The exhibition will showcase a total of 30 works, including 15 ready-to-wear pieces and 15 fashion art pieces. The ready-to-wear section focused on trendy current styles, designing goth ＆ elegance women's formalwear combining Gothic era imagery, romantic ＆ sporty women's casualwear blending Romantic era and equestrian wear images, and goth ＆ sporty unisex casualwear incorporating Gothic era and kendo uniform imagery.

In addition, the fashion art section created garments under the theme Future ＆ Coexist, addressing environmental preservation issues through three teams: Form Contrast, Color Contrast, and Material Contrast.

The Form Contrast team expressed the message of global warming through the contrast of black ＆ red forms, while the Color Contrast team depicted a bright and clear future Earth image using vivid tone contrasts on a white background.

Lastly, the Material Contrast team embodied the image of a future Earth overcoming environmental issues through contrasts in recycled materials.

Jina Kim, a student who oversaw the overall planning of the graduation exhibition, stated, “The prospective graduates who prepared this exhibition will continue the ideas and identity for coexistence with the future, as the theme ‘Future ＆ Coexist’ suggests,” and expressed her aspiration, “We will follow in the footsteps of our seniors and grow into outstanding fashion professionals.”
