‘Alek Sigley, an Australian graduate student at Kim Il Sung University in the North Korean capital Pyongyang, first reported on the unique fashion trend in a column for news site NK News. His article overviewed a men’s fashion magazine released by the country’s Clothing Research Center. A scan of an interior spread of the magazine featured button-up dress shirts and Sigley translated the Korean text to the left side.
“Clothing made from artificial flannelette fabrics composed of trace elements such as high-grade protein, amino acids, fruit juice, magnesium, iron and calcium, as clothing worn by people engaged in sailing, outdoor exploration and mountain climbing, can be eaten to avoid starvation in the event that food has run out,” the copy read. On the other side of spread, another caption said: “Clothing that dissolves in water.”’
