[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Park Sang-chul, president of Honam University, visited the graduation exhibition of the related department for future designers and encouraged the graduates and faculty members.

According to Honam University on the 16th, President Park visited the '39th Graduation Exhibition' of the Fashion Design Department held at the auditorium on the first floor of IT Square the day before, supporting the prospective designers and faculty members who presented experimental works filled with passionate enthusiasm and creativity despite the difficult conditions caused by COVID-19.

At the event, President Park said, "It is regrettable that the graduation fashion show, which had established itself as a representative fashion culture content of the region by demonstrating differentiated scale and excellent work capabilities, was replaced by an exhibition this year due to COVID-19," but also praised, "The effort to overcome the limitations of the non-face-to-face untact era by sharing the concept video of the graduation exhibition through YouTube 'Honam University TV' was remarkable."

He also urged, "As the fashion industry in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution is gaining attention as a new growth engine that combines advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, virtual reality technology, and even humanities, please continue to develop the knowledge received from the excellent faculty and your own capabilities with pride in leading the regional fashion industry, and strive to grow into talents leading K-fashion."

The graduation exhibition, which continues until the 18th, is themed 'Beauty Encompassing Time' and is composed of six concepts inspired by designs from different eras, such as 'The Sun of Egypt,' 'Fantasy,' and 'In Search of Lost Time.' It plans and produces works that reinterpret various items in a modern way, presenting experimental designs that encompass the changing times.

The Fashion Design Department of Honam University has been cultivating practical talents in the fashion industry with planning and production capabilities in fashion design since its establishment in 1979.
