How and When Korean Fashion Began

Korean fashion truly started from the start of the 21st century when Korean drama became popular and spread its popularity to the rest of Asia. You might have been familiar with Korean actresses like Ha Ji Hwon, Yoon Eun Hye, Ha Ga In or actors such as Jang Dong Gun, Bae Yong Jun or Kwon Sang Woon. Not only Korean dramas, along with it Korean cultural aspects such as food, songs and even language have become populal. For girls like me, I would definitely noticed how these actresses dressed themselves, put makeup in ways which are not popular the Western world but just as good looking.
As the name implies, Korean fashion simply means fashion from Korea (To be specific, South Korea). There are many aspects of Korean fashion that are worth looking at but I shall specifically look at how Korean fashion differs from the traditional Western fashion such as American fashion.
If you are a lady who has a liking for shopping for clothes, you would have noticed how clothes from for example, Mango, Espirit and Banana Republic differs from korean fashion style clothes. The designs are simpler, more regular shaped. For example, there are usually not extra attachments to the sleeve and shirts tend to be straight cut. Korean fashion on the other hand, tends to be more elaborative and sweet. I guess Asian girls tend to like things which are sweet and cutsey. It's a cultural thing! There tend to be more attachments to the collars, sleeves and pockets. They also make use of motifs and shapes such stars, hearts, and sweeter colours like sky blue, pink, soft green. You can find many such examples on magazines such as Vivi and Sweet Intimate which are obviously catered to Asians.
Because of the popularity of korean fashion, there now exists a very popular korean fashion wholesale market place in the heart of Seoul known as Dongdaemon. The shops are closed during the daytime and operates from evening until the next morning. Over there you will find a dazzling assortment of korean fashion clothes whereby retailers from Korea as well as the rest of the world drop by and purchase wholesale for retailing in their countries.
