The article highlights the remarkable journey of Geum Ki-suk, a fashion designer who twenty years ago created a dress inspired by the beauty of celadon pottery. Unveiled during the first Gwangju Biennale in 1995, this dress, named the 'Jinsa Yeonhwa Celadon Dress', employs hanbok fabric crafted into the slender shape of a celadon vase, adorned with artistic lotus patterns. This creation marked a significant moment in Korean fashion, elevating clothing from mere wearables to a level of artistic expression, setting a precedent in fashion art within Korea.

Currently, the 'celadon dress' and 55 other works by Geum Ki-suk are exhibited at the Seoul Craft Museum, representing her innovative spirit that challenged conventional notions of clothing being solely intended for wearing. The exhibition is a tribute to her illustrious 40-year career, which began after her exposure to the 'Art to Wear' movement in the 1960s and a subsequent pivotal art exhibition at the American Cultural Center in Korea in 1985. Through her work, Geum Ki-suk has made a lasting impact on fashion and art, as evidenced by her designs' acclaim during international platforms, including the significant attention garnered during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

The exhibition space is designed to reflect Geum's creative journey, divided into sections representing dreaming, dancing, and enlightenment. This thoughtful layout invites visitors to engage with her artistic process, showcasing her evolution as an artist who has pushed the boundaries of fashion art, transforming clothing into a medium of expressive and conceptual significance. By doing so, the exhibition not only honors her past but also paves the way for future generations of designers in Korea and beyond to explore the intersection of fashion and art.
