韓國 女性服 變遷에 관한 硏究 - 1920, 30年代의 新女性 服裝을 中心으로

A STUDY ON THE CHANGES IN WOMEN"S CLOTHES IN KOREA -Focusing on the Modern Women"s Dress and Ornaments in the 1920s and the 1930s-

  A few Korean women, in the upper classes, began to wear western clothing after the country first opened its ports to foreign influence. At this time the Han Bok was slightly modified. But after the Korea-Japan Unification, the aspiration for independence and the national awareness inspired a reformation movement which triggered a developing pride in wearing the Han Bok.   The failure of the March 1st movement in 1919 caused intense national frustration. However, during this period even greater numbers of women entered modern schools, sparking a new phase in dress and ornaments.   Modern Korean women developed new viewpoints and behaviors through their exposure to new ideas, including the radical notion of equality berween the sexes. While education gave these women an expanded leadership role in society, they were also criticised for their overt imitation of western fashion and luxury.   In the 1920s, the rising education movement and the improved living conditions enjoyed by these modern women brought about a marked improvement in local dressmaking, as the skill was taught more widely throughout the country. As female students increased in number, the styles of their uniforms began to influence the general populace.   In the 1930s, western style clothing became even more widely utilized and varied. Permanent waves, high heels, and hand-bags came into vogue with expanded use of fur stoles made from fox and other varieties of imported furs, spreading a wave of luxurious dress throughout the upper classes. The media, especially newspapers and magazines, contributed heavily to this trend of bringing foreign fashion into vogue within the nation as a whole.   In the late 1930s, as Japan siphoned Korea"s resources into her expansionist movement, the country became increasingly depressed and western clothing became increasingy unaffordable. And so the wearinlg of the Mompe and national clotthes came into prominance.
