The purpose of this study was to make marketing strategies for Korean fashion companies that wish to enter into foreign markets. In-depth-interviews along with documentary research were performed on consumers who lived in Italy. The interviews were executed from May to December 2010. The results of research were as follows. The general image of Korea was at a high level. Therefore, the general and economical image of Korea had a significant impact on product evaluation. However, the Italian consumer had only a little understanding about the Korean fashion brand and product. This was so because the Korean fashion companies did not appear in the Italian fashion market. However, they were accustomed to using products of Samsung and LG. Therefore, the economical image of Korea is necessary to facilitate the official entrance of fashion companies in the Italian market as well as the global market.
