Overview

The Association's work has two parts: helping members expand abroad, and training and teaching the people who will take the world stage. Businesses are run by businesses — the Association builds the stage and trains the people who stand on it. We pursue this through three tracks: Talent Development, Education & Information, and Member Support & Exchange.

First Stage — LEVANTIS Paris 2026

The first stage for the talent we train is "LEVANTIS Paris 2026," a Korean fashion and beauty event held on October 6, 2026 during Paris Fashion Week at the Musée national des arts asiatiques – Guimet. Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has certified it as an official event marking the 140th anniversary of Korea–France diplomatic relations.

Emerging models who will take the world stage are selected at a public audition in Seoul on September 18, then go through on-site auditions and fittings in Paris on October 1–2 before the main event. The entire process, from the Seoul launch ceremony to the main event in Paris, is documented in video and photos. Starting with this stage, the Association will put Korea's cultural talent on the world stage every season.

What the Association Leaves Behind

• A path for creators — Our open calls and public auditions are open to anyone, from university students to working creators. We offer free practical training for going abroad, and those selected go on to become members after taking the world stage.
• A stage for industry — Footwear, accessory, and beauty brands share the stage alongside designers. The Association handles the outreach, venue booking, and external negotiations that are difficult for an individual creator to manage alone, and domestic manufacturing and materials companies also have their names on the Paris stage.
• Korea's story for the world — From the audition to the Paris runway, we document the journey in video, photos, and broadcast content. The stage lasts a day, but the record remains an archive continually visible to overseas media, buyers, and platforms — a promotional asset for participating companies and a reference for the next season's applicants.

The Association is in preparation, and the programs above will begin once it is established. Detailed programs and support methods by field will be finalized after the Association is founded.
