When Gwen Stefani stepped into Harajuku the world went crazy for Japan's 'street' style. But just over the Sea of Japan, Korea's kids are also bashing about in urban style.
Korean fashion blends Japan’s experimental ‘try-anything’ attitude with feather-soft twill cotton and light wool fabric, in mild colours and subtle prints. The aesthetic is delicate, loose and in Melbourne, hard to find.
This is where Lion In Love comes in. Located amidst the formal dress Mecca that is Glenferrie Road, the store has one of the widest ranges of Korean designers this side of the hemisphere. Belts, dresses, skirts, T-shirts and scarves sourced from Seoul markets and young design stores are waiting to be unearthed. We say dig deep.
