Big Bang is Still Killing It...

...and they haven't even released their album yet.  Craziness. I told myself yesterday that I was going to relax on the Big Bang posts for a bit because I was starting to feel like a Big Bang fansite, not that that's a bad thing.  THEN... they release something like this: "Bad Boy" teaser- Source:  BIGBANG

EXO Is Always At The Airport: A Fashion Retrospective

It's true.... The members of EXO-K and EXO-M are ALWAYS at the airport.  I'm never sure where they're going or what they're going to be doing when they get there, but I'm forever seeing the pics.  There's often some major fashion moments taking place in these pics; some good, some bad but always notable.  Enjoy: This post is image heavy

So You Were Wondering What EXO's "Wolf" & "Growl" Drama Version MVs Are About? Pt. 1

Dress Like: f(x)'s Amber Liu

As I mentioned last week, I've been noticing that people are looking to dress like Amber Liu from f(x).  In fact, two of the most popular posts on this blog have to do with Amber's fashion (Idol Style & Electric Shock Shoe Porn).  So today I'm showing you lovely readers how to translate Amber's super boyish style from stage to street.

Stage:



Street:

While performing, Amber is often seen wearing a loose fit graphic tee, skinny jeans, a snapback cap with a funky print, some sort of jacket, and lots of chunky jewelry.  There's been multiple sightings of her wearing varsity jackets, so I went with that option.  

As we all know, most Kpop idol fashion is either designer, or expensive avant garde brands mostly only found in Europe, or Asia.  Here's how I took her ultra-trendy stage style to the accessible street version.

A big trend in Kpop fashion right now is irreverent graphic tees, with a recent focus on band tees, as you can see Amber wearing in the video above.  I found many options available here.  To achieve her look, all you need to do is cut the sleeves off of a tee, cut the sides open to wherever you feel comfortable, throw a layering tank or tube underneath and you're good to go.

You can do pretty much any bright colored or patterned jean with these types of outfits, and I found many options at Urban Outfitters to choose from.

Planning on using any of these tips?  Make sure you have some fun with it.... That's the whole point.

  2. It's interesting to see that when Amber isn't wearing "stage clothes" she's much more hip hop. I think that's where her heart is really. :)

    1. It's Krystal from f(x). The culture there is a bit different in that girls and guys can hold hands and stuff and noone cares. I thought I'd answered this last week, sorry!

SHINee Struggles With "Replay" On Music Bank's 700th Anniversary Special

SHINee was on KBS's Music Bank today for the show's 700th Anniversary Special .  The boys performed a special stage of their forever classic " Replay ", along with " Why So Serious? " and if you haven't at least watched the "Replay" stage, you should.  Take a look:

Full Scans + Interview From G-Dragon's Incredible Vogue Korea 17th Anniversary Editorial

Ok I knew that G-Dragon 's editorial for Vogue Korea's 17th Anniversary would be amazing but these kind of exceeded my expectations.  I am in awe of the depth and clarity of Hong Jang Hyun 's photographs and of the stylist's vision.  The makeup artists did a great job too.  I'm not saying I like them more than I like GD's 2009 Vogue Korea editorial but they come pretty close, especially the first photos, which I'm calling "G-Dragon in high fashion grunge Rivendell" (where the elves lived in Lord of the Rings ?  No?  Alright, I'll admit I'm kind of a nerd).  Scroll down for scans of all 32 images and the full interview translation.  You're welcome!
