fashion is fetish is fabulous is fun is fantastic!

From JOINS:

신혼의 단꿈에 빠진 신부 염정아가 파격적인 봉춤으로 탁재훈을 강력히 유혹했다.

염정아는 영화 생애 최악의 남자’(감독 손현희/제작 CK픽쳐스)에서 캣우먼을 연상시키는 검은 가죽 의상과 아찔한 하이힐, 섹시 망사 스타킹으로 무관심한 남편 탁재훈을 향해 섹시한 유혹의 댄스를 선보였다.

Actress Yeom Jeong-ah gets down and almost dirty in this trailer about a newlywed woman trying to seduce her unattentive husband. The JOINS article quotes her saying, “It was hard to keep up with the concept, which was dancing badly for several hours in high heels.” In the trailer, you’ll see the husband’s humorous and humiliating reaction.

It’s nice to see these high-concept commercials, which are funny, creative, and take a few risks, rather than just recycle stale ideas and old gags. For our favorite so far, click here.

실제로 현대무용을 배우 춤에는 일가견이 있는 염정아는 엉성하게 춤을 춰야 하는 콘셉트에하이힐을 신고 시간 동안 춤을 못추는 흉내를 내야 힘들었다 고백했다.

완벽한 호흡의 코믹 봉춤은 30 개봉되는 생애 최악의 남자에서 확인할 있다.

또 재밌는 ‘high concept’ 광고가 나온 거네요. 아주 웃기고 창조적이며 진부한 맨날 봤던 테마로 나온 거예요. 지끔까지 제일 사랑스럽게 보는 그런 하이컨셉 광고가 뭐냐 궁금하시면 클릭하시죠!

한국에서만 보일 있는 거네요. 언니들! 우리도 미니스커트 좋아하는데 그래도 언제 입는지 그 걸 좀 생각해봐야 되겠네요. 대부분 한국사람들이 미국을 보고 우리가 “야하다”고 “개방적이다”고 생각하는데 실제로 미국에 가본 사람들이 그 거 아닌 줄 알아요. 어디서나처럼 미국의 TV, 영화, 뮤직비디오들은 현실하고 틀리죠. 특히 보수적인 미국의 보통생활을 느껴보면 알 수 있어요. 교회, 결혼식, 캠퍼스, 그리고 공식 행사나 인터뷰할 때는 똥코치마는 절대로 안되는 거죠.

[From the
JoongAng Daily.]

미국에서 아에 없다는 거아닌데 그래도 보통 한국에 온 미국/캐나다/많은 유럽 남자끼리 얘기하면 딱 이 말이 나와요: “한국에서 다 이렇게 입어요?” 보통 “구경거리 많다”고 생각들하는데 그리고 그 사람 입장에서 보면 맞아요: 한국에서는 그런 그 패션/저 패션 언제언제 입는지 딱 구별하는 개념을 좀 떠러져요.

많이 놀랐던 한국에서 결혼식에 가면 너무 캐쥬얼하게 사람들이 많고. 대학교 강의실에 들어가는 여성들 보면 술집여자만큼 짧은 미니 입는 애들이 많아요. 아까 문장 때문에 기분 나쁘게 받아들일 있지만 나는 그런 생각이 솔직이 들어요. 아마 미국인이라서 보수적인 편인 줄아는데 대학교에서 하이힐과 미니스커트를 입는 데아니라고 생각해요.

유학으로 미국에 갔다온 한국여성한테 물으보면 그런패션 차이 대해서 얘기가 나올 있어요. 한국식으로 입고 개강 날에 강의에 다니러 가는데 화장품, 미니스커트, 높은 힐을 신고 들어가는데 애들이 처다봐요. 특히는 미국 학생 스타일은 대부분 아주 캐주얼하니까요. 텔레비젼이나 영화를 보지 말고 직접 한국에 와있는 캐나다/미국인 보면 있잖아요. 우리가 대부분 청바지/티셔츠를 많이 입는 문화이라서요.

