The Korean Clothing Saga

Have you ever been to Facebook, Multiply, My Space, Friendster and even on the Google search bar, you typed in the keywords “Korean Clothing” and you’ll see random or voluptuous photos of skinny Asian (mostly Korean women) models in flashing and very sophisticated clothes? This is what I call now the saga of Korean clothing or the invasion of Korean apparel all over Asia and I’d say all over the world! Here in the Philippines the raid of the famous Koreanovelas in television did a great impact on how Filipinos now look, wear, act and even speak and were mostly donned on youths. Korean leading ladies on the said series look simply elegant just wearing plain dresses. They look natural, unfussy, rustic yet modest and the way they dress make them look innocent.

For the gentlemen, everything goes basic and plaid: trousers, button-down jackets or tuxedos, plain polo shirts and long-sleeved polo with matching neckties or just plain sweatshirts and frothing out an anime-look hairstyle.

I didn’t fully understand at first why there’s a massive need of this kind of clothing since Philippines is an open nation and lotsa sorts of clothes are coming in and out of the country. Later did I realize and did entirely understand when I became an online seller, wholesaler and retailer of this Korean apparel, simply because the clothing line speaks for itself. It’s not like the ones sold in boutiques and ‘tianges’ (Filipino term for stalls) that the ratio of their design is 1 is to 1000+ items. So that means, you’ll surely have a ‘kapareha’ (another person wearing the same dress/blouse as you do). Korean clothing a piece ranges from 500 Philippine Peso and above. Some resellers come up with over 1000 Philippine Peso marking to cover the freight charges from their suppliers and sometimes custom’s taxes.

Korean clothing is also like Bangkok’s dresses yet have distinctions in between. Bangkok usually uses spandex, lycra and silk for materials while Korean clothing were made of chiffon cloths and cotton. Bangkok dresses have strong colors, vibrant, flowy and loud while Korean apparel are femme, sexy yet simple. Both extract the outer beauties of women who always want to look good and fashionable every minute of the day.
