A Suit Distraction

“Blue Beards” - photography by Kylie Coutts, beards by Lisa Cooper

This shoot has some of the most bizarre concept editing on it I have ever seen, but it also has amazing clothes to show off…

Those stripes! That tie!

Who knew the right jacket could make a floral pattern blouse look alright for menswear?

It’s possible the hydrangea beards are doing them a service, by being the weird one in the photo…

It’s been some time since I posted any suit-art!

And if I never had before, I would have started for this. GORGEOUS.

Impressionist work with such movement and verve and yet elucidating such form I can appreciate the clothes…

A knock-out lineup in a fanciful shoot themed on the Olympics for InStyle…

My favorite (of course) is Exo-K in their mixed media of gear and preppy casual. And smudges. Can’t forget my favorite makeup smudges.

Next comes Lee Min-Ki in a gorgeous set of all-white, mimicking fencing uniforms but actually a suit. Something about the high lapels reminds me pleasantly of science-teacher manga one-shots. (Or school nurses, if you prefer.)

Now that’s out of the way, what kind of faces are these doofs even making? Lee Jin Wook. You don’t even look like yourself, it is hilarious.

I love the way they dress up the shoot with the jackets, and yet the only color is focused to the sneakers.

It’s splashy advertising, and also plays up the youth/spring look without having to spell it out.

Those padded shoulders on Lee Min Ho. Precious, and yet I also would like a closer look at what they’ve done with the pattern…

Okay, so we know how hard it is to uglify Kim Soo-Hyun. They gave him an impossibly bad perm and a feed-sack wardrobe to try and surprise us with his beauty, in Dream High. It only barely worked. This shoot makes me think of the comment made in What’s Up, Fox about the pretty girl as a model “You’re too pretty—pretty faces don’t make the clothes look good.”

I think Kim Soo-Hyun’s actually not a fantastic model, because I don’t really look past his face to the clothes, but he sure tried. Love the different settings, and the range of blues and blacks. The odd vest in the black and white photo looks like the most edgy piece, but otherwise these are all solid looks that Soo-Hyun kind of overwhelms.

It’s good to see him in civvies instead of sageuk regalia though. Good one, Bazaar.

Let’s see…what can I say about this? Love the dusty hues, just that bit more spring-like in their suffuse color.

Also, the length of the coat in top right corner, I am all for a little more tail. Since this is focused on a brand rather than a person, we get all the pretty details of the outfits, and a little behind-the-scenes mystique.

The color and pattern on both coats is swoonable to me, for some reason. Love light colors with texture on them…

This young actor has made a little career for himself playing the baby versions of incredibly beautiful actors.

We are not confused as to why. I’ve only seen his acting in a fan-made music video about Warrior Baek Dong-Soo, though I have someday plans of watching Moon That Embraces the Sun…

That plan may have just been moved into the closer future, being more resigned to however many episodes it is before the appearance of Kim Soo-hyun and Jung Il-Woo.

The suit jacket and sweater are only made interesting by their presence on child-like Jin-gu, but that leather jacket fusing brown fabric and seam-detailed black leather is the perfect boy-meets-man look for someone still adorable but obviously heading toward adulthood.

This man…is adorable. Both episodes of Immortal Song where I’ve watched Im Tae-kyung perform I’ve spent his moments on screen saying, “He is so cute. How is he so cute?”

(Often aloud. But in Japanese, so my sister doesn’t ask me what I’m talking about.)

The thing is: there are no pictures to capture that. Because he’s just handsome in stills, it’s something about his presence, in those suit jackets, with those puppy eyes, and that soaring poperah voice…

So. I gave up on the shoots that make him look to debonair, and the stills that aren’t HQ and instead have let him come to you as Mozart. With the sexiest tattered jeans ever to go with a full Baroque coat. I ACTUALLY LOVE THAT.
