한국 복식의 역사 Dress History of Korea

Critical Perspectives on Primary Sources

edited by Kyunghee Pyun (Anthology Editor), Minjee Kim (Anthology Editor)

 

Description

Bringing together a wealth of primary sources and with contributions from leading experts, Dress History of Korea presents the most recent approaches to the interpretation of dress and fashion of Korea. Through close analysis of visual, written, and material sources-some newly excavated or recently re-discovered in global museums-the book reveals how dress and adornment evolved from the period of state formation to the modern era.

 

Authors with a range of academic and curatorial experience discuss the close relation of dress and adornments to the socio-political and cultural history of Korea and place the dress history of Korea within broader contexts in studies of fashion, material culture, museology, and costume design. As in other cultures, modern Korean fashion owes many of its styles to historic dress and this process of adaptation is explored within high fashion and popular culture contexts in ways that benefit historians, curators, and designers alike. With key materials newly available to global readers, Dress History of Korea is the indispensable guide to the study of Korean dress and fashion.

Review

 

“Fashion history has been a Eurocentric field for much too long. Dress History of Korea makes an important contribution to the global and interdisciplinary study of dress and fashion. By emphasizing primary sources and case studies, it provides an essential scholarly foundation for future work.” ―Valerie Steele, The Museum at FIT, New York, USA

 

“Marilyn DeLong's Foreword, plus case study instances, provide examples from early sources through the 21st century that thoroughly document Korean dress. This deep research furnishes scholars and students with more comprehension of and appreciation for Asian dress.” ―Joanne Eicher, University of Minnesota, USA