미국식으로 하라 하는 의도로 얘기하는 거아니고 그냥 한국인한테 사실에 대해서 알리는 거예요. 한국사람들이 대부분 한국은보수적이라고 생각하는데 많은 서양인들이 반대로 생각하는 거예요. 우리 입장에서 그리고 우리의 아는 현실(매스콤에서 나오는 가실 말고)하고 비교하면 한국여성 패션은 아주 야하다고 생각합니다.

추운 겨울에 눈이 내려오면서 한국외에 미니스커트를 입고다니는 여자들을 길거리에서 보일 수 있는 나라가 어디 있어요? ㅋㅋㅋ 진짜 그 건 미국에서 보기 힘든 거예요.

Street Styles: Pretty Princess

Aug 12, 2007 Author: FMS | Filed under: Hongdae, Seoul Fashion Report, Street Styles

우리 “길거리 스타일” 컬럼은 개인의 패션 선택만 벤치마킁하는 것아니라, 찰라리 대표적인 길거리에서 보일 수 있는 패션 장르를 잡으려고 해요…

“Street Styles” tracks not just individual fashion choices, but tries to capture fashion that is representative of types of fashion genres visible on the Korean streets…

1998, “공주병 한국을 덮치고..

2007 공주 패션 서울 거리를 휩쓸다!

사실 공주병이 도진 이후로 매년 공주 치마, 샤랄라 블라우스들이 인기였었지만, 올해부터 왠지 이제는공주 패션 하나의 트렌드로 잡혀간다는 느낌이 드네요. 왜냐하면, 전에는 발목까지 오는 치렁치렁한 공주치마, 소매를 한껏 부풀린 블라우스들이 튀고 가식적이어 보였어요~ 근데 이제는 오히려 스타일이 다양해져서 길거리에서 봐도저건 샤랄라에 미치는 정도인데 공주 삘인가?” 정도로 자연스럽고 하나의 패션 스타일이 되고 있어요!

일명샤랄라 스타일!”

사실, 서울이 언제부터 패션 도시 였나요? 패션도시하면 밀라노, 파리, 런던, 도쿄 정도를 생각할 있었죠. 하지만 한국도 한번 패션리더 하겠어요샤랄라 패션때문에!!

한국 여자들은 무지하게 외모에 민감하고 꾸며대요. 이건 과장이 아니라 스무살이 되자마자 화장을 하고 패션에 눈을 뜨게 되요. 아마도 넓게 생각하자면 한국은 대학 시험이 무지하게 어려워서 보통은 십대말까지 외모보다 공부에 신경쓰고, 대학 가면 공부보단 외모에 쪼끔 신경쓰게 된답니다 ^^;;;

젊은 여자들의 폭발적으로 꾸미고 싶은 욕구가 공주 패션에 반영된거 같아요! 사실 한국 남자들은 대체로 치마 입고 여성스러운 여자들 좋아하는 경향이 있어요~ 20대에 들어서 새로 생긴 남친들에게 이쁨 받고 싶은 여자들, 당연히 공주 스타일 벌쯤은 갖고 있겠죠?! (사실, 저도 갖고 있어요..ㅋㅋ)

Cutesy Cpl

Seoul has not been a major center of fashion for very long, since Korea tends to follow, rather than lead, international fashion trends, and has been known to some pretty peculiar styles. So, there have always been uniquely Korean aspect clothing looks and styles, but only recently have they begun to gel with trends around the world, and in a timely fashion; now, instead of 2-3 years before looks become adopted to Korean tastes, major trends often reach Korea at the same time, or within a season or two.

One look that is truly Korean and truly interesting is the “pretty princess” look, marked by being more conservative hemlines and less revealing cuts, bows and ruffles, as well as flowery and other very feminine patterns. Over the last few years, this look has been expressed in 50’s-esque cute dresses or matching outfits, and is becoming a bit more 60’s “mod” in recent days.

