Dong-A University Fashion Design Department Opens Select Shop in Local Large Shopping Mall

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Dong-A University’s Department of Fashion Design has opened a joint store for designer brands from the Busan area, including six brands by graduate designers, in a large shopping mall in Busan.

The recently opened high-end street fashion select shop “Crusor” in Art Malling, Hadan-dong, Saha-gu, Busan, showcases high-sensitivity high fashion designer brand products from the Busan region.

The brands featured include 12 in total: “Nextdoor Lips,” “Gongilgongsa,” “Lake Rack,” “Chemessee,” “Only I Exist,” “Irregular,” “Yusim,” “Diadem,” “Benesi,” “Loic,” “Random Line,” and “Helix Clothing.”

These brands were founded within the last 10 years by graduates of fashion-related departments in Busan, including Dong-A University. The select shop “Crusor” is also a distribution brand jointly founded by Dong-A University graduates.

Professors from Dong-A University’s Department of Fashion Design, Artmalling officials, and representatives from the select shop 'Crusor' are taking a commemorative photo at the store.

The select shop “Crusor” plans to focus on sophistication through in-depth brand selection and professional management, based on steadily increasing consumer demand among young people in their 20s and 30s and a favorable attitude toward domestic brands.

The Department of Fashion Design at Dong-A University and Art Malling have actively supported the store through industry-academia cooperation.

They provided a permanent offline store to support emerging designers who have excellent design capabilities and product quality but find it difficult to access offline stores. This support aims to nurture emerging designers and contribute to the development of the local fashion industry.

Lee Sun-hee, head of the Department of Fashion Design, said, “We hope that many people will show interest and love for the brands featured in Art Malling’s ‘Crusor,’ a space that represents the creative capabilities of fashion design graduates working as emerging designers in the region.”
