someone call the fashion police!

I was doing my daily reading of kpop gossip when I came across this photo.
























What.the.hell?! This guy's outfit commits so many levels of fashion crime that I dunno if I should either weep due to outrage or chortle due to hilarity. Now, I'd like to think of myself as at least a fashion conscious gal, I do feel I have the obligation to educate people how not abuse clothes and other people's sense of style.

Starting from top, the gold-lamé zip up jacket. (I didn't start at the hair, coz well that hair style is actually quite prevalent in Asia). If the jacket was made out of any other material, it would've been fine, but not gold and definitely not lamé. I know gold is the colour of the most precious metal and all that shit, yada yada. But it just does not belong to a casual cut zip up jacket. Words like whory, tacky, lame, attention-seeker come to mind with that kind of jacket.

Then there is his belt. The belt itself is alright (for a girl) but the things hanging off it ain't. I spot at least 3 outrageous things, the gold chains (probably plated ones), the gold tassels (again, wth?) and the most unforgivable fashion sin, price tag still attached! You'd think that as a celebrity (he's part of the korean boy band H.O.T.), he can afford a belt without having the need to return it. But no. Such is the dire situation of our troubled economic times.

Last but not least, there's a shawl hanging off his ass. I personally have nothing again shawls. They're a nice and practical accessory to an outfit, eg on the shoulders. Of your grandma. Not hanging off some dude's ass. Who's wearing jeans.

The piece of gossip relating to this dude was that a woman claimed he raped her. I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Any sane woman with an ounce of fashion sense wouldn't go near this guy, let alone come in contact with him, with that outfit on!
