fashion is fetish is fabulous is fun is fantastic!

Archive for the ‘Street Runway’ Category


Fabulous Fashionistas” 컬럼에서는 서울의 뛰어난 멋쟁이들을 소개해 드립니다. 여기서 “멋”이란 어떠한 유행을 의미하는 것이나 비싼 명품 아이템을 자랑스럽게 가지고 있는 것을 의미하는 것이 아닙니다. 자기 자신의 패션 스타일을 특별히 잘 보여주는 사람, 창조적인 코디로 눈에 확 띄는 사람, 그런 분들을 이 컬럼에서 만나보실 수 있습니다.

In the Fabulous Fashionistas column, we shoot the most fashionably original people we can find on the streets of Seoul and bring them to you. We don’t choose them because they follow the trends the most closely, nor because they have the most designers labels attached to their bodies, but because they’ve managed to create their own unique style that one can’t simply pass by without wanting to remember.

이번에 우리 압구정에 갔는데 길거리에서 이 젊은 멋쟁이 3명을 만나게 됐고 너무 쿨, 캐주얼 스트리트 패션을 대표한 거예요. 윈쪽부터는 대표적인 정장캐쥬얼, 평범캐주얼, 스포티캐쥬얼의 느낌을 딱 잡은 것같아요.

We traveled this time to Apkujeong, where we bumped into three freshly-dressed young ladies who seemed to embody cool, casual street fashion. I guess one could say, looking from left to right, that they were dress, relaxed, and sporty casual.

안경의 프레임을 너무 좋더라

Loved the frames on the girl on the right!

그리고
여기는 몇가지 다른 소품컷…And here are a few more detail shots of some parts you might not have caught so well…

그리고 제일 재밌는 건 신발들도 분위기 ㄸK라서 코디 잘한 거예요. 특히 오른쪽의 아디다스식 슬리퍼를 좋아했다!

And their interesting shoes, which embodied the same dress, everyday, and sporty casual styles well. The Adidas (real, or no?) slippers are definitely different, and kinda rocked!

그리고 마지막으로 그냐 예쁜 얼짱 사진을 올린 거예요. 기쁠 것같아서요. ㅋㅋ 물어보니까 이 멋쟁이 언니들이 다 대학교 1학년이고 다 모델링 전공을 하고 있대요. 역시, 우리 눈이 정확한 것같네. 키는 다 174cm부터 177까지이고 성격도 아주 활발하네!

And finally, a vanity shot of our three young models, who, when asked a bit about who they are and what they did, told us were first-years in college and majoring in modeling. Well, they had the height (from 174-177 cm) and the chutzpah to do well, we think.

모델링 일에 행운을 빌께요. 화이팅!
Good luck to these three ladies – we wish them well!

Street Photography, Mansei!

! 걸렸어! 그렇게 처다보면 안되는데! ㅋㅋㅋ

이런 street photography 재밌지 않아요? 요즘에 서울은 1950년때 파리만큼 아주 우와하고 찍을 만한 곳이야. 길거리에서 여러가지 재밌는 요소들이 많아서. 사람들이 그 사실을 좀더 감상했으면 좋겠는데. 아직도 진짜 스트리트 사진작가들이 살고 있다는 것.

Gotcha! Caught ya looking, you dirty bird!

These days, Korea is a street and fashion photo heaven, as lively and interesting as Paris in the 1950’s. I wish people would appreciate the art of the real street photographer more here in Korea.

There really is a lot of beauty in the streets.

1 toe logic

Jul 20, 2007 Author: MissKoco | Filed under: Street Runway, Trends

Why do some women only paint the big toe? I never saw this trend until I came to Korea, so I asked around. Here are some of the answers:

The big toe is big.

You don’t really see the toes.

It’s an older style.

It’s better than nothing.

Walking around Hyehwa this past weekend I saw lots of one toe examples - on young women.

Img 7559 Copy

Many used bright colors or even neon polish, and they wore shoes that showed all of their toes… and that only brought MORE attention to their ONE toe. I still don’t quite understand this trend, so feel free to add your suggestions as to why women do this in the comments.

The New Style

Jul 19, 2007 Author: FMS | Filed under: Street Runway, Trends

이런 캐쥬얼 웨지를 너무 많이 보는 거예요. 유행이네!

Img 4561 Copy-1

처음에 2주일전 압구정에서 봤는데 역시 어제는 4 봤네요. 진짜 공식 유행! 그런 신발을 좋아한다면ㅋㅋ

Untitled-1 Copy-1

I saw these casual wedges a couple weeks ago in Apkujeong, but then saw something similar 4 times yesterday. I’d say that makes them pretty good candidates for being called an official trend. If you’re into this sort of style, that is.

포카혼타스 납치사건

Fashion Police Metal-3

어머머머
자기 개성을 표현하는 패션 너무 좋아하거든요? 근데 언니! 포카혼타스의 버린 해수욕장 슬리퍼를 왜 갖고 있나? 포카혼타스 언니랑 어떠게 했지? 고백해! 어디냐고~오?! 신고한다! ㅋㅋㅋ

Img 5386 Copy

I’m calling the police. Where is Pocohontas and why do you have her beach slippers?! What have you done with her? We…want…answers!

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)