커플에서 주목하실 분은 여자분의 공주스타일!

머리, , 가방, 신발까지 매치하느라 신경 많이 쓰셨네요! 거기다 머리도 아주 공주스타일에 맞춰서 뱅헤어에 차분한 생머리, 하지만 발랄하게 레이어가 많이 들어가 있구요. 색깔도 화이트 톤으로 맞추어서 훨씬더 성숙하고 느낌이 차분해요~ 하지만 치마 밑단의 주름과 짧은 길이, 밋밋해서 너무 심플해 보일수 있는 앞부분이 살짝 주름 져서 오히려 차분한 비지니스 우먼이 아니라 귀여운 대학생으로 보이게 해주는 센스!

Cutesy Cpl Bag

The look is still playful, so it is decidely not a “schoolmarm” look, but most aptly described as young and playful, usually with pastel colors or more aggressive patterns than an East Coast blueblood girl would bring in with a Laura Ashley dress – like most young women’s fashion in Korea, the hemline is higher, since the showing of more leg is associated with younger women in their 20’s, even though showing the arms and shoulders tends to be considered a bit “fresh” for Korea.

가방이랑 신발은 세트같을 정도로 매치가 잘되는걸요~ (정말 세트 아닌감?;) 슈즈도 완전 플랫도 아니고 하이힐도 아닌 적당한 굽이라서 아주아주 귀여워요. 가방은 조금 지나치게 포말해보일 수도 있지만 전체적으로 어울리네요.

공주 패션..예전엔 가식적이라고 생각했었는데 이제 저도 끌리는데요~트렌드는 무시할 없어ㅋㅋ

One codeword for Korean beauty these days is a Western sort of “sexy” that sees itself expressed in terms of hot pants or extreme miniskirts (and ironically, these seem to be worn far more frequently and are on average shorter than in average in the US, even as these styles are associated with America), but in Korea, there is also a dominant influence of “cute” or “princessy” that finds expression in terms of the look being featured here.

You may see something like this in the US as a Laura Ashley summer dress, but Americans would consider wearing such dresses only on more formal occasions, such as a family reunion, wedding, or a party; in Korea, the “pretty princess” look is much more everyday fare, and would be good for a weekend date with the boyfriend or pretty much any event that would require a bit more effort than usual to look pretty in front of others.

In that sense, such wear isn’t really considered “formal” or even American “semi-formal”, since such definitions lose their meaning a lot in the Korean context because 1) by American standards, Koreans are generally more formal dressers by default, and 2) there are many culturally specific occasions that require “formal” wear – such as a “meeting” or “group blind date” – which American students don’t engage in, and require clothing that Americans in a similar position might never wear; therefore, you won’t see 21-year-old American co-eds wearing expensive business attire, e.g. a silk blouse with sheer pencil skirt, and stiletto heels – whereas you see this quite often in Korea. It is not at all unusual, in fact, to see

그냥 대단! 이번 가을이 mod 스타일이 진짜 들어올 것같네! 한국의 패션은 드디어 좋아졌네! 정말 이번 F/W는 새로운 멋진 한국이 되는 것같아! 우 우 우! Diesel 패션쇼이지만 한국의 ready-to-wear/일반 옷이 세게적인 멋한테 영향을 미치면서도 자기 개성을 잡는 것같네.

이 한국의 패션 리더가 될 수 있는 첫 해는 Korean Fashion: Year Zero 라고 부를 거야! 한류가 커진 것처럼 한국 패션도! 대~한민국! 패션 화이팅!

I just wanted to point out how fly Korean fashion is getting, for the first time…umm…ever. For the first time I can remember, ready-to-wear and everyday street clothes in Korea are keeping up with international fashion trends even as there’s developed a unique Korean “look” that is worth paying attention to.

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)
