The Jongno Tailor Shop, an outlet of the General Clothes Shop in Central District, Pyongyang, has been known for making fine men’s suits.
It gained in popularity on the occasion of the Spring Clothes Show–2024.
In addition to men’s suits, it presented women’s suits featured by new fashion and elegance, drawing the attention of experts.
The credit goes to Pak Hye Gyong, chief of the outlet who is also a costume designer with unusual creativity and passion.
It was only a few years ago when she was appointed the chief of the tailor shop.
She struck a personal connection with clothes influenced by her mother who was noted for styling men’s suits for maximum elegance, and designed and made fresh yet smart suits that immaculately fit male customers.
She came to see a dress by chance when she attended Autumn Clothes Show–2023.
She was fascinated by its elegance.
While trying to make her own version of the dress, she made up her mind to walk into women’s clothes.
She soon set herself to work out a design.
Through deep thought and research, she made collars that give a three-dimensional effect to the dress with cutting line and pleat, knife-shaped covers of the sleeve cuffs, and a blue petal decoration, which added to the elegance and splendor of the dress.
The new dress was admired by the employees.
Her other designs received warm feedback from experts at the Spring Clothes Show–2024.
She also presented men’s and women’s suits to the show to win recognition as a “designer versed in combing colours uniquely”.
Her men’s and women’s suits were awarded the best prizes in the two-piece category at the show.
