Street Styles: Korean Animal Hats

지하철에서 사촌동생과 언니를 우연히 만났는데 딱 찍고 싶었던 니트모자와 동물모자를 쓰고 있었네요. 참 오래된 모자, 니트 유행들이 만난 건데 이번 시즌의 비그 트렌드는 동물 모자예요.

I was in the subway when I met this pair of cousins wearing just the hats I wanted to take pictures of for this season – a knit cap and the ubiquitous animal hat that is so widespread this year. In the first, you have the knit and beret hats coming together around knit caps, which have always been in style, but the animal hats really found a nice for themselves this winter in particular.

물론 이반에만 동물모자가 처음으로 나온 거아닌데 파리바게트의 ‘곰모자‘광고 때문에 많이 인기좋아진 거예요.

Of course, this season the bear hat rose to popularity with Paris Baguette’s “free” hat-and-paw set that came with every purchase of a Christmas cake. The commercial was a hit and that hat/paw combo impossible to get. It was like trying to find the Holy Grail.

알았어. 인정할게요. 모자는 귀엽기 한데. 그리고 밑에 사진에 그 모자를 실제로 쓰는 모습은 귀여운 거네요.

OK. I admit it. Those hats are kind of cute. And in the picture below, it looks good on her. Fine.

동물세상의 침약인가? 우리 아이들을 먹고 있어! 도와주세요! 헬프! ㅋㅋ

Is it an animal invasion? They’re eating our children! Help! God save us all! Hehe.

Street Styles: Simple Elegance

홍대에서 만난 20 초반. 강북의 힙한 곳에서 자주 있는 스타일이죠.지난 겨울부터 등장하기 시작한 스타킹은 이제는 어디서든 머스트 아이템인듯. 머플러와 스팽글 핸드백으로 포인트를 심플하면서도 지극히 여성스러운 엘레강스 스타일.

The woman we bumped into in Hongdae is typical of a lot of women in their 20’s you’ll find in the hipper areas of northern Seoul: a simple and very feminine outfit, with a feeling of “elegance” added by the fur muffler on the coat, and accented by the shiny stockings that have been really in since last winter, but have become almost de rigueur for women wanting to add a bit of spunk to their look. Her cute black bag is also spark-spangled, another accent to match her tights.

삼청동에서는 진짜 재밌는 가게, 길, 그리고 사람들이 많아요. 쉽게 얘기하면 개성이 많다고 할 수 있는 거예요. 어떤 일요일 오후에 이 흥미로운 자전거를 타고다니는 친절한 아저씨를 만나게 됐어요.

In Samcheong-dong, one can find some of the most interesting shops, streets, as well as people in Seoul. We bumped into this really friendly biker on a Sunday afternoon wandering the streets there.

재밌는 포인트는? 안경과 버튼이지! 역시 이 친구는 대표적인 삼청동 인물이었네요.

And the points I liked the most? Why, the glasses and buttons, of course! He was definitely a man of the Samcheong-dong streets and one cool cat.

이번 시즌에 파리바게트의 해준 곰모자는 인기있었고 사실 동물모자들이 다 인기 있었죠. 근데 파리바게트의 이나영이랑 만든 광고 때문에 커플들이 곰모자를 갖고 싶었던 거죠. 위에 커플은 멋지고 재밌게 그 모자를 쓰는 거죠. 그리고 크리스마스 케익, 또 사탕을 갖고 다니는 거였네요. 진짜 탈콤한 크리스마스 보냈나봐요!

This Christmas season, the must-have item is the bear hat, courtesy of Paris Baguette. And if you are a couple, a matching pair is the way to go. This couple is the quintessential Seoul Christmas couple, since they’re not only rocking the hats, but have a Christmas cake in tow, as well as a little bit of candy, a lollipop that looks freshly picked from a Dr. Seuss Christmas tree. All items, it appears, that you can find in the original commercial.

이나영씨는 사실 좀…웬지 나한테 무섭지만 성격/표정은 좀 엽기적이라서 재밌네요. 근데 이나영의 눈빛은 너무 무섭지 않아요? 나…실제로 이나영씨는 그렇게 광고에서 나온 것처럼 나를 놀래게 하면 나도 기절할 건데 곰모자때문에 아닐 거예요. 이나영의 눈빛 때문에. 나 왜 이렇게 겁나지? ㅋㅋㅋ 일단 메리 크리스마스!

