Buffalo State's Fashion and Textile Technology Department will host an exhibition by Choi Jeong Wook, Transcontinental Fashion Crossroads between the U.S. and Korea in the 20th Century, from Monday, April 4, through Wednesday, April 13, in the Technology Building's third-floor showcase. A reception will be held Tuesday, April 5, during Bengal Pause (12:15–1:30 p.m.) in the Technology Building's third-floor lobby.

Women’s fashion has always reflected changes in women’s status and roles in society as well as played a key role in the history of the women’s liberation movement and participation in political activities. Choi's exhibition demonstrates how American culture has influenced the dramatic and dynamic changes in women’s fashion in Korea during the twentieth century. Choi is a professor in the Department of Textile and Clothing Design at Kyung Hee University in Korea and is currently a visiting professor in the Buffalo State Fashion and Textile Technology Department.

This event is supported by the Buffalo State Faculty-Student Association.
