우리 “길거리 스타일” 컬럼은 개인의 패션 선택만 벤치마킹 하는 것이아니라, 차라리 대표적인 길거리에서 보일 수 있는 패션 장르를 잡으려고 해요.

“Street Styles” tracks not just individual fashion choices, but tries to capture fashion that is representative of types of fashion genres visible on the Korean streets.

신촌공원에서 만났던 패던션어블 디자이너 두명을 알게 됐는데 대표적인 한국식 ‘캐주얼’ 스타일로 봤어요. 그래도 미국의 기준으로는 좀 정장편이네요. 왜냐하면 한국에서는 아무래도 하이할을 신잖아요. 멋진 벨트랑. 디자이너 진하고. 역시 한국의 ‘캐주얼’의 기준이 미국인의 눈으로 보면 예쁘게 ‘dress up’된 것처럼 보이네요.

Two professional women — junior fashion designers in a company — pause for the camera in Shinchon Park. Theirs is very typical casual women’s style, which of course includes heels with jeans, which also makes for a classy-but-casual look. In Korea, casual just ain’t that casual.

멀티매거진이란?

이 거 뭐냐고요? 바로 한국 패션을 사랑하는 미국인사진작가의 만든 한국의 최초의 street fashion and style "멀티매거진"이예요. 반갑죠? ㅋㅋㅋ

우리 멀테매거진은 대부분의 한국 패션잡지하고 달라요. 여러 사람들을 모여서 '리얼 패션'을 직접 찍고 촬영하고 녹음도 하고. 그리고 UCC과 podcast하고 멋진 멀티미디어 컨텐츠와 솔직한 글로 색다른 online magazine을 제공해요. 멀티미디어 + 매거진 = "멀티매거진"이죠. 지금 발전중이라 이쁘게 봐주시고 우리 컴뮤니티에 가입을 좀 하시죠? 우리 FMS의 사이트와 함께 서울의 멋진 길거리와 맛집에서 만나보자!


What is FASHION?

"패션은 옷과 함께 하는 것만은 아니에요...하늘에도, 길에도 패션은 있고, 패션은 우리의 생각과 삶의 방식, 주변에서 일어나는 일들과도 함께해야만 해요."

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

--- Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

    • FMS: I think it is, but phone numbers in this country change as often as the fashions. Hmm. He does have a Cyworld page that probably DOESN’T change — isn’t that still in the original post?
    • paulo: is the shop in itaewon still around..? i have to find it.. and get my first tattoo… hehehe
    • Mark Sim: Awesome tattoos. I couldn’t get the cy-world page to work. Is the parlour still around? I’ve been looking to get one done while I am in Korea. Anyone know how to contact them otherwise?
    • wenny agustina: dont judge book by its cover, its all wanna to say.. having tattoo in body doesn’t means you are bad person.

    • Joanna: I see a bunch of girls doning this style in Shinchon and it pains me to see it. Almost as much as seeing girls wear black tights in the summer.
    • april: I’m all for gladiators…but the socks would make the feet look like they have some disease!^^
    • dre: I don’t see how this is the least bit surprising, seeing that Native Korean girls are known to wear socks or the ubiquitous beige hosiery along with their open toe shoes, sandals, etc. ugh.
    • dre: Native Korean girls always know how to ruin a good pair of open toe sandals, shoes and whatnot by wearing some form of either sock or beige hosiery underneath, a la 60 year old female style.
    • Eunice: BIIIIG N-O. The socks cut her legs off and make her legs look stocky. With the flat gladiator sandals, this effect would look worse, not to mention just plain comical… ;;

What is STYLE?

"패션은 희미해지지만 스타일은 영원하다."

"Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

--- Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)






What is SEXY?

"있잖아..다리가 아름다운건 아니야...단지 그걸 어떻게 해야 하는지를 아는거야."

"Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them."

--- Marlene Dietrich (1901–1992)











What is TALENT?

"내가 연기할 수 없을 때, 난 연기를 해야 했고, 노래할 수 없을 때, 난 '익살스런 얼굴'을 노래해야 했다. 또, 난 Fred Astaire와 함께 춤을 춰야 했었는데, 그때는 춤을 출 수 있는 상황이 아니었다. 그러니까 내가 준비되지 않았을 때 난 이 모든것을 해야 했던 것이다. 그때 난 정말 미친듯이 이 난국을 타개하기 위해 노력했다."

"I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.”

---Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)
