Seoul Fashion Week A/W 2010

has already started. Crossing my fingers that I can make it to at least one show.
Bugger to all these tests.

Seoul Fashion Week Recap: Part 2

On Friday I saw the Gissen show and on the following day I saw the Enzuvan (by Kwak Hyun Joo) Spring/Summer '09 collection.
"A walk in the woods" is how I would describe the collection. I loved the floppy hats and sequined caps. The clothes also looked totally comfortable, I'd just walk off the runway wearing them.
Wuh? No more pictures?!!! Let's just say that I gave up taking live shots due to my lousy camera. The other pics are from the Seoul Collection site. Below: coffee before the show.
This time I made sure to get there really early and I got a third row seat (yesterday I had to stand because I got there too late), so yeah! You're probably curious to know what I ended up wearing to the show. The weekend before I bought a pair of cheap, navy blue jeans and I ripped them up to get the "Martin Margiela" effect. But as you can see, I wanted to cut them up differently and not just slash away. So I did a sort of geometrical descending triangle pattern. Ah, and I paired them with my black Walkers, blue blazer and black turtleneck. My dad still asked me why my pants were ripped though. I told him it was all fashion, dad. He totally smiled.

Seoul Fashion Week Recap: Part 1

If you were in Korea last October and had even the slightest interest in fashion, you would have probably noticed that Oct. 18th-25th was the week where Seoul designers showed off their Spring/Summer masterpieces. I managed to squeeze in two shows during my test week which I mentioned earlier to you guys, the Enzuvan (by Kwak Hyun Joo) show on Saturday and the Gissen (by Hong Eun J00) show on Friday. I snapped a few shots with my ever so dodgy camera. I love the excitement, the ambient lights and fervor that surrounds the room right before the first model steps onto the catwalk! The Gissen models strutted themselves pumping to Gwen Stefani's "Wind it Up". The clothes were pretty fabulous, I was really into the electric blue pleather leggings which was surprising because you know how I feel about footless tights...Here are a few pics from the Seoul Collection site, it's a pity that they didn't feature the whole show hence you're probably not going to understand why I felt that the collection was giving off a lot space-alien vibes with all the metallics and shiny-ness and so forth.I planned my outfit carefully for attending the show. Too bad I didn't take any pictures of myself ( I don't have a photographer or a tripod). So, I'll just have to describe what I wore to Friday's show: black beanie, black tank top, black blazer, black jeans and...

p.s A shoe tidbit for Hiromix: I wore my brown, suede Go.Cee boots on Friday and my black Walkers on Saturday.

Check out the round up this season

Why is it that Fashion Week always coincides with my test week every (twice a) year??!!! I'm trying to figure out when I can squeeze the time for study and choosing the right shows I want to go to....my head is splitting. Help.
