Yes, rain, sleet, or snow. Ramen for lunch in slippers. This is Korea.

Couture cute in Seoul. Phone, socks, and slippers.

The female office worker lunch look. Cute dress, Samdidas slippers.

Korean Samdidas Choos. THE choice of the streets.

Samdidas street model. Koreans love wearing socks and slippers. EVERYwhere.

The Korean Office: 8:36 AM. On the way in.

In my newly supercool neighborhood, a young office worker couple enjoys the "exotically" relaxing and open atmosphere of the foreigner-filled neighborhood. They said it's a welcome break from the packed venues in most places Koreans think to be cool.
feetmanseoul:
The utmost respect for a true diehard fashionista. Broken leg in a cast from a car accident or no, she was COMING to Fashion Week, DAMMIT. One fashion shoe with frilly sock and a cast and shit, for real. Look of the day, no joke! I did make her walk a bit

Throwback Saturday. My absolute favorite picture from SFW. Gender taboos have come a long way, baby. Traditionally, women are supposed to only smoke under a roof, not ever outside, out in public. This young lady in the picture IS ladies, nowadays. Not al

Spied this fashion point in another one of my Bruce Gilden meets Winogrand runs through the DDP complex. Interesting (and fun) to see a display of sexiness that used to be considered way too brazen for public consumption but is now part and parcel, for ma

Broken down into its constituent semiotic elements, this display of nationalism mixed with tradition to fill the public space of The Seoul City Hall space with as much sonic interference as possible was partially successful, yet extremely confused. Of pa

Kimberly Maria Buxton turns modernity and tradition topsy-turvy as this publicity photo for her graduation performance as the first non-"pure" Korean to receive an MFA in traditional Korean dance. As several cliched dualities collide, e.g. East meeting We

Office girl lets it all out after work in Myeongdong,2010.

On the way out of the office Friday at midnight, saw some detritus from the party people wash ashore at the front gate, where a drunk girl sat in the subzero cold, drunk and crying, calling her apparently EX-boyfriend. Ah, first world problems. Anyway, i

Tats are officially no longer a social no-no now in Korea. Especially taken to Seoyl Fashion Week street fashion runway-level.
feetmanseoul:
It's official. It's a THING. I saw the elevator opened, SHE entered. I wanted that thing on her head. It. Would. Be. Mine. Openly had one chance. I couldn't turn or even aim. I just turned the camera over behind my back and squeezed off three Hail Mary sh

Young lady has her fashion shit together. Wish I was able to pull off sartorial savior faire when I was 17. I was just trying to keep up, not beachhead of the game. And that's doubly hard assuming girl in Korea. In Korean high school!

As the first show begins the makeup room with the models for the next one has to turn off their lights. But the primping must go on.

Soju with lunch ain't no thang in Korea. Ajussis can get started early. I'm sure that's why these guys are so charming at home.

It's the smug assuredness of the out-of-control ajussi that ruins it for everyone.

The ajussi strut.

The ajussi tango.

Ok. Had to throw in a batch or normal high school girl at SFW. I saw girl on right buying cotton candy at a food truck and going SQUEEEEE!!!!! so I was like let's go take a picture of that. As they walked over a group of creepy ajussis sloppy seconding my
