A Suit Distraction

Delightful light fashion shoot featuring Kim Woo-Bin and robin’s egg blue, apparently.

It’s from a magazine I hadn’t heard of before, Woman Joong Ang; sounds like a ladies’ journal, which explains a bit of the innocent olden-days feel to the shoot. I really, really like the jacket at the top, though. It balances plaid with a low-contrast scheme, but uses it well for a spring brightened suit look.

Yoo Seung-Ho, evil tease, off to his military duties, left us with some pretty summery pictures at least.

(Who else is thrilled to be seeing spring come around, at least in pictures?)

These clothes are kind of anti-trendy. The suits are somewhat throw-backs. The casual outfits all have some dated edge. Almost like they were going for the look of an old developed-film photograph series. Which is kind of nice, actually.

And Yoo Seung-Ho actually has a face that I can see being a leading man of an earlier decade, too, can’t you?

Some more photos from that shoot, now I’ve looked it up (because holy toledo, that is gorgeous).

They’re clearly playing dark-and-light with his naturally preppy vibe. In the clean cut cardigan-and-school-shirt side his punkish earrings out the bad boy who then is wearing three different dotted patterns together to live it up.

(PLAYAH. Apparently the only justice of the gods on these ladykillers is a: never get the drama’s heroine or b: wear busy patterns without realizing it.)

Because I couldn’t sanely fit them all into this post, there are more if you click through to omonatheydidn’t.

My Mukai crush has been on the down-low lately—I have had these photos forever, but now it’s cooling off (here, anyway) it’s a lovely set for a little fall color!

Mukai Osamu is problematic for me, because he looks best in jeans and tees. Boots and low-profile sweaters. But this one is such a *pretty* sweater!

It’s understandable why more fashion shoots don’t happen in the rain, but lovely pictures like this make me wish they did…

Another instance of that crazy fringed hood, last seen on Lee Min Ki. (Haven’t posted those here, I have so many pictures of him I’m trying to portion out..)

And then a couple of photos sure to worm their way into my heart with a newsie/cabbie cap, an at-work-artist look that includes camera and harrasment on a phone. What a cute worried face he makes!

It’s the expressions that really make this photograph, and I think it’s awesome to see the divide—in the hood he’s looking monolithic and impassive, and the angle adds to that illusion. While in the other two he’s retiring, and down the sightline, and he seems like a totally other person. One I’d actually like to say hello to, and ask where he got his hat.
