The trousers and their accompanying jacket form an outfit tailored in typical Korean style by the textile artist Chunghie Lee. Geometric patchwork forms the sleeves and trouser legs, while the jacket front is of figured silk gauze. The loose, relaxed shape of the trousers also derives from traditional dress in pre-modern Korea. Chunghie Lee, a graduate of Hong Ik University in Seoul, made this ensemble around 1993.
