From the Maeil Kyeongje (via Yonhap), a summary of a New York Times article:

미국의 신발업자가 사람들로 붐비는 나이트클럽 안에 신발가게를 열고 앞으로 미국 전역에서 이같은 사업을 전개하겠다고 밝혔다.

뉴욕에 있는백악관 나이트클럽 신발가게를 도드 샤피로 사장은 25일자 뉴욕 타임스와의 인터뷰에서 자신과 데이트를 하던 여성의 높은 신발굽이 부러지 것을 보고 사업 아이디어를 얻었다고 밝혔다.

샤피로 사장은 미국의 현충일(메모리얼 데이) 지난 5 28 개점한 이래 업이 순조로우며 최근 하루 저녁에는 28켤레를 팔기도 했다고 소개하고앞으로 이트클럽에서 술을 주문하는 대신에 신발을 주문할 있게 이라고 기염을 했다.

샤피로 사장은손님들이 새로 신발을 신고 바로 춤을 있도록 하기 신발 보관 서비스도 하고 있다 밝혔다.

WHEN she arrived at the White House Night Club here on a recent Saturday night, Danielle Bory was wearing lacy black stilettos. As she danced, her heels slipped on the wooden floor.

“I almost fell,” she said.

But the club, filled with 1,800 patrons, was hopping. The rapper Flavor Flav was onstage. Ms. Bory, 21, a student from North Babylon, wanted to keep dancing.

So she went shopping. At the Hampton Shoe Vixen, a women’s shoe store inside the club, she tried on a pair of flat silver metallic sandals.

“It’s a lot more comfortable,” Ms. Bory said, as she bought the $40 sandals and headed back onto the dance floor. “They have rubber soles on the bottom, so I should be fine.”

The 45,000-square-foot club, formerly the Canoe Place Inn, a nightspot on the Shinnecock Canal, dates to 1707 and was once a speakeasy. Recently renovated, it has three dance floors, including an outdoor patio where a reggae band often performs. The shops — the shoe store, a lingerie boutique and a novelty boutique stocked with fitted T-shirts, tank tops, lip balm, fragrances and condoms emblazoned with the club’s logo — opened on Memorial Day weekend.

“You can only take so much music and dancing,” said Vic Latino, 32, a co-owner of the club and a disc jockey on XM satellite radio. “We need to give people eye candy.”

Todd Shapiro, 42, the owner of the shoe boutique, an offshoot of the Hampton Shoe Vixen in East Quogue, came up with the idea for the store after going out with a woman who broke a stiletto heel.

“She said, ‘I have to go home,’ ” he recalled. “I said, ‘The date’s still young.’ ”

Mr. Shapiro, who also owns a Garden City-based public relations company, is hoping to open shoe stores in nightclubs nationwide.

This is a smart and sassy campaign being run by Samsung, which is promoting its new phone, aptly named the “Miniskirt Phone” because of its elimination of unnecessary lines and “cut down” form factor – the slim and trim shape is accentuated by the downward slide, which reminds one of a miniskirt.

From Gizmodo:

Samsung has announced the SCH-C220 which is also dubbed as the Anycall Mini skirt phone for the Korean market. The slider will be available in three colors - white, garnet red, and sapphire blue. The super slim phone is just 10.9mm thick as it adopts the latest fashion trend ‘minimalism’. The phone has a reflective mirror type coating design and like the chocolate phone features a touch pad on the front LCD screen. The C220 has built in GPS for viewing real time traffic information, the service is limited to Korea only. Other specs include a rather mediocre 2 Megapixel camera, MP3 player, Bluetooth and an electronic dictionary.

Saucy!

And in related news, but going slightly in the other direction, Gizmodiva gives us a miniskirt with a pocket for slipping in an iPod:

 Entry Images 0507 25 Skirt1

It’s nothing too ground-breaking to jump about….but you can definitely jump around with this pair of biker shorts underneath the skirt that have a hidden pocket for your iPod, cell phone or more. It also has a buttonhole just under the waistband so you can thread your headphone cord up and out.

A miniskirt with a pocket?! What will they think of next?

설마! 미니스커트가 전자재품을 위한 숨어있는 호주머니 있다고? (응!) 거기에 넣고 허리벨트 밑으로 헤드폰줄이 올라가는 거고. 아주 나이스다. 똑똑하지?

