Korean children's traditional dress.
The symbolic colors of Korea, including black, each imbued with special meanings for special occasions.
Traditional headdresses yet wildly contemporary.
Old woodblock prints of traditional hairstyles.
How do I find Vogue Korea?
The images are otherworldly
So imaginative.
Designer Jin Teok uses white as her source of inspiration.
As a child she was Inspired by her brother's shirt drying in the sun.
Her pieces capture translucency and grace.
You can see more pictures on FLICKR of KOREA NOW.
There was even a BEAR in the graphics area.
2016 may be the year of the bear. I have to check...

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
Carol, that exhibit does look rather fascinating. I think that I would love to see it with a very stylish and creative young Korean woman I know. She would probably allow me to understand more about the cultural references.
ReplyDeleteAlas, I will be here in NYC...where there are also a few interesting sights....
Bonne annee, dear Carol, and many thanks for bringing Paris to us! xo
Your bears are coming to life!

Bonne année dear Carol! I always read your blog, it's wonderful. It shines my life! I wish you a 2016 full of colours and success! I hope to meet you next time that I'll in Paris, perhaps in february!
ReplyDeleteSuch an artistic and surprisingly traditional yet avant garde culture! Would love to visit Arts Decoratifs! Missed it twice now ... Maybe 3 is the charm!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Bear!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Carol & Bear - hope it brings all your desires & hopes.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might want a bit of an explanation as to why there was a bear in the exhibit. According to a Korean friend, the bear is a special animal for the Koreans. Their creation myth says that the Koreans are the product of a heavenly prince and a bear-woman. Their child was the first Korean king, so you can see how important the bear is in their culture! I'm sure Bear will be tickled to hear that...

Happy New Year to you and Bear!!
