This work started from the luxury goods consumption pattern that is uniquely observed in South Korea.

This work started from the luxury goods consumption pattern that is uniquely observed in South Korea, and the ‘Chanel open run’ phenomenon that captures this reality. I portrayed the South Koreans’ preference towards luxury goods through textile design by combining the narcissistic animal ‘pheasant’, the traditional painting ‘Painting of Flowers and Birds (Hwajodo)’ and design elements of Chanel. The home category products were produced by drawing motifs in digital drawing, and using digital printing on a silk fabric. My intention was to reinterpret traditional Korean motifs with a modern touch.

한국 사회에서 유독 두드러지는 명품 소비현상, 그리고 이를 단편적으로 드러내는 '샤넬 오픈런' 현상에서 출발한 작업이다. 자아도취의 동물 '꿩', 전통 회화 '화조도', 샤넬의 디자인적 요소를 더해, 한국 사회의 명품 선호 현상을 텍스타일 디자인으로 풀어보았다. 디지털 드로잉으로 모티프들을 그리고 실크 원단에 디지털 프린팅 하여 리빙 제품군을 제작하였다. 한국 전통적 모티프들을 현대적 느낌으로 재해석하고자 하였다.

这个作业品以在韩国社会尤为突出的奢侈品消费现象，以及这种现象的一个缩影--“Chanel open run”现象为出发点完成的。用自我陶醉的动物“雉”、传统画“花鸟图”，加之香奈儿的设计元素，以织品设计解读了韩国社会钟爱得奢侈品现象。用数码绘画方式绘制了主题，在丝绸面料上雕刻数码印花后制作了生活用品群。意在以现代的方式重新诠释韩国传统的主题。
