/ It's my first 'chadchad of the day'! Since I'm going to see Autokratz tonight here http://bit.ly/bfYinq I didn't want to wear a thick warm jacket so I opted for the trench coat I reformed and wore the opening day of fashion week. I bought the spikes at Dongdaemun fabric market and put them on using an awl, a hammer and a metal base. They were kind of expensive for studs, W600 each (~50 cents US) and I used around 60 of them. But I think it's 30 dollars well spent to transform a basic black jacket into something much edgier.
The dinosaur necklace is something I created as well. I've made quite a few using plastic children's toys, spray paint and gold or black chain to sell at monthly flea markets around Seoul like the Ecomarket by Cracker Your Wardrobe magazine or the Bling magazine Night Flea Market at Platoon Kunsthalle. Come to the next one on December 11th or message me and I can special order one just for you^^

The cropped sweater is one of a few things I recently ordered from Oak NYC and love. It drapes on the body so well. The jeans I've had for years and just can't give up even though they have so many patched holes in the crotch, which I'm convinced happen to all my jeans because I'm a fast walker in tight jeans. ha. The tank top is something I found in a random little shop in Toronto over the summer - there was a Karl Lagerfeld one as well which I totally should have bought. The shoes I've had for a few years as well (as you can tell by how worn in and in need of a polish they are) but just recently traded their original basic black laces for transparent ribbon, inspired by the black ballet flats I wore in the ALANI SS11 show during Seoul Collection. /
