The second lecture, scheduled for the 26th, will be led by Kim Honggi, who is active as a fashion curator and lecturer. Kim Honggi, known as Korea's first fashion curator, was responsible for exhibition planning for designers Andre Kim and Lee Shinwoo, and is recognized for his fashion humanities lectures. The topic of this lecture is "Fashion Designers Representing the 20th Century," and will be presented in an engaging manner using photographic materials from the speaker's personal collection.

The August 2nd lecture will be given by Professor Heo Jeongseon of the Department of Textile and Fashion Design at Kyungpook National University. Under the theme "Contemporary Art and Fashion Designers," the lecture will take a humanities approach to fashion by discussing stories of fashion designers who have integrated art and fashion.

Applications for participation can be made through the Daegu Textile Museum website, and on-site registration will also be available for up to 50 people on the day of the event.

The special exhibition "People Who Led Fashion Designer Culture," which is currently being held with great success, will run until August 4th. This exhibition is a great opportunity to explore the influence and significance of early fashion designers who led modern fashion culture in shaping our fashion landscape. Visitors can see garments that vividly reflect the culture and society from the 1950s to the 2000s in one place, so it is highly recommended to visit during the summer vacation season.

Lee Seokgi, chairman of the Daegu Gyeongbuk Textile and Fabric Industry Cooperative Association, stated, "This lecture series is an opportunity to reflect on the social impact of fashion designers who have led Korean fashion, which is now at the center of the world," adding, "We hope to continue operating specialized textile and fashion lectures so that the domestic textile and fashion industry can gain even more momentum."
