fashion is fetish is fabulous is fun is fantastic!
우리가 새로운 잡지라서 조금더 신기하게 연예인을 보는 것같고 그래도 신가하게 보면 어때? ㅋ
그래서 우리 온라인 잡지의 ‘실시퀸’이란 컬럼니스트가 앙드레이김을 만났을 때는 진짜 신났죠. 우연히 만났는데 나무 친절하게 사진을 같이 찍혀주신 거예요. 앙드레이 - 진짜 1935년생이신가요? 아닌 것같은데…베리베리 영계같네요.
We’re a young magazine, so we’re a bit more vulnerable to the cult of celebrity than older, more venerable cousins. But that means we are having more fun, right?
That being said, we’d like to give a “Heeeeeyyy!” to the super fashion masta Andre Kim, whom new columnist SalsaQueen bumped into at a recent hobnobbing event, and was wearing his signature white suit. Would you even guess that he’s a 72-year-old man? Looking phenomenally fresh!
앙드레이김의 50, 60년대의 활동에 대해ㅓ 모르신 분들이 밑에는 옛날 패션쇼의 컷 두개 있어요 (훈장의 가르침한테 고맙’s!)
For those of you who don’t know much about Andre’s early days, definitely check him out in some of his early shows (hat tip to the Hunjangui Karuchim blog for the video links). You can also learn a bit more about him from that same blog’s conversation about him here.
한국의 한 패션 디자이너에 대한 뉴욕타임즈의 한 기사도 한 번 읽어볼만 합니다. 그가 여는 쇼와 행사들은 말할 것도 없고, 그가 수십년 동안 한국 사회에 미친 영향 때문에 누구도 부인할 수 없는 한국의 가장 영향력 있는 패션 디자이너에 대한 기사입니다. 진정한 한국의 창조자.
Also worth checking out is The New York Times’ very recent article on this one-of-a-kind man, still Korea’s most influential fashion designer, hands down, just because of the impact he’s had on Korean society decades ago, not to mention the shows and events he puts on now. Truly, a Korean original.
그리고 살사퀸은 뉴페이스이니까 제대로 인사시켜야 하는데 나중에 할 거고 지금은 간단하게 말하면 그녀는 대게 쿻한 사람이고 남성패션에 대해서 관심이 많대요. 그래서 그쪽에 우리 사이트에서 파이오니어이죠.
우리 사이트가 계속 여러 재밌는 사람들을 만나려고하고 서울에서 좋은 인맥을 만드는 중이예요. 그래서 초대한 파티나 그런 행사가 있으면 우리 누구를 보내드릴께요: 사진, 촬영할께요!
And since SalsaQueen is a new face, she also should get a proper introduction, which will come in a later post. But for now, just know that she’s a cool character here on the site who is very interested in male fashion in Korea and will be forging a path towards developing content in that direction. Two trailblazers in one post! Yay!
We’re working hard to make more friends and stronger connections in the fashion world, both on the streets and on the runways, so if you know of any events we could and should be attending, do drop us a line!

Awesome! I think Andre Kim might be from another planet. I mean, I think he’s an alien, in a good way.
Well, he’s got a white spacesuit! But you know, it seems really comfortable, and he said that it’s because he hasn’t been able to keep the figure he wants that he deemphasizes it with his trademark outfits that he has over 100 of, according to that NYT article.
Maybe I should look into some spacesuits of my own? Would save me a lotta hassle in the morning:
“What to wear? What to wear? Ahh! The white again!”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I’m full of hate, so no comment on the white thing he’s got going on.
However, the two videos were great
I loved seeing the models try their best to work it down those narrow lanes while trying not to bump into each other.
The stuff reminds me of some of my mom’s old clothes that I’ve got in storage.
