Playful Sulli

Summer has started everyone! WOOT that means I can post like crazy :). It hasn't been one year since K-world Style has started so I don't have experiences with summer. What I mean by that is if anyone is going to comeback or something... :P Let's just see how it works out.

This post will be about one of the cutest brands I've ever encountered and also the cutest MC. While hosting Inkigayo on Feb 21, 2010, f(x)'s Sulli wore Manoush Striped Brocade Cotton Playsuit. This is available for $293 at farfetch. 

 Manoush is a French brand established in 2003. "Young French label Manoush has an eclectic vintage style that is both sophisticated and cool. The brand's name comes from the French word for gypsy, so it follows that these gorgeous pieces have a whimsical, bohemian edge. After her travels to Morocco in 2002, founder Frédérique Trou-Roy decided to launch her own line" - net a porter

Two Guesses

A Wonder Girls Find! So happy I have a spare then I have  no exam tomorrow！Yeppers， that means I have more time to study and on KWS 。

I can say recently but it hasn't been very long since the Wonder Girls released their Two Different Tears album. Ever since, the song is stuck in my head. And this is one more step to unlocking Wonder Girl's unique style. On the Two Different Tears album cover (above) Sunye wore lace platforms with two adjustable straps. They are Guess Kenedy Platforms. Available here for 99$ at their official online store. Usually I hate heels but I must say now, even I want to ruin my feet with those ridiculously high platforms.

Super Comeback Style

Hey Nikki Here.
First off, Congradulations to K-World Style's new writer, Ria!!!!
Thank you soo much for helping this blog out (for I've been MIA for a while... T_T)
Ria has given us so many tips in the past - she is a really talented finder ^^.

I came across an interesting article on Daily Kpop News. It was an article about a korean fan finding Super Junior's Bonamana comback styles!!

I will share them here: (here's the original article)

SBS Inkigayo Comeback Stage - Kwak Hyun Joo’s Runway S/S 2009-2010


MBC Music Core Comeback Stage - Kwak Hyun Hoo's Runway F/W 2008-2009


This was shared by hyukxenhae@sapphirepearls
And this was posted on dkpopnews by sukira.
Thank you very much!!

I have to apologize to all of KWS's readers, and especially to Maria and Ria for my absenses. I am graduating high school tomorrow, and I will be performing a drum piece during graduation. The practice time for that was taking longer than I thought. I was hoping to have more of my attention to KWS after graduation, however unfortunately I cannot. I don't think any of you know this (since I was keeping this a secret) but my main sport for the past 11 years is Karate. I have the karate national championships next week, and although I was on a hiatus for karate, I have to help my teammates (who are from hawaii) and I am going to coach in the tournament. That will be from sunday the 27th to july 3rd. Then, I will be off to Japan for a month trip.
I know these are all excuses, but I wanted you all to know that I did not desert KWS for no reason and that I still want to be considered a part of KWS. I know I have not put as much effort as Maria and Ria have into this site, but there is always a place in my heart just reserved for KWS. I am really happy to have been a part of KWS, for up until I met Maria I hardly knew much about fashion. I am extremely greatful for all of Maria's help for me these past... 6? 7? I think close to 8 months. And I am extremely happy for the new addition, Ria.

This almost sounds like a goodbye statement, but it is not even close to one! Just a warning that there will be little activity from me during the summer. I plan to keep up with Maria and Ria on KWS even when I'm in college ^^.

Ria, congradulations again and thanks so much for helping out KWS!!
and Maria.
Thanks for everything and for being patient with me.

Dirty Jonghyun

Oh yes another SHINee find. I know how much you all love Shinee. Also request by sherrzinger and other people. (sorry I couldn't find you) If you requested please comment and sherrzinger if you are still with us leave a sign (ps. comment).

This sweatshirt was wore twice during SHINee's Ring Ding Dong phrase. During their visit to Chin Chin radio and a practice performance, blondie Jonghyun wore this hood top. At first I thought the big white thing was a bullet hole but it turns out to be dirt. That's why it is called Star Styling Dirt Sweater. Available here for 99 Euros.

