Meet acclaimed Korean designer Lie Sang Bong, whose worldwide clientele for avant-garde clothing includes celebrities like Lady Gaga and Beyonce. He will discuss a career that spans more than two decades, in which he has combined a keen fashion sense, an artist’s vision, and inspiration from his Korean roots. Using a multi-media presentation, Lie will illustrate the many influences of Korean culture—including traditional paintings, calligraphy, and architecture—in his designs.
Experiencing Lie Sang Bong’s work at MAD, in addition to seeing Korea’s contemporary artists on display at the Korean Eye: Energy and Matter exhibit, emphasizes the incredible dynamism of Korean culture today.
Lie Sang Bong: Fashion, Art, and Korean Culture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Korean Eye: Energy and Matter, on view through February 19, 2012.
