Fashion Forward: Song Ji-hyo, Lee Yeon Hee

Just a random entry about fashion today.


I thought that the white Philipp Plein lace dress worn by Running Man's only female member Song Ji-hyo a couple of days ago looked decent and matches her prefectly. She was attending the VIP premiere of "The New World" which took place at COEX Megabox in Gangnam (style...). The outfit consisted of studs at the shoulder areas and creative cut-outs at the sleeves. The pair of black pumps which she opted for were a little "too mainstream" though.

The runway look for the Philipp Plein dress was much edgier with the studs and all. However, Song Ji-hyo manages to pull off a totally different look with her fair skin and ponytail. It is also commendable that she chose not to put on any wrist accessories in order not to make things look complicated. Two thumbs up for putting an essence of feminess into a rocker style garment.

Since I am on the topic of fashion, I would also like to highlight another outfit by a South Korean that is worth praising.


Fellow South Korean actress Lee Yeon Hee attended Isabel Marant's flagship store in Seoul two months ago where she donned a blue ensemble from the label's Fall/Winter 2012 collection. Going for blue on blue may not be a wise choice but Lee Yeon Hee has proved that wearing the same colour on different layers can make one stand. The black pumps (again) may be boring but it gave the top all the limelight that it should get.

The flowery pattern and the blue patches on the jacket complimented well to give an urban yet avant garde look. The length of the jacket, which goes down close to the knees, is the biggest plus point. The length of the pants constrasted well with the jacket's size to keep things proportionate.

Oh yes, and if you have not watched (or heard of) the Korean drama Ghost which Lee Yeon Hee stars in, then you should check it out. It is one of the best, and probably the best after all, Hallyu show in 2012.
