Cool Tees and Sneaks

May 7, 2007 Author: FMS | Filed under: Multimedia, Street Runway, Trends

한국에서는 봄은 이렇게 금방 가나? 벌써 에이콘을 쓰고 있네요. 흐흐
근데 패션쪽에 재밌는 트렌드들이 일어나고 있으니까 볼거리 많고 얼마나 더운지 잠깐 생각 안하게 될 수 있잖아요. (특히 에어콘 틀어놓고 있으면….ㅋㅋ)

멋진 t-shirt들이 많이 보일 수 있는 만큼 converse sneakers도 신고 다니는데. 그리고 남자는 Vans신고 다니는 거아닌가요? Converse하고 ㄸKㄱ 어울리는 건데…

문화일보 의하면:


스포츠브랜드들이 상황에 따라 그때그때 변형해서 입거나 신을 수 있는 기능성 튜닝옷과 튜닝 신발 을 잇달아 시장에 내놓고 있다.

한편 스포츠브랜드 컨버스는 전국을 돌며움직이는 컨버스 튜닝하우스 가동하고 있다. 봄시즌에는 ·고등학교, 대학캠퍼스 등을 찾았다. ‘움직이는 튜닝하우스에서는 패션 튜닝 전문가가 고객들이 원하는 스타일로 신발을 튜닝해준다. 원하는 사람들이 트럭에 준비된 도구들로 직접 컨버스화를 만들어 수도 있다.

FMS 벌써 튜닝에 대해 포스트를 올렸는데. 재밌는 비디오 보여줄까요?

Paris Fashion Week 2006 Highlights

Nov 13, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Fashion in Focus, Multimedia, Trends

Short skirts, ruffles, and simple looks seem to be the dominant themes this season. What does this mean to Seoulites? Overall, not too many drastic changes from last year. But here are some things to watch out for…

2006년 파리 패션쇼의 highlights인데 이번 봄에 뭐가 나올까요? 큰 면함이 있을까요? 지난 봄처럼 단순한 스타일과 짧은치마, 러플은 많이 보일 수 있는데 나중에 더 자세히 말려드릴께요. 더 많은 비디오 보여주면서.

More skirt suits, small one-piece dresses with ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, as well as…snakes? Last summer brought us Snakes on a Plane, so this spring, we’re getting “snakes on a runway.” Yes, keep your eye out for snakes patterns and snakeskin (faux or not) materials.

Watch out for a lot of white (the frilly and innocent look), as well as black-and-white in general, checkered patterns, and all kinds of combinations.

프릴이든..청순한 이미지든.. 화이트도 지나친 사용은 금물! 블랙 앤 화이트나..체크무늬등과 마찮가지로…

다음 씨즌에도 여전히…스키니랑 짧은 스커트는 꾸준히 계속될것 같죠? 메탈릭 소품들과 마찮가지로 말예여.. 요즘 확실히 느껴지는 메탈릭, 뱀피, 호피의 바람을 서울의 거리에서 쭈욱~ 좀더 느낄 수 있을거에요. (Thanks, Daeso – 이부분을 번역 도와줘서…)

Skinny pants and short skirts aren’t going anywhere – they’re here for the next season as well – as are gold and metallic purses, prints, and other materials. We’ll definitely see more of these on the streets of Seoul (metallic, reptilian, and other animal patterns are clearly all the rage this season).

Also, keep your eyes open for jackets worn as dresses, cinched waists, and more higher heels.

Korea Meets the “Killer Heel”

Oct 29, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Multimedia, Shoe History, Trends

인제서야 한국은 “killer heel”이란 말이 유행 됐네요. 근데 이 블로그에서는 맨날 쓰인 용어인데 - 여기, 여기, 여기, 여기, 여기 보세요. 휴. 그래. 앞으로 뭐를 알고 싶으면 그냥 오면 된다는 걸 아시죠? 아시겠죠? ㅋㅋ

Killer Heels-1

멋지죠? You ready for your pair of killer heels yet? You haven’t bought a pair for the wife or girlfriend? What are you waiting for for? Why not? Have you gone mad, man?

You benefit just as much as her! It’s like her buying you an Xbox 360. Well, not really. Umm. Let’s move on.

Achilles Killer Heel-1 사실 f|m|s는 여러 신발의 뉴스 원본을 잘보고 있으니까 다른 곳 가지말고 자주 여기로 오세요. 더 좋고 재밌는 shoe news에 관한 web site혹시 아세요? 있다면 우리 그냥 링크하면 우리 가족들으로 환영할께요.

