Do you know Dorothy Nam? You know, the cute lady on TV with the hat! She had her first fashion show last Friday, September 19th, in the Seoul Finance Center in City Hall. Yes, she's also a designer!
I had a chance to attend her first show, and was impressed! Here's a bit from the press release:
An Exhibition of 20~23 artists who are members of a stART-ing artists up on the rise made up of Korean artists with Korean artworks. In Collaboration with a Korean-American, well known as the "EBS/Arirang English teacher" debuting her first designs and Fashion show. Going from English to Designing!

Dorothy says that, "Anyone who has a beautiful or a petite figure will look good in anything they put on, but the serious CHALLENGE was living a life here in Korea and being beyond the regular petite size and now that is where the research and challenge began!~ so, in the long run, I don't mind being a bit chubby, there is just more of me! The true challenge and test was being on television and being a bit chunkier than most females on TV -- almost every producer and writer and coordinator has hoped for me to lose weight. Except in radio. But there seems to always be a slight frown being a Korean female and a bit chunkier in this industry. This has challenged me to great lengths and I want to wear pretty and beautiful clothes as well and also I LOVE colors!"
