Notes

PyeongChang 2018 – outfits worn by the hostesses and tray bearers at the medal ceremonies. The outfits of the hostesses and tray bearers were created by Geum Key-sook, a professor of textile arts and fashion design at Hongik University in Seoul. She modernised the style of traditional Korean winter clothes by including a snowflake design and the Korean alphabet. The bright colours of red, white and blue were selected to symbolise the Korean flag and express the identity of the host country. OCOG donation
