Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study the contents of the state sector policy, private sector policy, civil society sector policy, and the roles of designers of fashion industry development of South Korea; to study the methods of implementation of those policies into practice; and to propose the development strategy for the Thai fashion industry. This research employed the documentary research method. The data sources were relevant documents, photos, websites, research reports, newspapers and fashion event activities. The results reveal that the South Korean government has formulated a number of creative economic policies in support of fashion industry development. The private sector likewise has policies in support of the fashion industry development; for example, “Samsung” established its “Samsung Fashion and Design Fund (SFDF)” in 2005 with the aim of supporting young designers. As for South Korea’s civil society sector, the “Korea Fashion Association” (KFA) established in 1985, has the main objective to develop South Korea’s fashion industry. It is also found that the roles of South Korea’s fashion industry designers are outstanding. The researcher’s analysis provides strong evidence of how a multi-faceted approach can yield promising results for the development of South Korea’s fashion industry.
