A DRESS FIT FOR AN OPERATIC LEGEND
The costume of acclaimed and internationally renowned Operatic Soprano Sumi Jo's wax figure was specially made by South Korea's top designer, Seo Seung-yeon for (the former) GREVIN SEOUL museum!
It was made with a motif of our country's national flower, the mugunghwa (or the "Rose of Sharon" Hibiscus). Designer Seo Seung-yeon added traditional Korean colors with a combination of red, white, black and white. As expected of a designer who is usually in charge of Sumi Jo's costumes, she gave the wax figure a beautiful dress that matches it

In addition, the Grevin Paris Workshop team made the sensible choice of matching the lip color to the dress color further enhances the realism of Sumi Jo's wax figure!
Dedicated to preserving the history of Wax Arts, and the unique stories of all those involved in its development, WAXIPEDIA strives to be the number one source of information on the subject of Wax Museums and their role in the attractions and entertainment industries. Through the sharing of photographs, brochures, movies and stories we hope to enlighten, engage and entertain all who discover us.
As a resource, the WAXIPEDIA ARCHIVES was established in 2014 as a repository for physical examples and information pertaining to these educational goals. Consisting of thousands of items (ranging from century-and-a-half year old guidebooks to life-sized wax figures) the ARCHIVES are the backbone of WAXIPEDIA's mission and we hope to inspire future generations of artists, designers, historians and fans.
Anyone interested in donating items to the ARCHIVES are encouraged to reach out to me directly at timothywrandall@gmail.com
