The purpose of this research was to look at the aesthetic characteristics embedded in Korean traditional artifacts to examine how these characteristics have been rejuvenated in contemporary Korean fashion. Traditional Korean aesthetic characteristics were categorized into four areas: pure formality, naturalistic simplicity, symbolic decoration, and playful spontaneity. The examples of fashion design which represent these four aesthetic characteristics were found mainly in fashion collections of Korean designers such as Lie Sangbong and Lee Young Hee.
