"Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythym depend on simplicity."- Plato
Time to jet from the runways of Dubai with its beautiful architecture to the pretty cool country of Korea! =]
Now, I love Korean fashion. It's not as wild and out there as Japanese fashion, but I still adore how cute it is. It's also fit for different seasons and can still be style and created to suit the individual's needs as well. I would say, in my eyes, it's a bit more organized and tailored, hahaha! XD
Going off tangent a little bit here, I have to say that I am in love with the cute little Korean characters such (like Blue Bear) and a bunch of others. I just think they're so totally adorable, and I wish there were more Asian stores around, so that I could actually buy some of the material. Buuuut, there isn't, so bah to that one. Ha ha ha!
But, on a serious note, in my opinion, Korean streets fashion is a bit more clean-cut than Japanese fashion. While Japanese fashion to focus on layering, color, visual appeal, and creativity, Korea's is a bit more "catalogue-esque." But, it is still very adorable and very SIMPLE. That goes to show you that simple can look great as well and that you don't really need alot to look great =]
Here are a couple of photos of current Korean fashion:
See what I mean? Straight from a catalogue. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the fashion style there at all, but it's just not something I would wear every single day. Like mini-dresses and boots and such. I would have to put more of an edgy and colorful spin on the outfit, ha ha ha! But, I still really like their trends and whatnot.
In the next post we will still be located in the beautiful Korea, but i'm going to focus more on the cartoonish aspects of the country, which should be very cute and fun!! :D I cannot wait! =]

There's two Asian stores side by side, owned by a young woman in Princeton on Nassau Street. She wanted to start an import business and the 1st one worked out well, so she started a clothing store next door. I wish I could remember the name, it was something like 'Kio'.
ReplyDeleteThe stores are filled to the rafters with the cutest styles you ever saw. I like the prices, and have never seen anything like the styles in the store before. The cut of the clothing was different. She even had clothing that made the color gray looked great because of the printing on the fabric.
That's so awesome! I love Asian fashion sooo much! :D
