Now, the fashion world is full of diversity

The pandemic of COVID-19 has dramatically changed our world over the past two years. The fashion industry has become more diverse and inclusive, and the industry has opened its doors wide to diverse people and more people of color. Most importantly, men and women of all ages are appearing in the fashion industry, regardless of body size or age.

New Zealand is one of the most diverse cultures in the world. Because of this, New Zealand fashion styles influence fashion based on various races, body shapes, skin colors and historical grounds, and focus more on having one’s own unique personality and style.

Three New Zealand Fashion Weeks have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions on New Zealand government regulations, and many people are thirsty for fashion and various cultural content events.

The first fashion club, “Ink Art,” hosted by fashion designer Cecilia Kang and New Zealand entertainer Alan Myers, was the first networking event in New Zealand where individuals can dress up and express their individuality, passion, and desire for clothing, including many New Zealand celebrities, film directors, fashion icons, models, and networking musicians.

Regardless of age, it is an event that anyone can enjoy if they have passion for fashion and love fashion. Fashion has great advantages of uniting and inspiring people.

Alan Myers, a New Zealand entertainer, is a ten-year beta auctioneer in New Zealand. Allen said, “I found that fashion is very important in combining and mixing my own styles. I also gained a lot of confidence in styling and completing the overall look. I usually wear vintage or military items and dress neatly according to the situation.” He said, “Dressing neatly and stylishly is polite and polite to the other person, and I want to inspire many people through his fashion philosophy.”

Tyasha Kumar is a 16-year-old New Zealand model. She said the word “fashion” contains not only trends but also various stories. Just as there is a story behind every picture or image, every design contains a variety of stories.”

Taisha Kumar said, “Diversity is more respected in the fashion industry and I think it’s a value now. The fashion industry recognizes diversity, and all races and religions are not discriminated against, and the passion for fashion has given me greater confidence than anything else. But sometimes I couldn’t accept enough diversity, and I had to keep it in frustration and silence when evaluating the standards of the fashion industry,” she said, adding that as a model, she has to join with many people to bring true diversity together.

Monique Bradley is a New Zealand guide-to-better living television presenter and producer. Monique said, “When I was young, my mother was a sewing teacher. So I had a lot of opportunities to see the fabric at home. My mother created a unique identity as ‘a work of art that we all are beautiful’ and gave me a great boost to be the right person. I thought it was more important than anything else to be confident in the way we share our identity with the world while discovering ourselves through fashion. For me, appearance and dress are energy-like things and I think I’m the best representative of who I am.” She also told herself that two days are never the same.

It is because it comes from the background of the New Zealand TV and film industry. Her fashion philosophy said she thought it was a real opportunity to show off her fashion on stage in a costume she chose, and said it was one of the important reasons for the diversity of fashion. The reason is that he can appeal his diversity to many people in many ways.

Monique Bradley said, “I firmly believe that in order to create a truly beautiful world, there must be space for many fashion artists.”

Henna Fang said, “The Fashion Club Ink Art Fashion Club Inc. ART event was great and fun. As a versatile violinist who mixes violin classical and modern big sound, I think it is important to create various styles and visual effects of stage costumes depending on the genre of music. So the diversity of fashion is always a part of me on the stage.”

Subidhi Ahuja is a New Zealand content creator and fashion influencer. She described fashion as an art. He said that the type of clothes he wears shows what kind of personality he is, and fashion diversity is very important.

Subidhi said, “Diversity is more important than anything else to understand the interdependence of human cultures and therefore to acknowledge each individual’s individuality and difference. I think it’s great that many brands and designers in the fashion world these days are very diverse and comprehensive, and we can access various models on the runway.”

She also said it was even more interesting that various designers featured plus-size models (over the standard size of gisaengsuits) and senior female models in shows and commercials. It is said that this is not just tolerance, but understanding and getting to know each other.

Finally, through this fashion gathering, we were able to encounter people from various backgrounds and classes, and as the fashion industry is becoming more diverse and inclusive, we felt it with our bodies.

I suddenly thought that our society, which is greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, could provide a space for many people to be interested in and participate in fashion through more corporate marketing or collaboration in the future.

I think it is also the future of fashion to reduce people’s distance with one word, feel the need to listen to people of various types, races, and genders, and create a place of positive culture and active communication together.

Underboop and short jeogori…Women’s Fashion Debate Beyond the Century

Will “Under Boop” be popular in Korea?
Jennie and Hyuna appear in Under Boob fashion
“Excessive exposure” vs. “Fashion freedom” controversy
Even in the Joseon Dynasty, “short jeogori” was popular and controversial.
Why is “Women’s Fashion” a big issue?

