jehee sheen ss12

It was all about shorts at the SS12 collection by Korean designer Jehee Sheen, which was presented during Seoul Collection back in October.  Short shorts, medium shorts and long shorts (trousers?) were all seen under oversized linen jackets in black, white & neutrals and were paired with very styling gladiator sandals.  The short shorts were my faves (obvi) but I also enjoyed the full cut of the just-above-ankle length variety as well.  Calf length capris however, I am never a big fan of.

Seoul's 10 Soul

The South Korean government has been pushing Seoul to become one of the world's major fashion cities and after a successful showing of Korean designers at Concept Korea during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York last fall, they recently debuted in Singapore at Seoul's 10 Soul. Take a look at this video and tell me your aren't psyched by what Seoul has to offer! (Also keep your eyes peeled for me on the catwalk in the ALANI & Jehee Sheen segments of the video as these were two of the shows I walked in during Seoul Fashion Week FW11).



Featuring 10 of Korea's up and coming fashion designers including ALANI, beyond closet, GENERAL IDEA, GROUNDWAVE, jaehwanlee paris, jardin de chouette, Jehee Sheen, KAAL E.SUKTAE, LEYII and Steve J & Yoni P, the designers each presented 3 'cruise' inspired outfits.  Check out Kokokoreano's coverage of the event HERE.


Also thanks to both Kokokoreano, a leading entertainment & fashion site which covers South Korean celebrities, and blogger asiaRasia of whutderrfakqizvat for giving me a heads up & emailing a scan of an interview about me that was featured in the 'Dynamic Seoul: All about Seoul Fashion' handout that was given to everyone who attended the Seoul's 10 Soul performance.  It was actually a translated & shortened version of the same interview I did for Harper's Bazaar in September of last year. I love that they included me in it!

jehee sheen f/w 2011/12

I was very happy to be one of the main models for the Jehee Sheen FW 2011 show this season. It was a monochromatic black & grey collection with strong military influences as seen in the hats & even in the 4 by 4 marching finale which created a grid of pale faced models lining up & down the runway. I loved the soft, leather boots which came in black & white in both smooth & quilted patterns like a few of the outfits. Woven circles reminiscent of fossils adorned a few of the pieces and leather was seen in a lot of the jackets. Very dark, very strong, very cool. Take a look at the teaser video for the show:
