burger kim in 55 pages

A few months ago at an opening party, Burger and I met Christopher Sims, the executive producer of 55 Factory. He immediately fell in love with Burger's look and asked him to pose in his hat designs for a magazine he was creating called 55 Pages, which would be handed out in gift bags at many of the shows during London Fashion Week. Not only did Burger make it into the magazine, he also made the front cover! Here are images from his spread and a deliciously awkward video of his interview. Check out the rest of 55 pages in pdf format, containing interviews with the likes of manga artist Gil Ichiyama and a band called The Moccasins along with a few editorials styled by my friend Sara Darling by clicking HERE.

Here's what I ended up wearing to Boy George's birthday. I didn't even find out I was going until an hour before hand, so I stole the arse ends of the two toy pony's Burger used on his hat (previous post) then made two slits in the sides to slide elastic waistband through. I then hand sewed this (easily unstitched the day after) to the shoulders of my jumpsuit from General Idea by Korean designer Choi Bum Suk. They were amazing when I danced and the pony tails were all over the place when Beyonce's 'Run the World' came on, a perfect song to dance to with power shoulders. Yep!

The black leather cuff was part of the impeccably designed invitation sent out by Korean designer Han Sang Hyuk for MVIO's spring/summer 2011 collection.


The gold & crystal earring was a gift from Korean designer Park Jong Chul from his label Line or Circle's FW 2010 collection.  I decided to change it up a bit and give it a pony tail of it's own by adding a chunk of hair from the wig Burger attached to his toy pony hat.

As you can see, the outfit Burger wore to Boy George's 50th birthday bash was effing perfection. He made a similar hat with a Barbie head & oversized doll arms last year and had been saving these two toy pony's for a special occasion. I guess Boy George's 50th is special enough, no?


The rear shot of the hat gives you the full effect of the wig which was attached to the upper back of the hat using nails. He sawed the two pony's in half and attached them to either side using a drill, then added gold chain for more detail. Quite heavy but a complete work of art.


This hairy belt thing is called a sporran and is traditionally worn over a Scottish kilt. It complements the blonde pony hair & wig perfectly and is also a great place to store your wallet & keys.
