seoul fashion week

I don't know where to start... today was with no doubt the most exciting day ever since I have arrived in Seoul. Ten days ago my Korean friend Sue and I commented some picture on facebook to participate in a raffle for two fashion week tickets. I haven't given it a lot of thought in the past few days, because I never actually expected to win. The message from Sue yesterday night that we can go was therefor a complete surprise, a perfect one! It was like a dream came true. Seoul is by far the most fashionable city I have ever been to, to visit fashion week here just seemed unreal.

So it happened this afternoon that I took the subway to Dongdaemun, which is only 15 minutes away from EWHA. I had to skip two lectures at university, but I couldn't care less, it was totally worth it! We went for the kiok show at 2:30 in the afternoon - this is what we wished for in our facebook comment. For the people among you who are interested in fashion check this out to get an idea of her looks: http://kiokkang.tumblr.com. The show was amaaazing, great designs, very cool music, stylish people everywhere and such a vibrant atmosphere. I forgot the world outside in there! After the show we stayed at Dongdaemun Plaza to check out more of the fashion crowd. I don't have to say anything more here, just look at the pictures, wow. One more thing that should be mentioned however is that Dongdaemun Plaza is definitely worth a visit, not only for fashion week. The building is architecturally very interesting inside & out. Have a look by yourselves! <3
