In Korean, a feeling in between sorrow and anger is called “Han”. I believe that everyone has “Han” inside hidden themselves afraid to show to others. Fashion was always a language to me that is more direct and evident than verbal language. The clothes one wear represents the mood of them, and clothing could be the most direct way of speaking their mood without the distraction of speaking a single word.
Through Collecion “H:AN (한)”, people could show their inner Han by wearing the garments that are portrayed of their hidden emotions.