Actually, Lee Na-young kind of scares me. It’s the eyes, man – the eyes! A lot of Koreans are afraid of cats, right? They say it’s the eyes. Well, I’m afraid of Lee Na-young. But she does a great job in this commercial, with her comically flexible face and cutesy poses. Perfect for this kind of commercial. But if Lee Na-young snuck up behind me on Christmas, I’d certainly faint just like they did in the commercial, but it wouldn’t be because of the hat; it’s the eyes, the eyes!!! Anyway – all kidding aside, Merry Christmas to all!

길거리 초상사진을 찍기는 어쩔 때는 너무 어렵고 가끔씩 생각보다 쉬운 일이예요. 인사동에서 하루종일 촬영하고 있었는데 너무 피곤해서 간식을 먹으러 어디 크라운베커리에 들어갔는데 이 언니가 네 눈에 확 띈 거예요. 근데 사실 너무 피곤하니까 더이상 찍고 싶지 않았고 남한테 또 가서 막 말을 걸고 싶지 않았거든요. 앉았는데 너무 후회할가봐 우리 같이 다녔던 2명한테 그냥 ‘내가 할께요. 쉬세요’라고 나갔어요. 그녀는 너무 멋진 느낌이 나니까 그냥 피곤해서 안 물어보면 진짜 후회할 것같았어요. 그리고 그 언니는 너무 자신있게 천천히 혼자서 걷고 있었으니까 그리고 왠지 우와한 분위기라서 거절할 것같았어요. 그래도 갔어요. 창피해도 물어보기로 결정한 거예요.

Street portraiture is sometimes incredibly hard, sometimes surprisingly easy. After a long trip through Insadong, we had actually finished and sat down for a snack when I saw the perfect subject: stylish, in mode, and yet distinctively Korean. Black-and-white can often be boring, but she made it interesting. And she had a look that said, “I’m fly and I know it,” but I’ve learned to ask for the picture, even if I feel rejection is certain. And sometimes, I get lucky.

IMG_7436 copyIMG_7448 copy

근데 허락해졌네요. 미국에서는 속담이 있는데: “물어보는 게 죄이냐?” 진짜 좋아하는 말이예요. 어렸을 때부터 계속 들었으니까 많은 작은 성공을 이루어진 거예요. 사실 눈에 띈 건 옷만아니라 이 언니의 태도, 자신 있게 걷는 스타일, 그리고 케익박스 2개 들고 다니는 것. 그리고 그 날에 떨어진 노란색 나무입때문에도 꼭 찍고 싶었어요. 아직도 안사동의 그쪽에 사진을 안찍었거든요. 너무 좋은 기회였어요.

What originally caught my eye was not just the clothes, but the cake boxes, her walk, her attitude. And loved the shoes. That section of Myeongdong was also covered in freshly-fallen leaves, so it seemed a perfect place to shoot, especially with this woman who seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.

IMG_7433 copy

조금 얘기해보니까 이 언니는 스타일리스트래요. 그리고 스타일리쉬이고요. ㅋㅋ 물론 유행을 탔는데 - 빤짝빤짝하는 스토킹, 밑에 빨간색 루뷔땡같은 구두, 그런 것들 - 그래도 자기 스타일이 된 느낌이 난 거예요. 사실 자세히 설명하려고 해도 꼭 한 이유때문에 이 룩을 기록하고 싶은 것아니였어요. 근데 그런 경우에서는 그냥 예감을 따라하는 것 좋은 선택인 거예요.

It turns out that she’s a stylist, as well as styl-ish. Since I photograph on the street, and am speaking with people I don’t at all know, of course I find it difficult to approach some people, especially those who look at first glance like they’re surely not going to pose for a picture. The best rule I’ve ever heard relevant to this situation is, “It can’t hurt to ask.” Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised.

IMG_7451 copy

이 언니는 패션을 따라하는 느낌이 아니고 요새의 여러 유행/트렌드의 요소들로 구성하는 자기 자연스러운 스타일을 만든 거예요. 그녀의 개성, 자신감, 그리고 섹시함을 느낄 수 있었기 때문에 성공적으로 한마디없더라도 그 사람의 분위기를 딱 느껴진 거예요. 그렇게 자기 개성에서 자기 스타일을 만들 수 있다면 그 건 바로 멋있는 ‘스타일’아닌가?

These shoes are red on the bottoms, but not Louboutin. Domestic brands have picked up the signature red bottoms and one can find them pretty often these days on the more sharply-dressed. What I like about her style is the fact that it’s trendy, but not common – there’s something about the way she wears it that exudes personality, confidence, and a certain amount of sexiness that adds up to style, baby, style. And that’s what fashion’s all about.

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)
