In one of G-Dragon's Instagram posts, he is wearing black lace-up shoes from his collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti that match his sparkly jacket. The collection consists of two styles (lace-up shoes and loafers) and two colors (black and multicolored). Shelley Do not take without proper credit! Image Credits: Instagram, bigbangupdates.com
On September 19, Acne Studios opened its first Korean flagship store in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. A bunch of Korean entertainers attended and supported the event by posting it on their SNS. See Also: Who wore it best? Dara, Key, Victoria, or Son Dambi One of the biggest names who showed up is none other than G-Dragon. While many celebrities only wore a baby pink Cheongdam sweatshirt, the BIGBANG leader wore a full ensemble from Acne Studios's Menswear F/W 2015 collection.
Hello! It's been almost 3 weeks since I did my last post. I have been accepted to an university so I have been busy moving and getting things fixed. So I will busy for a bit and it will be less posts from me, but I have seen that Wendy have been doing a good job to help you readers. Fighting!
This 'Who wore it better' is a for the S/S 2013 collection from Kokon To Zai zombie jersey, I have been seeing many K-pop artists wearing this jersey both in black and white. I thought that I should focus on the white one since I think that looks better.
So let us start from the left, we have Jinyoung from B1A4. He is wearing it in the MV for 'What's Happening?' it hard to see the whole outfit but let us still try to give it a score. In the middle we Kangin from Super Junior, he wore it with ripped jeans and white slip-ons. The programmed that he MC's for is KBS A Song For You 4 ep. 6 with the guest T-ara. And the last man to the right is G-dragon from BIGBANG. His outfits is matched with a bomber jacket on, jeans, snapback, sunglasses and boots. The picture is from the '2013 One of a Kind: World Tour'.
That was all I have for this time. It was sad to read about what's going on in our site and others, that people take credits without giving it to us even when we helped them. I hope that we writers here on K-world Style don't stop posting for that and keep going. Fighting everyone!
Comment who you think completed the style best^^ ~Alex~

BIGBANG is featured in Vogue Korea's July 2015 issue with a laid-back and rustic pictorial. There is a Bohemian feel to their clothing, but is it really when you look at the brands/designers and price tags?
G-Dragon is wearing the Mix-Stripe Sweater from Comme des Garçons. Buy here.
Taeyang is wearing a button-up shirt from Junya Watanabe's Menswear S/S 2015 Paris collection.
Seungri is wearing the Gucci light blue denim two-pocket duke shirt. Be careful, the buylink for this shirt is temperamental. Sometimes it'll direct you to the correct product and sometimes it'll direct you to a picture of a random shoe. You would think for the prices they charge on their merchandise that some of the money would go to website development. There's a better view of the shirt on his Instagram:
Have you listened to their MADE Series D songs yet? So amazingly wonderful I cannot describe it in words. Shelley (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･ Do not take without proper credit! Image Credits: Vogue Korea, Barneys, NOWFASHION, Gucci
A blast from the past! During G-Dragon's Coup d'Etat era, he has worn two snapback caps from Habstore. The cylindrical structure of the cap with a flat bill is commonly worn in Korea as a military fashion statement and what painters wear to prevent paint from getting into their hair and ears. Both of the following caps are by the brand Bowller.
Here at M! Countdown 131107 he is wearing the TSD Denim Snapback Hat Black, which you can buy here.
The next day at a K-pop concert in Gwangju 131108 he is wearing the Unisex Just Do Bowller Snapback Hat White. Buy here. Shelley (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･ Do not take without proper credit!

Reader Alexander To sent us a bunch of cool tips today and a couple of them are from BIGBANG's performance of "We Like 2 Party" on M Countdown 150604.
G-Dragon is wearing the AMB DENIM ARMY JACKET from a Japanese brand called Ambush. Details here. The K-pop fashion scene this year is huge on Japanese brands and designers it seems.
Daesung is wearing the LACE DENIM TOP 2 also from Ambush. Details here.
Thank you soooo much for the tips Alexander! I also noticed Daesung's gloves are from Fox and I tried searching for the exact pair but came across this: It gave me a flashback of yesterday trying to find T.O.P's jacket and got a headache after searching for 10 minutes so sorry to say but I gave up :( Bonus find by me: Female backup dancers are wearing Disco Shorts in black from American Apparel.
