Abstract

In Korean traditional costume with a long history of more than 2,000 years, Hanbok (Korean traditional dress) representative of Korean design has changed to meet the trend of contemporary society with various adjective of modified Hanbok, easy Hanbok, trendy Hanbok and fashionable Hanbok. And as we have gone through modernism, our social environment has changed, followed by changes in our life styles. The term of Hanbok began to be used since Yangbok, western costume, was introduced, which implies traces and history of our ancestors. As the world has modernized with similar styles, Korean costume which is considered as having distinctive life and history, is our precious cultural heritage. These days, the 'Korean Wave' that has expanded around East Asian countries such as Japan, China, Taiwan and Vietnam has prevailed in the U.S.A. and Europe, and Korean movies, dramas and animations have been exported to the world with high guaranteed fees. Korean alphabets, style, houses, paper, and music that are representative of Korean culture and symbolize it based on industrialization and globalization can create more employment and added value through strategic supports for branding of traditional culture. They expand interests in our traditional culture and Korean Wave consistently, which will contribute to realization of the most powerful culture-based country. Korean designers who have advanced New York and Paris show Korean fashion in more familiar styles to the world people, and fashion works of Korean images by Lee Young-Hee, Seol Yun-Hyung and Jin Tae-Ok are welcomed by the world. In the middle of New York, which is a center of fashion, the ' Hanbok' museum is proudly located. On the 100th anniversary of 2005 Pret A Proter Paris, Hanbok fashion show and fashion fair were presented. And in 2005 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Busan, beautiful Hanbok and korean paper attracted the attention from the world people . At that time, Korean paper was shown to the world people in a distinctive style and all the viewers were excited to see Korean paper lamps, lightings and partitions with traditional patterns. In China, as a Korean drama titled Daehjanggeum was enthusiastically welcomed, an exhibition of Korean paper was held there, which was an opportunity for Korea to be widely known to the world. Korean paper (called Hanji), our peculiar paper, is natural and simple which is has distinctive aesthetic sense. The bast fiber of paper mulberry, its main material, is durable, light, soft, has good ventilating effect, and can be preserved for such a long time. It is also not harmful to human bodies, flattened easily though it is folded and indissoluble. So using these characteristics of Korean paper, we can develop distinctive and creative fashion materials. Therefore, this study designs and makes dress by using Korean paper with distinctive texture based on characteristics of Korean costume.