그렇게 해서 바로 우리 사이트의 정보가 되는 거예요. 경쟁하는식으로 하는게 아니라 우리 모든 신발의 대한 콘텐츠의 master가 되려고 하는 거죠. 바로 우리 힘이죠.

[마케팅 Inside] 하이힐,‘킬러힐’ 여자의 자존심을 높이다

“지난 1967년 우리나라 역사에 길이 남을 초대형 노출사건이 발생한다. 이른바 ‘윤복희 미니스커트 사건’이다. 당시 가수 윤복희는 외국에 나갔다가 미니스커트를 입고 귀국했다. 미니스커트가 김포공항을 통해 국내 첫선을 보이는 극적인 순간이었다. 이후 윤복희의 미니스커트는 커다란 사회적 파장을 불러일으켰다. 어르신들은 TV를 보며 손가락질했고 윤복희는 계란세례를 받기도 했지만 얼마 후 이 미니스커트는 서울의 명동거리를 휩쓸기 시작했다. 전국 방방곡곡의 젊은 여성들 역시 윤복희 미니스커트를 입었고 의류업자들은 때 아닌 대호황에 표정관리를 해야 했다…”

아니면 이 기사를 읽어요.

[마켓&트렌드] 보기만 해도 아찔 ‘킬러 힐’

“요즘 거리에선 발목이 꺾일 것 같은 하이힐을 신은 여성들을 쉽게 볼 수 있습니다.

올 가을, 겨울 구두 트렌드가 10cm를 훌쩍 넘기는 하이힐이기 때문인데요.

보기에도 아찔한 이 하이힐들은 소위 ‘킬러 힐’로 불리면서 젊은 여성들 사이에서 인기입니다…”

Let’s go our and get some “killer heels!” But be careful. Make sure your wife – or you – knows how to walk in them. Girls – seriously – practice before you decide to go running a marathon in them.

언니들 - 대회하기 전에 빨리 걷기 연습하시죠?! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Korean Group See Ya Sings “구두” (High Heels)

Sep 11, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Multimedia, Racy

As a good student of signification and symbology back when I was taking classes in school and first starting to think about design, I was taken pleasantly aback at how obvious the connections were being made between the fetishized foot and heel, the woman’s body as a sexualized object, and even near-rape and prostitution in this video.
Here’s the full video, which is followed by a link to a Korean television concert version right below (just click on the screen), which has the lyrics on the screen, and about which I’ll briefly also talk below. For non-Korean speakers, you might want to read through this entire post before watching the first video.

What you will notice in the video are some pretty fetishy shots that are standard fare on the so-called “fetish” sites. I guess “fetish” is just a matter of how much you admit you’re looking.

YouTube Preview Image

Don’t even get me started on the phallic imagery of the lipstick or her man being impaled by other, more powerful men after she is sexually harassed. There’s also the footsie (and the foot) under that table that initiates her sexual laiason with her man, and signals her end after she has basically decided to kill herself by walking in front of the car – the camera lingers on her dead foot and red high heel that had been knocked off in the impact.

This video’s use of the foot and shoe – along with the lyrics and concept itself – is the very definition of “fetish” as a metonymic symbol of sexuality and desire. If you say this isn’t about “fetish,” then I guess you’ll just have to change the definition of the word. Sorry – I work in the fashion and design field; this is the way we think, is what I do. It’s also what effective video directors and songwriters do, too, so don’t make too short shrift of my insights, OK, girlfriends?

Here’s one of their television performances, where the content of the lyrics is almost as surprisingly entertaining as their complete inability to sing – intonation, anyone? Wow.

YouTube Preview Image

You get the gist of it as the group’s rising, swelling lyrics talk about trying to seduce a man by “putting on my makeup thickly, wearing high heels” in the hopes to make the man notice/come to her, followed up by “putting on my makeup even thicker” and “wearing even higher heels” to hold his attentions. The high wail on which the song ends is of one of the singers yelling, “Wearing even higher heels…!”

Maybe they should spend more effort of singing instruction and practice than worrying about the heels and makeup.

Lee Hyori’s Foot

Sep 11, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Multimedia

The foot is definitely a central object of beauty in Korea, from the time it was a fetish object, peeking out as white, upturned socks beaneath the hanbok, to the present-day obsession with the miniskirt and nearly-naked shoe fashion.

Apparently, it’s ok to compliment the nation’s erstwhile most famous superstar on national television about her beautiful set of tootsies as well.

YouTube Preview Image

When you add in the fact that so much of Korean adult sites have to do with leg and feet play, or a perusal of the adult video offerings in a given video store will yield a surprising amount of stuff related to the same, this video should come as no surprise.

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)
