Po Men

As borders between cultures become thinner, putting effort into establishing what is ours and what is not has gained importance. While a united definition for heritage is not achievable, having a personal definition for what is considered heritage is important to an individual’s identity. PoMen is my definition of what heritage and tradition is.
PoMen is a male hanbok collection for the F/W seasons. It is aims to promote everyday wear of hanbok by incorporating western pants along with hanbok po’s. The collection shows off items not commonly found in other hanbok brands like shirts and cardigans. The designs were based off of 5 different po’s: durumagi, dapho, changyi, chullik, and dopo. An exaggerated black git(collar) was used throughout the collection to bring it together.
