sartorial sounds by street etiquette

“Sartorial Sounds integrates both music and style, two elements embedded in every culture past and present. We think it’s important to remember that everyone is an artist in their own right. And it’s the life experiences we encounter that provoke what we splash on our own blank canvas. We assembled seven individuals to partake in this editorial. The finished product incorporates their individual talents such as spoken word, rapping, singing and tap.”

Vogue Korea 15th Anniversary

naturally i have an appreciation for Korean art, so naturally i'm smitten-ed by this cover featuring model Hye-Jin Han wearing Damyeon. this is one of 15 covers for Vogue Korea's 15th Anniversary (so appropriate), but i particularly like this one above others. it shows the origin of traditional Korean garment, but has a contemporary display. Republic of Korea's fashion has come a long way since 1953, the supposed "end date" of the Korean War. in terms of modern lifestyle, there was little to none at that time. for the past 50-odd years, RoK took many efforts to catch up with the US, the then leading country of the world. today, their lifestyle surpasses ours tremendously and is constantly changing at an incredibly fast pace. it's hard to imagine that a country whose vast majority used to wear traditional garments as everyday-wear only 50 years ago, is now one of the leaders of fashion and art innovation.

i love some of the other covers:

style icon: Nicole Richie

anyone with money can afford to wear cool things by hiring a stylist. but not anyone can look cool wearing it. Nicole Richie has always had that It factor. she has the edge.
