Last week, I was invited at Preview in Daegu South KoreaTextile Show S/S 2013, thanks to a very fashionable Ms Rei Kim, Ceo and President of NexFair South Korea and my Filipina friend Sheila Delgado.
It was a great experience just immersing myself with beautiful works of fashion and design. I was really blown away with the traditional Korean outfits on the super duper high-tech Korean production runway---lights, sound, visual effects, performance. Of course, the exquisite textiles, cut, colors and techniques in construction.
I will post series of pictures here (sorry they are a bit blurry ) from my BlackBerry phone ( and my cousin Jenny Jutare's phone photos, too, who travelled with me as well). Videos I will upload, too , of course.
One thing I must say---because of very good Korean design schools and great clusters of production houses (Daegu is the textile city of Korea) --the designers' work are high quality-make and within very now marketable concepts of line planning.
From high tech textiles to traditional processing like organic dying ( which I learned there and bought tons of materials back home ), now our Korean and Filipino heads are working on a exciting collaboration for a future melding of ideas towards a show.
MORE TO COME SOON!
Contemporary interpretation of Korean traditional costumes. I just noticed the hemline is shorter but the basic silhouettes and embellishments remain the same exquisite form.
Korean women in their best! They are so elegant!

Nice work .....:)
