Seoul Fashion Week Day 5

Dear Shaded Viewers,

After our amazing Japanese Graham Tabor send off breakfast at 7h this morning there was a press conference with the handsome and charming Mayor of Seoul, Oh Sea Hoon.

I could not resist a photo alone with the Mayor of Seoul, Oh Sea Hoon. He has lots of exciting ideas for making Seoul the 5th fashion capital of the world. Notice that beautiful Leica case around my neck, a gift from Mark Eley of Eley Kishimoto, you will be seeing a lot of it. It is probably the first brown item I’ve worn in years.

Next stop was Daily Projects where I had an interview with the founder of Maps Magazine, Ryu Do Yeon.

Steve J and Yoni P took me out to dinner before the pretty amazing Wooyoungmi show. I know it looks like I eat a lot here, well, you do eat a lot in Seoul but they stay very thin. Not sure how that happens but it does.

Steve J & Yoni P and I were going to go to the W party tonight but I feel like the walking dead and I wanted to write to you and go to bed.

Later,

Diane

P.S. ASVOFF screens tomorrow night at Daily Projects, if you are in town, I look forward to seeing you here. Henrik Vibskov arrived today but I was having my Maps interview and forgot to take a photo of him for you.
