A spectacular art–fashion manifesto — transforming

the uniform into a bold statement of rupture, resistance, and identity

Uni Form: Broken Twill expands upon Choi Chul-yong’s solo exhibition at the Total Museum of Contemporary Art (2025). Through monumental paintings, woven pattern series, and experimental book design, the project dismantles the rigid form of the “uniform” and reveals the fractures where individuality and dissent emerge.

The book goes beyond documentation: essays by aesthetic theorist Ha Sun-gyu reinterpret the weaving technique “broken twill” as a metaphor for instability in modern subjectivity, while the design of the book itself — with silk-screened fabric labels stitched into the cover — makes it an art object.

Choi Chul-yong

Choi Chul-Yong studied Textile Art and Fashion Design at Hongik University and its graduate school and later explored the intersection of design and art at the Domus Academy in Milan. After working as a fashion designer and art director for European fashion brands such as Meltin’pot (Italy), Wrangler Blue Bell (Belgium), and Marteli (Italy), he returned to Korea in 2009 and launched his own brand, Cy Choi. Cy Choi has held 18 presentations in Paris, participated in Seoul Fashion Week 10 times, and won the Samsung Fashion Design Fund (SFDF) twice. Choi was named Fashion Designer of the Year by Arena in 2014 and recognized as a promising newcomer by Italian Vogue in 2010. Currently, he serves as a professor in the Department of Textile Art and Fashion Design at Hongik University and continues his role as the creative director of Cy Choi.
