Korean brands to get permanent display space in New York

The South Korean ministry of culture, sports and tourism is opening a permanent promotion venue for South Korean fashion brands and designers in New York in February next year.

The showroom, which will show outfits from various brands and designers will be built at a cost of $1.68 million and will be open in time for New York Fashion Week, next year.

According to a South Korean news agency, the showroom is being opened in response to requests from the industry to have a permanent location in New York, which is the centre for global fashion, rather than participate in various events.
