There will be numerous ethnic group shows this fashion season, including the Arise African, Unreserved American Indian and Flanders Fashion Institute presentations. But on Saturday and Sunday, as a group of six South Korean labels -- And & Debb, Juun.J, Kuho, Doii Paris, Roliat and Park Choon Moo -- take over the New York Public Library, the event will be just Act ! in a two-year partnership between the CFDA and the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's Korea Creative Content Agency, Titles Concept Korea. The project will take on an exchange -program approach with a CFDA shop-in-shop in Seoul, highlighting emerging American designers in the upcoming year. Though that roster has yet to be determined, there is talk of presenting the Stateside designers at Seoul Fashion Week. Samsung Fashion & Design Funds will also be lending its support.