Underboob fashion, which reveals its bottom, is controversial as it shows signs of a trend. Excessive physical exposure of famous celebrities with great media influence was a problem, and a similar controversy occurred in the late Joseon Dynasty. At that time, among Joseon women, wearing a rich skirt and a tight jacket was popular, and the chest was exposed with a short jacket, which was criticized by the four masters. Experts diagnosed that there is a patriarchal view that does not view women as the subject of decision on the phenomenon in which women’s fashion is controversial.

◆ “Under Boop” is gaining popularity among Korean celebrities following overseas…”Excessive exposure” vs. “Interference with fashion criticism”

Korean women’s tops are getting shorter. Cropped top fashion that slightly revealed the waistline or belly was popular for a while, but now “underboop,” which even reveals the bottom line, is at the center of the trend.

Underboop fashion began in 2017 when foreign stars were introduced it. Previously, it was used for filming such as music videos and magazines, but recently, more and more people wear it as daily clothes. In Korea, the K-pop star group BLACKPINK Jenny and singer Hyun-ah have become the talk of the town with their underboop fashion, showing signs of becoming popular in Korea.

The problem is that the form of clothing that reveals the bottom line of the woman’s chest is quite sensational. In Korea, it was pointed out that excessive exposure is not appropriate as there is a strong tendency to imitate the fashion of famous celebrities. This is because teenagers with strong celebrity aspirations can imitate exposure fashion.

On the other hand, criticism has been raised that underboop fashion is a symbol of female identity and freedom, and fashion criticism can be excessive interference. Some argue that underboop fashion is part of the “Free the Nipple” movement. This is a movement that claims women’s right to take off their tops freely, and a fashion magazine interpreted underboop fashion in 2017 as an extension of “Free the Nipple.”

◆ A short jeogori similar to an underboop appeared even in the Joseon Dynasty…I can’t blame him for “yobok”

The controversy over women’s fashion also existed during the Joseon Dynasty. The hanbok, separated from the top and bottom, had a good body-recognizing clothing structure, and the length of the jeogori of Joseon women began to be noticeably shortened from the late 17th century to the 18th century, and narrowed down to the arms. By 1920, the length of the women’s jacket reached about 19 centimeters, smaller than that of an adult male.

This trend is related to the upheaval of society as a whole, such as the development of commerce and industry and art in the late 17th and 18th centuries of Joseon. As he pursued a new doubles beauty, the style of “Hahu Sang-bak” appeared. At that time, the trend of hahu Sang-bak fashion was led by gisaeng, which began to attract the attention of men of the four masters, but was also popular in the palace and the upper class. Hahu Sang-bak was chosen by Korean women because his style itself was attractive. Some view it as a means of expressing individuality in a male-centered society at the time when silence was forced.

The short jacket, which reveals the chest, was the target of criticism among the aristocrats. Yi Deok-mu (1741-1893), a scholar of practical affairs in the late Joseon Dynasty, called the short jacket “Yobok” with the meaning of magical. In his book Cheongjangjeonseo, he wrote, “Everything that is called a trend in Daejeo’s attire comes from the flattering appearance of the changgi, and the secular men are fascinated by the figure and do not realize the sensuality and recommend it to their wives to emulate it.”

Some people accepted the change in clothing as a fashion. Seongho Ik said in “Seongho editorial,” “As we are at the end of our lives, the wife’s clothes have narrow sleeves and short hem, like putting them on a ghost,” but added, “We can’t help it in the custom of Daedong.”

◆ ‘Controversial’ Women’s Fashion…Why?

Women’s attire has always been on the lips of the people and is a controversial figure. Experts analyzed that there are complex causes, such as the view that women are still viewed as objects of admonition, especially for the phenomenon in which controversy over women’s clothes is prominent.

Heo Min-sook, a female scholar, said, “In fact, even if it is less active and uncomfortable clothes, it is individual freedom to choose clothes,” adding, “The repeated debate on women’s clothes is because women are considered to be the subject of advice and admonition.” It is a patriarchal view that does not recognize women as subjects with complete decision-making power,” he pointed out. In our society, there are cases where women are interpreted as excessively sexual intention when they expose their bodies, he said. “The cultural context that has been evaluating women’s bodies for a long time has worked.”

Regarding the criticism that excessive physical exposure will have a bad effect on teenagers, he said, “What is really a threat to teenagers is sexual objectification through webtoons and games,” adding, “I wonder why they are only enthusiastic about fashion debates while not actively participating in improving sexual crimes.”

