...And that is why no American TV show bad fashion can scare me

[dangermousie]

I swear to you, that all the below fashion horrors occur within the five minute span.

(These are from ep 3 of Korean drama Hello Miss, which is otherwise adorable. But whose fashion designer, like so many drama designers, was clearly hired through an affirmative action program for the blind

Compared to those, the overalls, horizontally striped sweaters, and hookerwear-as-school-clothes I've been seeing in S1 and S2 of BtVS are tame indeed.

Yup. Now you see my bewilderment when people complain about bad TV fashion. I mean, after jean-shorts to the knee and pink polka dots on men (Goong), mesh shirts (Full House) or pointy shoes of doom and whole fur animals on the heroes of Hanadan, I am just relieved if I escape total blindness with a show.

That melted-strawberry-sundae dress with huge hip-heart is something I would have rejected when I was four. What's her excuse? I JUST DON'T GET IT.

[dangermousie]

And the thing is, she is a grown-up woman. An aristocrat actually. WTF?

You know...Lee Da Hae is gorgeous, but I wonder if it's really, really hard to do her hair(she does have a really small face) because only varieties of ponytails or straight and loose(or half pulled back) seem to work for her on any level.

And I shall forgive the horror movie hair because...uhm...I just got up and my hair looks just like that, only several inches longer and redder.

The rest we will simply not speak of.

Hmmm, now that you meantion about LDH, it's true. When they have just flowy hair, it's really really rare (even though she looks gorgeous).

Horror movie hair: true, but this lady has gone out by now, and it's her 'spend tons of time at my mirror' look.

Kdrama fashions exist on some parallel plane where ruffles and polka dotted things are the height of good taste.

In the first picture I suspect the other person is pretending to be dead so they don't have to look at what the heroine is wearing.

Sadly, seeing some of the outfits of the other girl, I doubt it.

We know it's a love match made in heaven, with the similarly awful taste of hero and heroine :)

I approve of the suit and the white shirt. That spotted monstrocity between them? Not so much:

hate to break it to you, but that spotted mostrocity IS the shirt -- with a white collar.

yeah, i just don't get alot of the fashion in drama. (some could argue i don't get fashion in my life). but these, these are real gems. ::scrubs eyeballs::

Now that I look closer, you are right. I mean...whyyyyy? You have to work hard to ruin a suit but they managed.

[katranna]

...I actually kind of like some of these....

:-P

[dangermousie]

Why am I not surprised? :)

[katranna]

I don't have your cleavage or your butt. I must make up for it somehow! And that "somehow" is "weird fashion."

I think the drama heroines do the same. ;-)

[dangermousie]

But unless you also want bizarro arms, what is the excuse for ruffles on upper arms?????
