현재 한국김치는 80여 개국에 수출되어 해외에서 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있는 식품이 되었지만 "한국김치" 라는 명칭은 아직 국제적으로 보호받지 못하고 있다. 김치 뿐 아니라 연간 70억 불을 수출하는 한국의 농식품도 이제는 해외에서 보호받을 수 있는 제도적 장치를 마련해야 한다. 2020년 김치산업진흥법이 개정되면서 "한국김치"의 지리적 표시를 할 수 있는 법적근거가 마련되었다. 현행 제도와 생산자 단체 간의 쟁점은 있지만, 지리적 표시가 자국의 농산물과 산업보호의 수단으로 활용된다는 기본 취지에 우선하여 한국김치가 국내뿐 아니라 수출국에서 보호받을 수 있도록 법적인 권리를 조속히 마련해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the concepts of heterotopic image and fashion space, and the characteristics of fashion space and images from the perspective of fashion brands and users. This study examines the evolution of fashion space and consumers with it, based on Foucault's theory of heterotopia, which refers to spaces that blend contradictory features not typically found within a single physical structure. This is accomplished by employing a single case study of Ader Error's Ader Space, a Seoul-based brand known for its unique approach to presenting and communicating fashion. Based on an analysis of Instagram posts of Ader Error along with the hashtag searches "aderspace" and "adererror", this study categorizes heterotopia from the perspective of fashion brands into three properties: fashion space as a medium for selling fashion products; fashion space as getaway to hybrid fashion practices; and fashion space as an illusionary place to experience fashion. From the user perspective, the heterotopic image of Ader Space portrayed on Instagram is characterized by the image of fashion products in an extraordinary fashion space, the image of a fashion space beyond space and time, and the image of exposing the hidden and the illusion-compensation of fashion space. This study contributes to a heightened understanding of the evolutionary concept of the fashion space.
