On Monday, October 21st, 2024, SUNY Korea students celebrated National Hanbok Day through a special campaign, held by FIT students, in honor of Korean traditional attire. All students, staff, and faculty were able to join and celebrate this day. The event showed the cultural meaning of hanbok combined with its fusion into modern forms, merging the timelessness of this garment with the most recent fashion trends.
Established by the Korean government in 1996, Hanbok Day is dedicated to preserving Korea’s cultural heritage and strengthening generational connections. This year’s celebration at SUNY Korea went beyond the traditional wearing of hanbok, with students from the Fashion Design Department crafting innovative hanbok pieces that combined historical elements with modern practicality. Their designs aimed to reimagine hanbok as an everyday fashion staple while maintaining its deep cultural significance.
Through this celebration, SUNY Korea reinforced its commitment to promoting Korea’s cultural heritage while inspiring innovation in fashion. The event provided an important platform for future generations to appreciate the beauty of hanbok and contribute to its continued relevance in the fashion world.
