Sanbuk-dong Managers' Fashion Cooperative Founding General Meeting [Gyeonggi-do]

[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] A cooperative leading the textile and fashion industry in the Gyeonggi region has taken its first step toward a new leap forward.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 22nd, "The 'Sanbuk-dong Siljangnim Fashion Cooperative' held its inaugural general meeting at the Gyeonggi Textile Comprehensive Support Center on the 21st."

At the general meeting, 28 promoters along with representatives from Gyeonggi Province, Yangju City, and the Korea Fashion Designers Federation resolved agenda items including the election of executives, establishment of the cooperative’s articles of association, business plan, and budget approval, and elected designer Lee Sang-bong (235 Research Institute) as the cooperative head.

Directors appointed were Kim Joo-han (Daily Mirror), Jang Yoon-kyung (SseSseSse), Yang Yoon-ah (Vegan Tiger), Yoo Jung-eun (Julie & Daisy), and auditor Kim Moo-gyeom (Convexo).

The name 'Sanbuk-dong Siljangnim Fashion Cooperative' was chosen considering that the Gyeonggi Fashion Creation Studio is located in Sanbuk-dong, Yangju City, and that most fashion designers are referred to as 'Siljangnim' (department heads).

The main projects include ▲ securing human content and supporting global designers ▲ establishing new distribution channels in northern Gyeonggi and improving production environments ▲ expanding networking among local textile and fashion industry organizations ▲ launching a joint brand '1215 Designers (ILLYILO DESIGNERS)'.

Early next year, the online fashion platform '1215 Designers (ILLYILO DESIGNERS)' will open.

Cooperative head Lee Sang-bong said, "To make the textile industry a future high value-added industry, it is necessary to link the textile material production base with the fashion industry to nurture global fashion brands."
