Garosu-gil

In the 1980s art galleries started to move into the area, such as Gallery Yeh. After that, many cultural facilities were formed in this region, and these have been the foundation of Garosu-gil. In the 1990s, many young artists started to gather in this area. Many fashion designers also launched their own brand, so it became known as "Designer Street." Many small shops and restaurant also started to move into Garosugil. These days, many people visit this place and as it is famous as “Designer Street,” many other international clothing brands shops are now also located here. Based on this history, Garosu-gil presents a fascinating dichotomy of the old and new.

Garosu-gil is about 670m in length, with a width of 15m--which is less than a kilometer, but is still considered one of the main areas of Gangnam. The street official address is Dosan-daero buk 5-gil. Near this area there is Cheongdam-dong and Apgujeong-dong.
