Last Thursday I stopped by the General Idea showroom with my friend Kyuhee for a collaboration party & W. Dress Room sale. General Idea is a Korean menswear brand designed by Bum Suk Choi / 최범석 and W. Dress Room is his less expensive, faster produced sister brand that carries both men's & women's clothing. I picked up these lightning bolt skinny jeans for only W10,000! ($10 US). I thought they might be a bit small as the sizing was just a vague 'large' so I had originally intended to reform them in some way, but fortunately they fit like a glove.
I bought the hood and tank top on Friday at H&M after model auditions for Seoul Fashion Week. A little shopping usually de-stresses me. The tank was actually found in the women's section, I just bought the biggest size available. If you aren't too shy the ladies section at H&M is worth checking out, they often have some pretty rad tanks that are very unisex and quite long.
The General Idea collaboration was called 'Teardrops, be Waterdrops'. Four Korean artists including my friends Dabin and Novo, were asked to design T-shirts with proceeds going to help children in Africa. For more information about the collaboration and to see some photos from the party (some of which I borrowed for this blog), check out Korean street snap photographer Paparazzo's website HERE.
This is my friend Novo with his white t-shirt in the background. Novo aka Jeong Eun Kang / 정은강 or 'Novo Korea Warrior' is also a well-known tattoo artist in Seoul. Check out his site HERE.
This is my friend Dabin Ahn / 안다빈 with his continental African print tee.
