Title | Lenticular Dress
FCA International Fashion Art Biennale in Seoul
with KIA (2018, Korea)
Employing a dynamic impression of lenticular fabric sheets, this work aims to explore the multiple variableness of colors and textile motifs in a mini-dress with the theme of plankton, the organic creatures in the ocean. The main focus in design methodology was to create a new module-based textile design with iridescent color changes.
Material: lenticular fabric sheets, PVC
Technique: 3D lenticular printing, Digital textile printing

Title | Microbial Movement
The 28th International Costume Congress (2018, Taiwan)
Beginning with the concept of the moving impression of microscopic plankton, this work aims to explore a variety of potentials for modular textile design by developing a jacket. The main focus in design methodology was to create a module-based textile design with moving imagery with plankton motifs. The microscopic modules with clear fluorescent pink PVC were joined together to be a jacket, representing the school of microscopic planktons.
Material: PVC
Technique: Digital textile printing

Title | Node
FROM WHERE: Fashion Art International Exhibition (2008, China)
Inspired by the interconnected networks of contemporary society, Node interprets human passion through a system of linked modular elements. Red LEDs glow through black tulle beneath armor-like enamel leather pieces, while crystal connections function as visual “nodes” within the structure.
Material: Leather, Tulle, Crystal, LED
Technique: Origami

Title | An Armor-clad Warrior
International Fashion Art Biennale in Seoul (2010, Korea)
The scar from conflicts in the war is imprinted in individuals’ memories and it is again integrated into the circle of history. This work expresses a paradox of the magnificent aggression and the desire for human’s symbiosis through the image of an armor-clad warrior out of a knotting technique, molding antique-gold geometrical modules.
Material: Leather, feather, metal
Technique: Origami
Exhibit| 07
Title | A Saddle Dress
Fashion Art Exhibition- Air from Korea (2010, Mongolia)
Inspired by geometric knotting and Mongolian visual references, this work develops an armor-like dress structured around two wide saddle-inspired belts. Leather, feathers, and metal combine to create a silhouette that balances strength with elegance.
Material: Leather, feather, metal

Title | MCM Flower Modules
KSFD MCM invited fashion exhibition (2019, Korea)
By integrating a laser-cutting technique into an MCM brand logo and modular origami, this work does not only suggest a new textile design but also it's potential to apply to a variety of garment designs and accessory designs.
Material: PVC
Technique: Origami, Laser-cutting

Title | LED Tops
International Fashion Art Exhibition 2010, (Beijing, China)
This work explores LED lighting and reflective materials as functional and expressive elements in apparel. Red and blue holographic polycarbonate modules are assembled around integrated LED lighting to create two sculptural tops with iridescent, armor-like surfaces. The designs investigate the potential of illuminated apparel for both visibility and dramatic fashion expression.
Material: Hologram plastic sheets (Polycarbonate), Silicon glue, LED

Title | Flight
ITAA Faculty / Professional Mounted Design Exhibit (2009, USA)
This work explores geometric origami construction as a method for generating new apparel silhouettes. Rectangular modules are transformed into a sculptural evening dress whose holographic polycarbonate surfaces, off-white palette, optical fibers, and LED lighting evoke the movement and flight of a bird. The repeated modules create a complex yet systematic visual structure.
Material: Hologram plastic sheets(Polycarbonate), Silicon glue, Optical fibers, LED lighting

Title | Figures in the Night
Fashion Art Exhibition "Air From Korea "(2009, Brazil)
Figures in the Night transforms two-dimensional imagery into a three-dimensional fashion form through layering and transparency. Inspired by Joan Miró’s Figures in the Night, the work uses digital textile printing on organza to emphasize contrasts of black and red. Rectangular printed panels are layered with transparent fabrics in alternating directions, transforming the painterly image into a sculptural fashion piece.
Material: Polyester
Technique: Digital Textile Printing
