Fashion To Confuse


Sweet bejaysus. I've just heard about Korean fashion lable Tailorable via Skeleton Legs via omgblog and I honestly cannot make my mind up about it/them (click on that Skeleton Legs link for a bevy of catalogue photos).

On the one hand it's pretty unique stuff and I love the awkward quirky charm of the tailoring, especially on the check sports jacket on the left in the above photo (I also absolutely adore the navy double-breasted jacket in the catalogue; Love Boat chic is SHRN). On the other however, omgblog's tag for this combined with the fact the model Tailorable have used looks about ten years old makes me ever-so-slightly (and highly irrationally) get the impression that I'm looking at some kind of highly sophisticated and extremely subtle form of child pornography.

I mean, I can't understand why somebody would see a model that looks like they belong in a Korean beginner's spelling bee competition and think "now that's how I want to look. Finally someone has catered for my bizarre boy-worshipping clothing fetishes!" And yet they're my bizarre clothing fetishes - after all, I just admitted that I love the double-breasted jacket with the gold buttons. But it's a nice jacket!! Right?! This is SO WEIRD...