From Segye.com:

 Photo 2007 6 21 777777스타일리시한 여자는 하이힐을 신는다 2005 영국에서 출간된 이후 현재까지 미국, 프랑스, 이탈리아 등에 수출돼 세계 여성 독자들에게 스타일북의 정석으로 자리매김하고 있다. 패션 칼럼니스트인 저자는 진정한 스타일이란 단순히 옷차림이나 액세서리 등의 패션에 국한되지 않는다고 이야기한다. 요리, 집안일, 직장생활, 연애 사건, 여행법 여자의 24시간이 모두 스타일 자체라는 . 그래서 책에는 머리부터 발끝까지 스타일리시한 여자가 되기 위한 A부터 Z까지 모든 정보가 담겨 있다

…이제 트렌디한 옷차림만으로 사람의스타일 말하는 시대는 지났다. 개성과 커리어, 취향에서 나오는 센스와 그것을 표현하는 당당함을 일컬어 우리는스타일리시하다 말한다. 책은 기존 여성 잡지나 스타일 관련 책을 뛰어넘어 더욱 신선한 스타일에 목말라 있는 국내 여성 독자들을 만족시키는 권의 스타일 가이드북이 것이다.

동감이다. 근데 재목부터 잘 못 번역됐을까? “스타이리시한 여자는 하이힐을 신는다”고 하는 개념하고 거의 반대 의미잖아요. 원래 재목을 (How to Walk in High Heels) 좀더 자세히 번역하면 “하이힐을 신고 걷는 방법”으로 나와야 될 듯 싶어요.

왜 이렇게 자세히 따지냐면 누앙스 완전히 달라서요. 한국에서는 많은 여성들은 특별한 생각없이 막 유행을 따라하잖아요. 이번 시즌은 검정 양말이면 나 꼭 미니와 깜은 양말로. 아무리 내 다리, 모양, 스타일이랑 안 맞는데도. 그런 경우 많이 봤거든요. 이 책의 말하고 싶은 건 - 모든 여성들한테 - 자기 생활, 개성, 하고 싶은 표현에 따라서 스타일 만들라고.

예를들어서 이 책에서 Manolo Blahnik의 나온 말은”신발을 선택을 하는 방법”: 유행을 그냥 타지 말고 자기 개성에서 일어난 느낌대로 표현하도록 하고, 진짜 무슨 인스피레이셩을 주는 신발 찾아야 된대요. 유행들이 4개월씩 지나가버리니까 계속 유행을 따라하면 완전히 소비적인 노예뿐 되는 거죠. 그리고 꼭 멋진 것아니라고요. 그냥 대책없이 따라하는 그런 사람이 되는 거죠.

그래서 한글 재목을 보니까 딱 그 느낌이 된다: “따라해라.” 이렇게: “니가 스타일있다고 생각하면 이렇게 해야 된다.” 물론 한국에서 마케팅 한 거네요. 분명히 많은 이 책을 살 사람들이 “나 1, 2, 3, 4 하면 멋쟁이 될 수 있게 알려주는 법들을 배울 수 있다!”고 생각하는 거죠. 근데 그 건 이 책의 메세지아니예요. 역시. 마케팅.

우리가 fabulous 여성들을 좋아하는 거예요. 근데 다른 사람들의 기준으로 fabulous 것아니라 자기 기준, 개성, 취향을 따라서. 물론 우리 어느정도 유행을 따져야 하는데 그래도 유행을 보고 자기 맛(멋도!)도 추가해야 맛난 독특한 요리가 되는 거죠. 안 그러면 누구나 살 수 있는 맛이 똑같은 버거킹의 맛을 나는 거예요.

하지만 나의 반응은,

너무너무 귀여워~*^^*

역시 빨간색 하이힐은 모든이들의 로망인것인가?

번뜩 하고 지나가는 생각 하나!

저 섹시한 차에 번호판은 크리스탈로 만든 번호판을 힘부분에 달고

원더우먼이 망토를 휘날리며 차길을 질주하는 것!

새빨간 립스틱을 꺼내 화장을 고치느라 차가 좀 막혀서
뒷 차들이 빵빵거리면
진실의 올가미에 저 빨간 힐 자동차를 메고 날아가거나
아님 뒤차들을 힐로 찍어버리거나…ㅋㅋ

갑자기 이런 저런 상상을 하며 내 엽기성을 또 실감한다!

Wow. Who knew shoes were investments? From ReviewStar:

지난 6 9 중국 안휘성의 유명 보석상우후에서는 황금으로 만든 하이힐을 선보여 중국 세계 귀금속 관계자들의 주목을 받았다.

번에 공개된 황금으로 만든 하이힐은 무게 680g 순금으로 만든 것으로 빛에 따라 광채가 보는 이로 하여금 가슴이 벅차게 한다고. 황금으로 만든 하이힐은 이탈리아 출신의 디자이너가 우후사의 의뢰를 받아 직접 디자인을 것으로 세계 귀금속 회의에 전시가 예정이다.

In this photo released by China’s Xinhua news agency, a sales girl shows a pure golden high-heel shoe weighing 680 grams in a shopping street in Wuhu, east China’s Anhui Province, on Saturday June 9, 2007. (source)

Now, that’s a shoe you wouldn’t leave at the door of a kalbi restaurant. For you English readers, here’s where I got lots of pictures of these golden pieces of heaven.

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)
