This jeogori (jacket) takes inspiration from the flared shape of a 16th-century waist-length jeogori said to have been worn by the Kim clan from Yeonan province. The historical silhouette has been exaggerated on this ensemble by contrasting the length of the front and back panel. The western black lace adds a modern twist. Breaking the formal sequence of undergarment layers of hanbok, the pleated outer-layer underskirt mujigi is used here as the innermost underskirt to create a contemporary tapered silhouette.
