fashion is fetish is fabulous is fun is fantastic!

From JOINS comes a story about better foot covers for those of you who want to wear certain sandals or pumps with the convenience of stockings, without letting the covers show, which they often tend to do - and they look, well, tacky. A solution:

 Component Htmlphoto Mmdata 200707 Htm 2007072620135950005500-001샌들을 자주 신는 여름에 여성들의 발은 고생스럽다. 스타킹을 신으나 신지 않으나 마찬가지다. 스타킹을 신으면 발가락 부분의 마감선이 드러나 샌들의 시원하고 깔끔한 스타일을 망친다. 뿐만 아니라 매끄러운 소재 때문에 앞뒤가 트인 신발을 신으면 발이 미끄러져 걷기 힘들다. 그래서 발에 땀이 차고 굳은살이 생기는 것을 감수하면서 ‘맨발’ 패션을 고집하는 경우가 많다.

이런 고민을 해결해 준 제품이 바로 덧신이다. 발 전체를 낮게 감싸는 덧신은 구두 속에 감춰져 맨발인 것처럼 눈속임을 해 준다. 앞뒤가 막힌 구두에 신으면 알맞다. 2002년 국내에 처음 소개된 이후 여름철 여성들의 필수품이 됐다. 땀을 흡수하고 발을 보호해 준다. 백화점에서는 한 족에 1만원 선, 재래시장에선 3족에 5000원쯤에 판다.

Better ones are available from your local department stores, and can give you the look of “bare” without the wear on your feet.

Street Styles: Beach Ready

Aug 4, 2007 Author: FMS | Filed under: Hyehwa, Seoul Fashion Report, Street Styles

“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.

우리길거리 스타일컬럼은 개인의 패션 선택만 벤치마킁하는 것아니라, 찰라리 대표적인 길거리에서 보일 있는 패션 장르를 잡으려고 해요.

We ran across this young lady in Daehakno (Hyehwa) who looked ready to jump a train to the East Sea and hit the beach. Of course, she wasn’t, but she is typical of younger women these days, who no longer feel sheepish about exposing the shoulders (a huge no-no until very recently), let alone let so much of her back show.

언니는 대학로에서 만나게 됐는데 정말 동해에 있는 해수욕장으로 기차를 타려고 한 것같았어요. 물론아니었고 그냥 많은 요즘 젊은 아가씨처럼 어깨를 꼭 가려야하거나 등을 노출하면 안되단 개념에서 벗어난 것같아요.

She was already sporting some pretty short shorts, along with the aviator sunglasses and “worn” Von Dutch hat that is a de rigueur part of the cool-yet-casual style.

아주 짧은 반바지, 그리고 조종사용 써글라스와 Von Dutch 모자도 쓰고, 진짜 화려한 멋쟁이처럼.

One might have expected, before this summer, to see such revealing styles only in and around Apkujeong, or at least safely below the Han River. Or perhaps in some of the more risqué, lower-middle class “Jersey-ish” areas of the city, such as Dongdaemun or Shillim-dong. Notions about what is OK to expose are definitely changing, and are heading in the direction of showing more, not less.

And in Korea, since the average skirt length has always been a bit high, there’s not very much left to reveal anymore.

원래 압구정동, 아니면 강남에서만 이런 화려한 옷을 보일 수 있었는데…아니면 미국의 뉴저지주처럼 노동자 계급 패션이 많이 나타나는 데(동대문이나 신림동)에서만 주로 보인 것같은데. 근데 요즘에는 그런 정한 한계들이 빨리 변하고 있고 어디서나 한국여성패션은 좀 화려하게 되고 있고 자기 표현을 할 수 있게 되는 거예요.

아마 이런식으로 계속 노출하게 되면은 더이상은 노출할 부분이 없을 텐데! ㅋㅋㅋ 하야튼, 언니 - 멋지다! 대게 쿨하게 나오신 것 같아요!

“Rainy Season”

Share This! 퍼주세요!!!

여기 이번 달 새로 시작하는 드라마 “아이 엠 샘” 주역들이 다 모였는데요! 재미있는 인기 배우들이 많이 모여서 기대가 되지만, 도저히 용납할 수 없는게 하나 있네요!

도대체 왜 좋은 신체조건을 보완할 생각은 하지 않고, 오히려 악화시키는거죠?이봐요, 라이언 군, 왜 그랬어요? 코디가 입혀준 거에요? 그 박스 민소매 티는 왜 입어서 키도 작아 보이고 숏다리처럼 보이게 한거에요? 얼굴을 너무 믿었던 건지, 아니면 자신의 긴 다리는 뭘 입어도 길어보인다 라는 자신감인건지-_-

 (사실 포즈가 더 패션을 악화시키는군요 -너무 딱딱해요~)

쪼끔 더 나아 보이는 가수 빅뱅의 TOP 군! 그대도 만만치 않은 거인 사이즈의 셔츠를 입어서 숏다리 처럼 보입니다~ 다만 아주 “쪼끔” 더 낫다고 하는 이유는 까만 자켓의 단추를 닫아서 허리가 어디있는지를 보여주어서 입니다! 단추마저 안했다면, 헐렁한 아버지 양복, 아버지 와이셔츠 빌려 입고 온 느낌이 났을 거에요 ㅋㅋ

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)
