Hyeju (Julia) Han Hello. I am Julia Han from Korea. For my personal project, I decided to investigate the clothing to express ourselves with the following question ‘How can we ensure that clothing is an effective representation of the self?’ I aimed to prove a cloth is an effective way of self-expression. Specifically, there were several reasons that I chose the topic as self-expression through a cloth. Firstly, I am really interested in fashion, especially clothes.

My product is the T-shirt about HK, it may looks not a attractive one but at least it is a good one, it shows the advantage and the disadvantage of HK so that they can understand the real HK.
