Surrealism is adopted in design as a way to create unique and distinct design deviated from ordinary things, and it serves as a means to quench contemporary persons’ thirst for novelty and individuality. Derived from surrealism, there emerged costume reflecting characteristics of surrealism, and progressive design costumes applying surrealism styles have continuously come to surfaces up to today. Such costumes resulted in diversification of expression deviated from traditional costume with formality, and they lay out unprecedented experimental and progressive design based on designer’s creativeness and imagination. Surrealism is well suited to articulating individuality in that it is differentiated from traditional artistic formality and offers to broaden the possibilities of free expression and creation, this research is focused on designing and producing Korean costume reflecting characteristics of surrealism. Among Korean costumes, “Po (a generic term referring to an outer robe)” was selected given that it involves many compositions and its long length allows various designs and styles. This also reflects on concept and developments of surrealism, and also includes analysis on the characteristics of surrealism to design and produce Korean costume reflecting it. The purpose of this research is to blend traditional Korean costume with Western artistic movement surrealism to offer broadened views on Korean costume design. In succession to Korean costume, this offers experimental and various designs in line with changing trends, and proposes a new concept meeting contemporary persons’ emotional needs and carves out Korean costume market, thereby setting the direction for Korean costume design and serving as a reference for creative research on Korean costume design down the road. These are where the values of this research lie in. Hopefully, this research could also lay a foundation for another attempt towards novel design work by mixing Korean costume with Western art trend other than surrealism which would lead to Korean costume design in line with changing trends and befitting contemporary persons’ individuality, thereby further lifting up Korean costume.
