Seoul fashion week is going to kick off this Saturday with a bit of fanfare. Now granted it is already duking it out with Los Angeles Fashion Week which, incidentally, won’t be at Smashbox studios any longer; this fashion week promises to give Hollywood’s fashion week a run for its money. Think about it, Eley Kishimoto might be there. That’s a really big might, but some of the women’s designers slated to be showing their collections include Song Jain, Gee Choon-hee, Lee Young-hee, An Yoon-jung and Cho Sung-kyong.

There is some backstory to Seoul Fashion week in terms of drama. According to the Korea Times, some major top designers like Rubina Lie Sang-bong, Son Jung-wan are going to be no-shows for the event because tehre was a rift between organizers and the Seoul Fashion Artists Association. Apparently, we all can’t just get along.

Though not participating in the SETEC fashion show, I am particularly looking forward to Rubina Lie Sang-bong. In my next series of posts, I’ll elaborate on this Paris based designers genius, but Korea fashion week still looks to have great collections on display.
