CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Museum of Art has a new exhibit featuring Korean fashion that looks at how today’s Korean designers are paying homage to the past. The first half of the show features pieces from the late 17th century that have never been seen in the United States before.
The exhibit -- Korean Couture: Generations of Revolution -- is open now through Oct. 13.
“Korean Couture: Generations of Revolution is a compelling story about the history and transformative legacy of Korean fashion,” according to the Cleveland Museum of Art's site.
It features approximately 30 pieces “ranging from excavated 17th-century aristocratic garments to contemporary Korean couture by leading and emerging designers.”
“Through juxtaposing historical and contemporary ensembles, Korean Couture: Generations of Revolution recounts the definition of ‘couture’ from an inclusive perspective, amplifying how tradition has empowered contemporary Korean fashion designers to invent a new artistic language,” according to the Cleveland Museum of Art.
