My digitalstory is about traditional Korean
clothing which is Hanbok. Long ago ourancestors wore them in their
everyday life. Nowadays we wear them for specialoccasions, such as
Korean’s New-year, Korean Thanksgiving day and a child’s 1stbirthday, also Weddings and funerals.
60 years agoin Korea there weren’t many sewing machines to make their clothes. Most peopleonly used needle and thread to make clothes. Even the fabric was weaved by aloom. Imagine, how hard it was to make clothes.
Women’sHanbok is basically formed with Jeogori and Chima. The Jeogori is worn for atop and the Chima is a skirt. The feature of Jeogori is it only covers arms andthe breast part. The Jeogori’s sleeves are long and wide. Both men and womenwear Jeogori but a man’s body is covered longer than a woman’s down to the hipline. The Chima is made wide. Under theChima they wear an underskirt like a petticoat, also under the underskirt, theywear pants as well, because it stands for purity and innocence.
Compared to awoman’s Hanbok, man, simply were pants which we call Baggy. There was sexism in Korea long ago. There was discrimination against socialorigin as well. Peers wore luxurious and gracious colors and commoners werewhite, except special occasions. Today,everybody wears peer style, because there is no gap between peer and commoner.
Why did I choose thistopic, Hanbok? Because I am always interested in all kind of fashion, and I thought I should learn more about our Korean traditional dress Hanbok, so I can introduce you to our Koreantraditional dress Hanbok.
The other reason isthat r ecently, manyforeigners have become interested in Hanbok, because some famous Korean dramasuch as a Dae-jang-geum was a big hit in many countries. It was even on NewZealand triangle channel as well. Also Modern Hanbok fashion designerspresented a big fashion show in Paris and New York. Even some celebrities woreHanbok.
Therefore I am very proud of our traditional Korean dress Hanbok.
