Book 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.

Book Description
A riveting debut novel set in contemporary Seoul, Korea, about four young women making their way in a world defined by impossible standards of beauty, after-hours room salons catering to wealthy men, ruthless social hierarchies, and K-pop mania “Powerful and provocative . . . a novel about female strength, spirit, resilience—and the solace that friendship can sometimes provide.”—The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • Esquire • Bustle • BBC • New York Post • InStyle Kyuri is an achingly beautiful woman with a hard-won job at a Seoul “room salon,” an exclusive underground bar where she entertains businessmen while they drink. Though she prides herself on her cold, clear-eyed approach to life, an impulsive mistake threatens her livelihood. Kyuri’s roommate, Miho, is a talented artist who grew up in an orphanage but won a scholarship to study art in New York. Returning to Korea after college, she finds herself in a precarious relationship with the heir to one of the country’s biggest conglomerates. Down the hall in their building lives Ara, a hairstylist whose two preoccupations sustain her: an obsession with a boy-band pop star, and a best friend who is saving up for the extreme plastic surgery that she hopes will change her life. And Wonna, one floor below, is a newlywed trying to have a baby that she and her husband have no idea how they can afford to raise in Korea’s brutal economy. Together, their stories tell a gripping tale at once unfamiliar and unmistakably universal, in which their tentative friendships may turn out to be the thing that ultimately saves them.

Book Description
If you are even mildly curious about the fashion industry and its inner workings, then you’ve heard of the concept of “fashion capitals”. You’ve probably heard that there are four of them: New York, London, Milan, and Paris. These cities are supposedly the ultimate authority of everything fashion-related. But isn’t it unreasonable to consider, on a planet of almost 8 billion people, that only four large cities hold the keys to an entire industry in which everyone has to take part at some level? Yes, it is. This is part of the underpinning of what inspired Manic Metallic to create an entire series on what we call “alternative fashion capitals”. We define alternative fashion capitals as “any major city across the world with an infrastructure that actively supports those in the fashion industry”; we included twenty cities that we believe have strong foundations for those wishing to enter fashion. We count the following as necessary components that make up a fashion infrastructure: Shopping Districts: Neighborhoods and/or major streets that house a critical mass of entities such as boutiques, concept stores, fashion ateliers, etc. Specific Places To Shop: Boutiques, concept stores, malls, and outdoor markets housed within a given alternative fashion capital that are both unique and relevant to that specific city Brands: Fashion designers and/or brands that exist within a given alternative fashion capital and specifically contribute to the betterment of that city’s fashion scene Events: Gatherings such as fashion weeks, festivals, and other similar events that operate specifically for the advancement of that city’s fashion industry Fashion Organizations: Organizations existing in a city that operate with the goal of furthering the development and advancement of that city’s fashion industry Fashion Publications: Media publications - primarily magazines, but not necessarily - that exist inside of an alternative fashion capital and have the purpose of disseminating fashion ideas, news, editorials, etc. Universities and Colleges: Institutions of higher learning that grant fashion-related degrees to students interested in fashion industry careers. Inside each of the twenty chapters - with one dedicated to each of the twenty alternative fashion capitals - we outline the offerings that these cities have within each of the aforementioned sections, while leading each chapter off with a brief comment on what the fashion capital is known for within the scope of the industry.

Book Description
Korean handicrafts are often overshadowed by those of China and Japan, preventing them from being recognized for their unique charm and cultural value. Frustrated with this widespread ignorance of Korean crafts, two American authors set out to write 100 Thimbles in a Box: The Spirit and Beauty of Korean Handicrafts, hoping that an English-language book on the topic would help bring some deserving global attention to Korea s strong crafting history. The book s title draws from a tradition dating back to the Joseon Dynasty in which a bride would present handmade thimbles to her husband s female relatives to wish them good fortune and a long life. The stunning beauty of 44 of Korea s traditional crafts sorted into ceramics, fiber arts, paper, inlay, metal, wood, and painting is presented in detail with over 400 pictures found in the book. While other publications have focused on one or two of these handicraft categories, this is the first English-language guide that brings these diverse genres together in a single volume.
