KOREAN LEGACY
A modern reinterpretation of patterns used in embroidery such as pillows, furniture, and various patterns that have been used in architecture.
A history that goes as far as the history of human civilization. Whenever we wear a shirt or a fancy dress, we wear our history and culture, giving a little sneak peek of who we truly are to the world.
Our heritage is an essential part of our culture and lives. It helps us understand our history and traditions better. It also allows us to get to know ourselves more intimately and understand why we are the way we are.
“Here at Moccozi, we understand the importance of our traditional values and heritage. We provide our customers with fabrics as exclusive as they are, but with a touch of our legacy.”
As the founder of this brand, Sue Kim, was born in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, she found herself hit by a great sense of nostalgia and memories consisting of many colorful and diverse patterns of fabrics and furniture present in her childhood but are slowly disappearing.
Not everything can be undone, but some parts of those beautiful patterns can be preserved forever by incorporating them into different patterns so that future generations can glimpse our beautiful legacy. This idea led to the creation of this beautiful masterpiece..
Sue Kim is a woman of multiple beautiful cultures. Throughout her life, she saw all the incredible aspects of various cultures and made them a part of her personality. She studied Chinese historical culture and languages in college. In high school, she studied Japanese for two years and became fluent.
After her marriage, she moved to North America, where she encountered and got accustomed to many diverse cultures, traditions, and values. Throughout her life, she has seen such a wide range of cultural diversity that she became keenly interested in learning more about cultural differences and preservation.
My spouse's grandmother descended from the final Joseon Dynasty governor of Dongnae Province. There were various ancestral rites because his family was a well-known Yangban. She, therefore, frequently had to put in all night. During that time, great Grandma would began to narrate all sorts of tales. Because the stores were so fascinating, staying up all night wasn't tough. The lovely stories she had listened to all night were lost when his grandma died too soon.
“I was raised in the heart of Seoul, Korea, undergoing a tremendous economic and cultural transformation. So many objects in my immediate surroundings vanished.”
When I was six years old, one of my acquaintances lived in a Hanok, a traditional Korean home. My companion and I reclined on the Dacheong Maru while we listened to the wind rustling through the bamboo forest. The sound was enigmatic.
I'm not saying that modernization is evil, and traditions are good. I have spent a lot of life working to create anything from cloth. I had thought the tales and patterns I had forgotten would be fascinating to include in the textiles. As I grew older, I realized the gravity of what I had lost and developed sympathy for the loss of variety. What we have already lost cannot be recovered, but what is left may be brought into my space and time.
It seemed a little heavy when it mentioned Korean ancestry. I considered it was grandstanding, and I did not intend to speak for all of Korea. I wanted to carry on our ancestors' legacy. To better capture this philosophy, I called the series "Legacy." .
The Joseon dynasty in Korea ruled for almost 500 years. Confucianism was the dominant religion in Korea under the Joseon Dynasty, and economy and orderliness were valued. As a result, they were pretty reluctant to decorate their clothing with elaborate designs. Consequently, the textiles were relatively limited, even if there were several designs from which I could draw inspiration.
