“아름답고 날씬한 몸매를 가진 사람은 무엇을 입어도 멋져 보입니다. 그러나 한국에서 평균 이상의 사이즈를 입는 여성이 한국에서 사는 것은 커다란 도전입니다. 이제 도전은 시작되었습니다! 제 몸매가 약간 통통하다는 것을 저는 전혀 부끄러워하지 않습니다. 저는 그 이상이니까요! TV에 나오는 대부분의 여성들보다 통통한 몸매를 지녔기 때문에 텔레비전에 나선다는 건 정말 힘든 도전입니다. 모두들 제가 몸무게를 줄이기를 희망했습니다. 라디오 담당자만 빼놓구요… 이쪽 세계에서 통통하다는 것은 특히 여성으로서는 꽤 불리한 점이었습니다. 이번 패션쇼는 제게 큰 용기가 필요한 결정이었습니다. 그렇지만 저도 예쁘고 아름다운 옷을 입고 싶었고 게다가 저는 컬러풀한 옷을 참 좋아합니다!” 도로시의 말이다.

Dorothy says that, “Anyone who has a beautiful or a petite figure will look good in anything they put on, but the serious CHALLENGE was living a life here in Korea and being beyond the regular petite size and now that is where the research and challenge began!~ so, in the long run, I don’t mind being a bit chubby, there is just more of me! The true challenge and test was being on television and being a bit chunkier than most females on TV — almost every producer and writer and coordinator has hoped for me to lose weight. Except in radio. But there seems to always be a slight frown being a Korean female and a bit chunkier in this industry. This has challenged me to great lengths and I want to wear pretty and beautiful clothes as well and also I LOVE colors!”

그녀는 전 세계를 여행하며 320개 도시를 방문하였으며 그러한 여행 경험은 디자인에 많은 영향을 끼쳤다. 또한 그녀는 국내 신예 아티스트들의 도움으로 그녀의 퓨전 감각과 한국 미술을 디자인에 접목시킬 수 있었다. 한복도 디자인하고 싶었지만 아쉽게도 이번 패션쇼에는 선보이지 못해서 아쉽다는 그녀는 국내 아티스트들의 작품을 소재로 다양한 색채의 세계를 펼칠 예정이다.

Also mentioning that many of her style and creativity comes from her travels around the world, visiting over 320 cities in many countries during her lifetime so far has influenced many of her designs. So for my first debut I had the chance to show my design abilities along w/ some wonderful great up and rising artists in Korea which allowed me to enter my fusion growing ups and also the Korean art into my clothing as well. I love to design with the Korean Hanboks but this was a chance I wanted to also try as my debut working along with Korean art and artists and of course COLOR into our lives.

여러 모델들이 진짜 여러 스타일을 입고 보여준 거네요. 꼬마까지! 초보자라도 너무 멋지지 않아요?

There were indeed a lot of different styles to be seen, and a diversity of models. Here’s a model who’s a true beginner, but looks like she has what it takes!

IMG_7098 copy 1아 — 어깨. 한국에서 너무나 야한 어깨. 한국에서는 어깨, 가슴을 노출하면 대게 야하다고 생각하잖아요. 웃기는 건 미국인의 기분으로 드레스/치마는 너무 짧은데. 보통 한국사람들이 미국은 ‘야하다’고 생각하지만 ‘왜 그렇게 생각하냐’고 물어보면 ‘그렇게 영화/TV에서 나온다’고 할 거예요. 근데 사실 내가 봤을 때 미국에서는 뭐 어깨/가슴을 조금 노출하면 하나도 야하다고 생각안하는데 우리는 대부분 치마길이 좀 더 길어요. 한국은 반대로 생각하는 거고. 진짜 평생동안 겨울에 미니스커트 입는 걸 한국에서 처음 봤어요. 상상도 못 했던일었죠.

Ah, the shoulders. The racy, exposed shoulder is one thing that Koreans have traditionally worried quite a bit about, and still make a good bit of fashion effort to cover up, or at least be modest about. Of course, many Koreans think Americans are the wild and crazy dressers, and most specifically, dress very “sexy” — but I think that’s the result of the Hollywood image of America. Only in fantasyland can there be a group of like 8 “Friends” who don’t have a single person of color in the mix in NEW YORK CITY, or can “Sex and the City” even seem like its even physically possible to keep up. But skirts and hemlines in general are generally higher here, and the first time in my life I’d ever seen a micro-mini skirt in the dead of winter was in Korea. Such a thing was scarcely imaginable before coming to Korea.

IMG_7098 copy

이 걸 처음 봤어요. 밑에서 나오는 어깨커버? 와우. 한국에서는 특히 원피스를 입는 경우에 이런 것들이 흔한 거예요.

This was the first time I’d seen anything like this: a shoulder cover coming from under the dress. Such ideas are fairly common in a lot of women’s fashion here, and is an imperative on many dresses.

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)

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)