Also, I just finished my first exam...gahh...am I nervous T_T.

Anselm Taemin

Request by Michi. WELCOME RIA!

Smack me (please don't) if I'm wrong but I believe this is what we have all been looking for. One of Taemin's insanely colorful tees during Juliette promos. I found this about 5 months ago and I thought it was some type off replica because the brand is called "Star Styling". Fortunately, I discovered that is it actually a brand that doesn't replica what stars wear. So here we go!
Taemin is wearing Star Styling Anselm Tee available here for 55 Euros.

Back To the DressRoom For Seohyun

As you probably guessed it, a We Got Married Seohyun find! Lucky that I cleared my homework this weekend so I can post today.

In the new episode of We Got Married, Yonghwa and Seohyun moves into their new home. Also, Yonghwa gets intimidated by Taeyeon, Hyoyeon and Tiffany. Anyway, throughout most of the show Seohyun wore a polka-dot knit top. It is from W. Dressroom called polka-dot knit tee in white. Even though Seohyun already graduated high school, she still had a backpack on. The backpack in her lap is Juicy Couture Back To School Quilted Backpack. But this is no ordinary backpack because it costs $228 (unavailable online anywhere).  Sadly, the sweater is also sold out.

Clearing up W. Dressroom. So this brand is an actual brand that creates their own original clothing. But, they do copy other designers, not exactly the same but similar. Even so, celebrities left to right wear their clothing.
Like this one.

Clearly a copy of Alexander McQueen's dress but not the same. But...the cut is the same as the one Sohee wore that I previously posted on. I had trouble determining if it's real or fake...now we know.

Check out this vid of Seohyun rocking out on the guitar in the most recent ep of WGM.

New Blogger on 'Fire'!

Wassup!

I'm a new blogger! WooHoo! Maria and Nikki have called in reinforcements :P
I'm Maria (but a different Maria to the one you know) and for the purposes of this blog I think I'll change my name to Ria :)
Super-psyched to be writing for the truly epic blog that is K-World Style...as you can probably tell from the serious over-use of emoticons and exclamation marks :P
So while I'm getting the hang of this whole 21st-Century-technology fandango, please bear with me; and show some love!
And on that note, I leave you with my first post...

2NE1's fierce leader CL wore this varsity jacket in MBC's DanBi. It's from the Nike X Parra collaboration. Personally, I love the patches on it...story of my life :P keke

P.s. You'll have to excuse the poor editing :( I'm gonna need a masterclass in photoshop!

Bags Gallore: Lapalette

Lapalette means The palette in French is a Korean brand that is most famous for bags. They also have shoes, accessories, books, handkerchiefs and more. They have been featured on Ceci Korea, Nylon Korea, Ellegirl Korea, Vogue girl Korea and many Korean dramas. 

SooYoung sports Lapalette Brit Union Square Bag in black filming SNSD's cameo in Oh! My Lady.

Yoona had the same bag but in blue while Taeyeon works the Lapalette Craft Empire Bag in rich brown. 

Ex-Seeya leader Nam Gyuri looks refreshing in her polo and Lapalette Brit Union Metallic Bag. 

Sooyoung, Yoona and Gyuri's bags are from the same collection called "union line" While SNSD's kid leader's bag is from the "pony line" featuring you guessed it...the pony.

You can purchase these goodies at their official store. 

- Sooyoung and Yoona's here (129 000 Won)

- Taeyeon's here (154 000 Won)

- Nam Gyuri's here (98 000 Won)

Here's some other their other bags. Aren't they fantastic? My personal favourite the Eiffel Tower one.

Stumbling for Mika

Hey everyone Nikki here.
I found this quick find - from a new boy band group that debuted 3 months ago: DaeGukNamAh (The Boss). They are dubbed as the 2nd DBSK due to their style and high levels of dance and vocals.



