Synopsis

One day, when Noh was preparing for her show, a young stylist named Suh Eun-young comes to see her out of the blue. What kind of show will the two of them create amidst their differences and conflicts?

Program Note
Nora NOH was the first-ever designer to hold a fashion show in Korea in the 1950s and to make designer ready-made clothes. This film uses “fashion” as a medium and attempts to illustrate women\'s desire and compose women\'s cultural history in the 1950s and 1960s. The director contextualizes the life of Nora NOH, who cultivated an independent world, by weaving together the representation of the past, the usage of video and film images, and the process of preparing for a fashion show in the present. In this documentary, Nora NOH\'s clothes are the links that unravel the memories and desires of various women who lived through that particular time period, and they also reveal how it was possible for women during the 1950s and 1960s to express themselves through fashion.
The most interesting part of the film is when the generation gap is visualized through the preparation for Nora NOH\'s fashion show, at which point the designers clash over the meaning of “clothing” and “show”. Nora NOH wants to signify the clothes she designed alongside the people who lived through the changes in time, while a young stylist hopes to present Nora NOH\'s “golden days” on a historical stage. Their differences in perspective raise interesting questions regarding the writing of women\'s history. [HONG So-in]
