Seoul has joined the big boys and started calling its former "Seoul Collection Fashion Show" by the more proper-sounding title of "Seoul Fashion Week" along the lines of Paris, New York, and Tokyo. And, much more than you might think, there's some pretty cool stuff going down on the runways of Seoul, with increased international interest in what some (perhaps as over-optimistically as ever) are calling a "Korean fashion wave." But yet, as in even the former Korean wave, there was some substance to it, some pretty interesting stuff worth looking at. Below follows an excerpt from the picture-filled post of www.FeetManSeoul.com, which you can visit if you'd like to see or read more.
We here at FMS are all about the fashion of the street, what's hot right now. But we can't miss Seoul Fashion Week, right? We go to the runway shows and keep up with fashion at its source -- the runways of high fashion -- but we are mostly concerned with how this will eventually translate into the styles of the street.
When we attend fashion week, FMS looks at more than just the runway shows -- we look at the fashion leaders and what they're wearing. What better place than a fashion show to benchmark what's hot on the street as well? So, we started taking pictures of members of the crowd whose fashion and style caught our eye.