Mika, the leader of DGNA is wearing Cheap Monday's Patched Tight Skinny Jeans. Get it here for $93 at asos.com. Donghae wore this for the Bonamana photo shoot.

For those that do not know DGNA, they just released their new single Stumble Stumble (BiDeul BiDeul) today. Take a look here.


Their debut song Admiring Boy (or Tokyo Boy) is here - fans find similarities of the styles between this song to DBSK's debut single, Hug.


Personally I like this group. I am looking foward to their progress in the future.

Colorful Shoes 2

- requested by Jocelyn and Ploo

- tipped by Julian eggplant

Sorry about the mix up last time. But thanks to Julian eggplant everything is all clear. Anyway, Junhyung, above, is wearing Nike Terminate High Supreme Quickstrike in Mint and Chocolate by Swagger. The shoes were a celebration of Swagger's (a Japanese Hip hop clothing company) 10th anniversary. The price ranges from 115 - 250$. They were released around late July in North America and a month earlier in Japan. These shoes are sold out on most online ports except for Ebay. Sorry.

Sorry about the images, my desktop doesn't have a photo editing program. I had to use an online one which kinda sucked...a lot. Hopefully my AC Adapter will come soon.

Bom is faithful to Alexander McQueen

Many stars attended the 71-Into the Fire premiere including 2NE1's resident bunny - Bom

Funny story, I just came back from my seniors' commencement (sorry for the misunderstanding). One of the girls was carrying this clutch! I was like I've seen that somewhere. . . BOM! So I hunted the girl down and tortured her to telling me where her clutch was from. joking :P

Anyway, Bom is clutching Alexander McQueen Blue Faithful Glove Clutch. If you haven't noticed, I love Alexander McQueen!!!! This glove-tastic clutch is available here for $524.

General Idea of Heechul

Hey Nikki here.
Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I was really caught up on school work teachers decided to give on the last week of school. My classes end next monday, and I graduate on the 24th!!! Yay!
Anyhow, I was also down with a cold T_T. I'm not 100% but I'm feeling much better after many naps XD.

Anyhow, Maria provided me with a great korean online clothes link, called ilmostreet. Not suprisingly, I found a find from that site. Thanks Maria!!


It's a little hard to see for there are no good clips of Heechul wearing this shirt.
The shirt is General Idea by Bumsuk's Scarf T-Shirt. I only found the korean buy link. Get it here for a sale price of W67,200.
Heechul wore this shirt in the Bonamana MV (screen caps provided by sment's youtube channel.) And also for the Bonamana Version B photo booklet. (Credit: KyuMin World

Introducing Playmonsters

I've decided to present a popular Korean brand every once in a while. I personally like this segment.

All above is by Playmonster, a Korean street wear brand.As you can see it is fairly popular among many idols. They provide things from tees to hoodies to face masks to key chains.

From the top left, EunHyuk wore Playmonsters while hosting a session of Sukira.

 Both Jooyeon and Kahi wore Playmonsters dancing to Lipgloss at the MBC Star Dance Battle. Jooyeon wore Playmonsters DJ Mon Navy Hoodie available at vip-club (ships internationally). Kahi wore Playmonsters PM Stadium Jacket.

T-ara's Hyomin wore Playmonsters Military Mon Hood in Light Green.

Jiyoung while at Sukira hearting with Leeteuk wore Playmonsters Rabbit-Mon MtM Tee.

This post is a work in progress as I try to identify as much as possible. Also, I just want to get something out before midnight. I've been too busy and Nikki's been busier.

Checker-Ducted Amber

Nikki will be taking a break for a week to prep for her grad. My laptop AC Adapter still isn't here yet. T_T I will update you peoples while I'm on spare at school. :)

f(x) did a photshoot with the-star I believe. Amber wore Cheap Monday Duct Tape Jeans from their S/S 2010 collection. Available at Karmaloop for $57.95 ( KWS218). Her top is from Horace called Horaced Checkerboard Tux Tee. It is available for $95 at sevennewyork.com.