If you have any tips for us on a Korean celebrity wearing an item, please email us at tips.kworldstyle@gmail.com. We will make a post and credit you :) (You can also Facebook message us which is what Alexander did, I actually check that more often) Shelley (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･
I bet $1 million that jiepaidao will steal this find. They already stole a find from this music video with the same designer I'm about to post; if they sat down and spent 5 minutes of their own effort like me by checking out the designer's collection they could've made the following G-Dragon find I made.
G-Dragon has the Dotted Fur Coat on in navy by Hyein Seo from her A/W 2014 collection. Lighting and editing makes a big difference on the appearance of clothing - beware when you go online shopping!
This is the find that jiepaidao stole (from another hardworking original K-pop fashion blog) - CL wearing the Ghost Face Stole also from Hyein Seo's A/W 2014 collection. Before that stolen find, I made a post on Kyung from Block B wearing it, which they also stole and made a "who wore it better" post. Why do they suck so much D': If they at least acknowledged us by giving us credit for our finds we would be happy. Is that so hard to do? Why pass off other people's work as their own? ʕ•̫͡•ॽु✚⃞ྉ✲ﾟ*｡❄⋆ Shelley ⚛˳̊☃✼✩ͯ•͙͙✧⃝•͙͙
Earlier today, G-Dragon and CL's collaboration with Skrillex (titled "Dirty Vibe") was released. If you have yet to see it, here is the video:
I feel like in an effort to be the more western definition of "urban", hip hop artists like G-Dragon and CL take common clothing troops to the extreme. For example, "gangsta" chains and grillz and overall appropriated items. Perhaps I am just bored of seeing Korean artists whose hip-hop is less urban rap (like, let's say Dok2 or Tiger JK) and more like over-saturated pop/rap.
Here is a fashion summary of the completely ridiculous "Dirty Vibe" wardrobe:
GD appears first in what I'm going to call the "base scene", because it's the scene that the MV keeps coming back to in between more fun/wild shots. While I appreciate the use of more diverse models/dancers (racially and by body-type), I am a bit frustrated that their clothing so clearly screams "objectified". If they were dancing perhaps that would be a different matter, but they are in crop tops and bathing suit/ underwear bottoms and literally just standing behind GD. In the second image, you can more clearly see that the girl with her hair down is wearing what appears to be child-sized shin guards. I just don't get what's A. sexy or B. cool about shin guards? I think the girls have cool shoes, and while I don't really understand their masks/ necklaces, I think they add to a more modern/ futuristic vibe.
In this frame, GD is wearing white on white, which I think compliments the girls' clothing and the background well. However, I am not really understanding which cigarette packs are included with what appear to be awareness ribbons and skulls. I always find it interesting when, in a meta-esque manner, the name of the song is incorporated into the video, and so I think it was a cool choice to have "Dirty Vibe" repeated over and over on GD's top.
I honestly don't know how to approach these shots of CL. She is so pretty, and I think her makeup looks great, but I am just thrown off by the fur cuffs on both her crop top and boots. Especially the boots. This look remind me of Josie and The Pussycat Dolls mixed with Moschino. I don't get the platform sandals with the thigh-high, completely-not-flattering leg warmers? Boots? I don't even know how many parts her leg paraphernalia are composed of.
I have no idea if her hair says anything, but this still looks quite artistic in my opinion. Obviously, something like this is staged purely for the sake of the music video. I can't imagine CL going to an awards show with a bandana around her eyes.
First rule of trench-coat wearing: pair it with slimmer pants! For real though, CL mixes quite a lot in this look. The sunglasses and trench coats are nod to The Matrix. While he shoes are fancier. Her turtleneck jumpsuit needs to burn. In fact, all turtlenecks need to burn. I know CL is a huge fan of the leotard/ bathing suit look, and I fully support her in that, but turtlenecks look far too suffocating. The pants are alright, but I am not a huge fan of them combined with everything else in this look. The giant hoop earrings, thick gold chain, and fingerless gloves look trashy not classy together. Or maybe it's the sweatpants-heels combo, which sometimes works, but definitely not when said sweatpants look three sizes too big for their wearer.
I just want to finish by pointing out GD's pleather fedora* and seriously massive amount of chains. Between the metal on his pants, around his neck, and in his mouth, I bet he's quite weighed down.
*KWS writer, Shelley, has pointed out that this is in fact a "bucket hat", and it's very popular in Kpop MVs as of late.
tl;dr: "Dirty Vibe" is all about faux fur, masks, and chains
It's been a while since we've posted on G-Dragon. GD can be seen here wearing Red pleather pants and a Gold Metallic Jacket found in the runway looks of Saint Laurent.
