In this paper, we intend to study what new trends appearing on the Kyongsong street in 1930s such as mini-skirt, hand-bag, silk stockings, high heels, short hair etc. mean, and how a view of the value of clothing and ornament intervenes in literature in the form of foremost discourse. Namely, it is the object of this paper to try to expend the meaning of fashion in the colonial literature which came to the peak of modernity in 19305 ~yond material dimension. Fashion is a dominant style within a certain period of time and a social assimilation phenomenon which is infected as people choose taste, relish, the way of thinking, the way of action, etc. consciously or unconsciously. It pursues a novelty beyond simple practicality, and always contains a change. In fashion, the system of transience and the system of a beauty fantasy combine and exist together. The reason why fashion is important is that it establishes a essentially modem social system which is frees form the influence of the past. Though fashion is not restricted to clothing and ornament, the field of them has embodied the process of fashion up to date. Though the origin of modem fashion is traced back to a civilized age, the active meaning of it can be searched from literature in 1930s. After a civilized age, what have led modem fashion in korea is, in the case of the man, western style clothes and short hair. Wearing western style clothes meant the whole change of outward appearance, including coat, necktie, shape of collar, braces, hat, cane, cuffs etc. Short hair was the event which was the height of modem appearance change. It was described as modem and civilized power in the bildungsroman including . Though the man's wearing western clothes and short hair were fixed easily in the practical aspect, they were, in the case of the woman, loudly attacked by the conservative force. But the woman's western clothes, short hair, western make-up and health management were Joined together and changed ideal beauty conditions. This gave rise new image of modem ego. Kim-ki-rim, in his essay, showed us keen sensibility to fashion of modem girls who stretched along the Kyongsong street. What he perceived through the modem girl's short hair, miniskirt, fox-fur muffler and high heels was a beauty fantasy and transience as the peculiar axes of fashion. Roaming about the brilliant fashion street, he rush into the process of pleasant meditation(=he was lost in pleasant meditation). But this adventure of a beauty fantasy fell into languor of transience easily as soon as it was faced with a living. It was the novel of manner in the late of 1930s that made fashion system in which a beauty fantasy and transience exist together into literature. The world which was reconstructed actively in Kim-nam-chen's , You-jin-au's , Park- Tae-won's and so on, was not an ideology-centric reality but the spot of everyday life filled with fashion. Especially Kim-nam-chun and You-jin-au set forth a new novel methodology that follow trivial meanings of everyday life through 'the theory of creation' such as 'the theory of manner description', 'the theory of observation literature', 'the realism of street', etc. Reality in the novel of manner looks like a street scene that a wholesome worker takes a walk with western clothes weared, with a soft hat put on, and with a cane carried. This was exactly a reality of new modem everyday in a true sense.
