today I went to Shinsegae department store (Centumcity in Busan)
for a special one day class with designer Yoni P
(from Steve J & Yoni P)
the theme was the fall trend of 2011 that we can incorporate in
our everyday wear
there were about 50 (more or less) people who signed up for this class
was held from 3:40 PM - 5:00 PM
there she is Yoni P
wearing studded jacket in leather + summer chiffon dress worn with leggings
and Reik nen's flatform like rounded shoes
check out Steve J & Yoni P's collection and lookbooks here
she showed us lots of collection photos,
the model off duty's looks and other fashionista's styling tips
so we can mix and match trendy items & our vintage finds
main things I would like to share with you are these points
1. don't be afraid of wearing bright colors for this fall/winter
(bright items like orange, burgundy, and mustard can be worn on one item
I would prefer accessories like belt or bag for a little pop of color)
2. there's no "right" length for skirts:
love midi, mini, or maxi skirts & dress up in however you'd like to
wearing ankle booties or a pointed heels can make your look
longer and leaner
so it doesn't matter if you are petite or tall, midi or maxi skirt
can still look cute, chic affected by your attitude
3. grab your bags? no grip them!
: you saw tons of collection photos of the designers
making their models walk the runway with their squared bags
or any kind of big bags folded like a clutch held in one arm
(like... under your armpit)
this is the new "it" way to wear your bag
(ex: think of Louis Vuitton, Prada)
4. don't make your wardrobe gets replaced every season
: mix and match your summer dresses worn with your fur jackets,
wear on tights/leggings under shorts with rider boots,
you don't have to change your wardrobes season by season
this way, you can save lots of $$$ by making your pieces
become transitional
& don't forget! you can open up your mom, grandma, or dad's closet
for oversized blazers, scarves, bags, dotted blouses
for lots of treasure finds ;)
Yoni P was really charismatic and so sweet to all of us
she answered all the questions enthusiastically,
and I could feel the passion in fashion from how she talks,
walks and in the clothes she makes of course!
with Yoni P after the class was over
(my outfit includes
H&M dress,
Crocodile ladies scarf,
Bulgari sunglasses,
Love Moschino bag,
fox chain & earrings gifted)
shoes I wore today not shown in this outfit photo above
I love wearing comfortable wedge these days
it has to be walkable & wide enough for my sticking out bones
added one of my fox chains on my love moschino bag
trying to make this summery bikini girls printed bag
to somewhat fall appropriate
did it work? i hope so
