    Hanging out with Joon, Sung Jin, and Seon before the Supercomma B (@supercommaB) runway. This was one of the most talked about shows this season because legendary hip-hop artist Yang Dong Geun walked in the show as a surprise. Supercomma B is a casual streetwear line that made its debut this season through Seoul Fashion Week.

    The street style is on another level in Seoul. There are also a lot of young fashion students outside the shows hoping to get a selfie with their favorite models or celebrities. This was right before I got mobbed by my amazing supporters while wearing my favorite lace dress by Goen.J. Captured by Ji Min Park (@jminism).

    Being silly backstage at the How and What (@howandwhat) collectsion. It was a beautiful collectsion of monotone hues inspired by chic women from the twenties—with a bit of kitsch.

    Bespoke designer Heich es Heich (@heichesheich) masters the art of fashion by experimenting with metallic fabrics. His collectsion was inspired by tailoring, showing both menswear and womenswear. I had the honor of wearing one of his silver metallic coats on the runway, which went perfectly with my pink hair.

    87MM (@87mm_offi) launched in 2012 by Korean models and style icons Won Joong Kim and Jiwoon Park with a small capsule collectsion of basic tees, crew necks, and beanies with lettering. It later became a must-have for both models and budding fashion icons. There were not only good-looking male models, but [it was] also a good-looking collectsion!
