Koreans wear Hanbok during special  occasions such as weddings and holidays.

A Hanbok is a two- piece outfit.  Women wear a jeogori (jacket) and a chima (high waisted skirt called) paired with beoseon (white cotton socks) and traditional boat shoes. Men also wear a jeogori,  but it is worn with baji (trousers), durumagi (overcoat), and paired with a hat and belt.

Currently there have been new modern designs of Hanbok. These are easier to wear and wash, and some are even eco- friendly. There are even Korean fashion designers that specialize in high-end Hanbok designs.

Coming up is the Korean Traditional Dress Fashion Show, which is presented by the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in San Francisco.  KPOP-TV will be there to cover this event happening on November 8!  This fashion show is sure to be a unique and educational experience.
