[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The Department of Clothing Industry at Gyeongnam National University announced on the 1st that it held an online fashion show titled ‘OVERDYE,’ showcasing the diverse personalities of its students.

As part of the ‘U_OK Shared Campus Program,’ a project under Gyeongnam National University’s University Innovation Support Project, this online fashion show featured 14 senior students from the Department of Clothing Industry. Using Gyeongnam National University’s iconic locations such as ‘Wolyeongji’ and ‘Daetgeori’ as runways, the students presented a variety of fashion works realized through their passion and creative thinking.

The fashion show, themed ‘OVERDYE,’ meaning ‘to color and dye with fashion,’ attracted attention by expressing various fashion concepts in the students’ unique styles. These included ‘COVID-19 protective clothing,’ a representative trend of the COVID-19 era, ▲the transformation of workwear ▲genderless styles transcending gender boundaries ▲a return to romantic sensibility ▲the dualism of restrained modernism ▲and the showtime of a clown.

As this fashion show also served as the Department of Clothing Industry’s graduation exhibition, participating students made efforts such as discussing their works online through real-time classes using the online platform ‘ZOOM’ and producing fashion pieces in their personal workspaces.

Jung Eun-hee, Director of the Community Contribution Center at Gyeongnam National University, said, “Fashion shows held on-site end as temporary impressions, but fashion shows produced as online videos can be shared more widely and enjoyed for a longer time.”

She added, “The online fashion show not only enhances major-related competencies but also holds the value of sharing cultural empathy beyond the campus with local residents. We will do our best to operate programs for the development of the local community and the innovative role of the university in the future.”
