Ssammai
Ssammai are a set of stage wear based on gonryongpo, traditional Korean king’s wear. It shines light on the uneasiness in combining tradition with current cultures and experiments with how much “tradition” can take.
The term ssammai is a Korean slang used to describe B-list, cheap and cheesy things. Ssammai is inspired by Korean punk and folk rock, paying homage to bands like the Yangbans. The project is comprised of three works: clothes, exhibition, and illustration.
