가끔 남자의 패션은 여자의 패션보다 더 좋아해요.
(Sometimes I like men’s fashion more than I
do women’s fashion.)
EVERY
WINTER I GET EXCITED for one thing: making a new coat. This year I figured that
my closet desperately missed a good old black coat that will ‘go with
everything’. Yet, when I arrived at the fabric store, the corner with black
fabrics looked so sad and desolate that I suddenly decided that, no, I don’t
need a black coat
that urgently, so I
grabbed this dark-grey sort-of-sprinkled-with-tiny-white-dots fabric bolt and
marched to the cutting table.
Those watching Korean dramas may
already know this, but the fashion in Korean dramas is killer. After watching
the Korean version of
Nodame Cantabile
aka
Tomorrow’s Cantabile aka
내일도 칸타빌레 aka …– nah just kidding, that’s it! – I fell in love
with Joo Won’s (the main male character) fashion, especially his coats. So in my
attempt to replicate Joo Won’s fashionably impeccable aura, I decided to make
this coat resemble menswear as much as I could, starting from my fabric choice
and all the way to my tailoring.
Since nowadays I am too busy to create my own patterns, I
usually turn to sewing magazines in search of patterns that can give me a base
to faster develop my original idea. I found this blazer in BurdaStyle and I
immediately fell in love with its lapels and the narrow waistline that gives
this obviously menswear-inspired piece a more feminine touch. I, of course,
opted for a longer length since I had already planned to transform this blazer
pattern into a coat.
My awesome friend took these photos while I was visiting my
hometown, which by the way was freezing cold. I’ve had this Calliope dress for
the longest time and this winter I decided to finally start wearing it after
having it hibernate for four years on my shelf. I picked the wrong trip to pack
it for, but I was so adamant on wearing it, I ended up packing (and wearing)
two pairs of tights and another turtleneck underneath.
Talk about layering, huh?
Have a
nice start to your week!
ASPIRE
HIGHER!
hugs,
Dilek.
