Miss Koco Knows Korean Shoe Trends
Apr 1, 2007 Author: FMS | Filed under: Fashion Police!, Shoutouts!, Street RunwayFrom the “Miss Koco Does Korea” blog, we’d like to pass along a couple burning questions about Korean shoe fashion:
Why do Korean women turn high heels into flip-flops? 왜 항상 하이힐 샌들을 슬리퍼로 만드는가?
Indeed, how does one wear footsies with sandals and get away with it? 진짜 이렇게 신어도 되는가?
FMS will add another to the list. 또 하나 있는데…
When does a fashion trend actually die? 도대체 언제 어떤 유행이 죽는가?
진짜. 그만이야. Let this fashion die, already! ㅋㅋㅋ.

- Bekah: Cute outfits! But I think it’s too cold here to wear any of those, haha.
- G-Funk: Plz think about one’s feeling when u type something on da web

- DS: Yes, I’m guessing that the watermark is there to protect your property. But not even National Geographic does this. I think if you want your photos to be distributed far and wide, you need to show them at their...

How exciting! A shoe column. I am imagining you as Carrie on Sex in the City. Going with Janine to get a pedicure in Manhattan Saturday. Very excited to be a part of this assignment. MOM