Do you know what you're going to be for Halloween yet? If you don't, never fear; I'm here to show you some the silly, spooky, wacky, sexy, cute costumes you can make based off Kpop songs from this year.
2. Block B-- Very Good masked, classy antagonists 3. SHINee-- Everybody sexy flight attendants ------- MY COSTUME Think I'm all-talk and no game? Well, here's my costume-- I'm sorry for the LQ picture:
I'm a vampire cat (?). One friend wanted to be a cat, and one wanted to be a vampire, so we're going as vampire cats, kind of like the Anime "Moon Phase". Have you seen it?
What do you think? Are you going to try out any of these? I would love to see pictures! Would you like me to do some ideas for earlier years? --Lauren
Warning: Image Heavy The Style Icon Awards2013 by Mnet has happened. It's an awards show I actually care about since its relating to style. This is a hot or not/best dressed and worst dressed list from me. It is solely my opinion and do not reflect the opinions of everyone at K-world Style. I have one of these previously did for Mnet's 20's Choice. This also includes my commentary, because…hey why not use two tags with one post?
On the big night, the big stars didn't wear much colour, which is sad. It is already depressing enough how cold and short the days are getting. Generally those who wear black plays it safe. Most likely they all did since no one wants to look bad at a fashion awards show. Either way they have achieved their goals, nobody looks horrible which is always a nice thing on the red carpet. I am not blown away but there are definite stand outs.
Hot
Gong Hyo Jin
I love Gong Hyo Jin's style and all her collaborations. She looks good with her layers and mixture of textures. Her dress isn't simply black, it has depth to it. The polka dot patterned mesh gives her an illusion of warmth and pushes her look out of the boring zone. I don't have much more to say, she just looks good. I like how her hairs and booties match.
Lee Jong Suk
The year's fastest rising star. It is obvious he's to have been selected with his strong fanbase, popularity and proportions. His outfit is well put together, his stylists must of put a lot of thought into it. A+ for Lee Jong Suk, his stylist, fans, parents and luck.
SNSD's Sooyoung: Hot but something's off...
No one can deny Sooyoung looks hot. However, something seems off. When I look at this, her legs are screaming for warmth. Her dress is very short as it just covers her tosh. I know they want to showcase her long legs but I can't help but think the dress is supposed to be longer or was for those who are shorter. The model's legs in this dress from the retailer looks shorter than Sooyoung's. I think maybe Sooyoung's so skinny, they put her in a dress a smaller size which was also shorter in length.
G-Dragon
G-Dragon wins the highest award so his position on this list is obligated. His whole 2013 year is great from his appearances to his Crooked MV. The only thing I have is that G-Dragon is wearing Saint Laurent. That's very predictable and because his overall look this year is the same as the appeal what Saint Laurent is trying to protrude. Also, he has been wearing so much Saint Laurent…but good for him for being loyal. He will make a great representative for any brand.
So So
4minute's Gayoon and Shin Ji Hoon
I like how Gayoon is wearing a suit instead of a dress and the colour is great. However, her partner is so plain. They have been photographed as a pair so I am taking them as a pair.
Not
Dal Shabet's Subin: Poor girl...
Poor girl, she is the one that fell on the red carpet. Sure it gains her some attention but it usually means something is wrong with her outfit. Unwritten rule for the red carpet is if you show legs, you don't show bust and vice versa. Sometimes it is not followed but I think its a great thing to follow. Now, if you split Subin in half, both halves are pretty good. However, together, its tragic. I feel sorry for her but she is still dressed badly.
Crayon Pop: Not Ready for Normalcy
Oh Crayon Pop, I get that the whole jumping and jumping song with the helmet is their trademark. I highly doubt anyone will recognize them without it. Really sucks for them style-wise. Their combination of helmets with polos, tennis skirts and athletic pants is unsightly. Even with the upgraded gold-ness and sparkle, their outfits are just tacky. People rarely see Crayon Pop in "normal" clothing so this would have been a great time to demonstrate if they are fashionable. Say, if they are so stunning on the red carpet, the buzz they will have created. With that momentum = public recognition without helmets. What a great opportunity lost.
Clara C Her outfit is like she tried to look like a Hersey's kiss but failed miserably. That fabric is not appearing well in photographs or well for the drapes. Very rarely can a technique of fashion designing look cheap but that draping looks so cheap. Clara's other garment looks a lot better but this one is the mostly heavily photographed one.
There are more people that appears but too many to categorize.
So who do you think looks "Hot" and who looks "Not"? Leave a comment below on anything! If you agree or disagree with me, I want to hear your opinion.
