FXCO, a fashion-cultural complex that coexists with local young people, was officially opened on October 1st as Daegu City planned to support the expansion of the market for emerging designer brands in the local fashion sector.

It aims to establish itself as a leading lifestyle space in the region, with editing stores that collect and showcase fashion brand products, art shops, cafes, restaurants, and free exhibitions that will bring some small joy to daily life.
