A research team from the Department of Fashion Design at Kookmin University (President Jung Seung-ryul) is embarking on a study to improve the design of police uniforms to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the National Police Agency.

 

To this end, a report on the start of the study was held at the National Police Agency in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on Tuesday, April 1. This research on improving the design of replicas was conducted jointly by Professor Kim Seung-hyun and Park Ju-hee of the Department of Fashion Design at Kookmin University, and designers Gye Han-hee and Cho Eun-hye, who are in the doctoral program at the university. At the kick-off meeting, the research team announced an implementation plan for “balance design,” which ensures functionality for each duty and resolves the disharmony between the elements of the clothing, for the uniforms of the National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department.

 

Kim Seung-hyun, a professor of costume design at Kookmin University who was in charge of the research, said, “The image of on-site police officers is represented by out-of-work vests and equipment that have not undergone professional design,” and “We will improve their activities and convenience with materials and construction methods that apply new technologies, and try to harmonize the replicas and equipment.”

 

Lee Ho-young, Acting Commissioner of the National Police Agency, said, “The image of a police officer is not only a factor that influences the public's trust, but also directly affects the police officer's pride and confidence.” “Considering the pace of technological evolution, it is time to review the duplication of on-site police officers, and I believe that if police uniforms for each department are equipped with the functions and images necessary to perform their duties, they will contribute to fulfilling the police's responsibility to serve the public.” said.

 

 

Meanwhile, the police uniform developed by the research team at Kookmin University will be unveiled at a fashion show on Police Day, Tuesday, October 21.
