An industry-academia collaboration project was held in partnership with the art sock brand "HOTSOX" to plan, sell, and promote socks.

Students from Fashion Creator, Brand Management, and Stylist will be divided into 10 teams to develop their own brand concepts and gain practical experience in the fashion business process, including target analysis, product planning, visual production, and social media marketing.

The socks that were produced will go on sale from November 11th (Socks Day) on the HOTSOX official e-commerce site and at mass retailers nationwide.
Prior to that, our school will be holding a pre-sale starting November 1st (Saturday). Starting with "Nue," a student-run shop inside HEP FIVE, sales will expand to the Autumn Festival and then to an overseas pop-up in Seoul, South Korea.