Fashion meets digital… Korea’s first “Meta Fashion” is coming out

Meta Fashion, which uses metaverse, a three-dimensional (3D) virtual space, to produce fashion that is difficult to implement in reality, will be released for the first time in Korea.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy held a meta-fashion production presentation at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 30th of last month and announced that it will release 30 meta-fashion works in November. Metafashion means that in reality, fashion products that are difficult to produce due to restrictions on the material and color of the fabric are created using digital technology.

According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, using meta-fashion, you can purchase digital clothing and actually wear clothes without going directly to stores with AR (a technology that adds virtual objects or environments to real objects or environments). It is also helpful for the environment because it does not make clothes indiscriminately using actual fabric. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said, “Meta Fashion is a representative ‘serviceization of manufacturing’ of textile fashion,” adding, “If you preoccupy the meta-fashion industry, you can enter advanced countries in fashion.”

The 30 meta-fashion works, which will be released in November, will be made in collaboration with three domestic designers. △A work that contains messages such as education, equality, and health under the theme of “Beautiful People and the World” △ A work that captures the dynamics of traditional folk paintings under the theme of “Meeting Folk Painting and Classic” △ A modern reinterpretation of past costumes will be released. Clover Virtual Fashion, which developed 3D virtual clothing production software, will be in charge of technical support, while KT Group will produce meta-fashion distribution platforms.

[One more] Meta-fashion industry is getting bigger

As the size of the metaverse increases, the meta-fashion industry is also expected to grow significantly. According to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, the meta-fashion market is expected to reach 55 billion dollars by 2030.

Meta-fashion is in the spotlight because MZ generation (a word that encompasses millennials (M) and Z-generation born in the early 1980s and early 2000s) see meta-fashion as an eco-friendly fashion and an “extended reality (XR) experience. XR is a concept that encompasses virtual reality (VR) and AR, and refers to an environment in which virtual reality and reality are closely connected. It’s also an extended reality to post pictures of people wearing meta-fashion products on social networking sites

“Wear 300 outfits” IU chooses dress fitting for Cannes → 2 sets

iu

IU was shown choosing a dress to wear at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival.

IU’s YouTube channel “Right now” says, “Welcome!”The video was posted under the title, “It’s your first time wearing a dress fitting, right?”

In the video, IU said, “I came to the stylist’s office today because she said she would film a dress fitting for the Cannes International Film Festival.” He then showed embarrassment, saying, “I’ve never filmed a fitting in my decades of activities.”

IU said, “I’m going to share with UAENA which dress is a candidate. It’s awkward because it’s my first time doing it, but I’ll show it to you.”

IU in her first dress then appeared, followed by cheers and applause from the staff. IU said, “There are many dresses to try on today, so it will be hard to clap like that every time. I’m going to wear about 300 clothes today,” he joked shyly.

The first dress was a shoulder-length black dress. IU explained, “Makeup will go in here, and you can wear accessories and tie your hair.” Also, “The dress seems a little heavy. It’s comfortable to wear,” he said.

The second dress was a shiny white dress. IU told the staff, “How is it? Give me your opinion,” and the staff continued to be silent. Then, IU said, “Hello,” and said, “Why aren’t you saying anything when there are so many people?” drawing laughter.

IU explained the shiny dress, saying, “If you wear this, you have to move a lot.” He also explained, “I tie my hair or dry it calmly,” adding, “Because when I go to Cannes, I do my hair as easy as possible because it’s not an atmosphere that the staff can touch.” The staff asked, “Please look back.” IU turned around and confirmed that it was a backless dress with a hollow back. IU said, “Oh, it’s a shirt with a hole in the back I didn’t know?”

IU, who later wore her third dress, said, “I think this is the prettiest I’ve ever worn.” The third dress was actually worn at the Cannes Film Festival. The caption explained that it was an elegant moss color dress, and IU said, “The color is so pretty. It depends on the direction. You can style it up, or you can put it down.” In the meantime, IU continued to show her third dress.

The fourth dress was a seductive purple long dress. IU said with a smile, “You’ll sweep all the dust in the very compartment.” The staff flapped dresses and played around, and IU said, “You’ll need a lot of confidence, but I think you can do it because you’ve never seen them before. I would be less embarrassed than in Korea,” he said.

The fifth dress was an elegant mermaid dress. IU said, “I’m tired now,” and “I’ve tried everything on.” “What is IU’s one pack out of the five dresses?”When asked, IU said, “My one pick is a moss-colored dress earlier,” and asked back, “What are the stylists like?”

The stylist also agreed with IU’s one pick, saying, “I’m also a moss-colored dress.”

IU said, “I have a pretty dress coming tomorrow, so I think I’ll try it on and choose between the moss color and that.” In fact, IU wore both dresses that she thought hard about at the 75th Cannes Film Festival. IU finished the video, saying, “Is IU’s decision on what dress to wear in Cannes?”
