The fashion styles of hallyu stars are always a hot topic. The sometimes elegant and sometimes casual fashion items of the stars can be seen and purchased at special boutique shops or major department stores.
Gianna Jun (a.k.a. Jun Ji-hyun) is a fashion role model for many Korean women. After the actress was seen wearing Suecomma Bonnie shoes on Legends of the Blue Sea, the brand committed to making comfortable and stylish shoes, they have been referred to as “Gianna’s shoes.” And recently after actress Yoo In Na was seen wearing Suecomma Bonnie on the drama The Goblin, they’re also called “Yoo In Na’s shoes.” The unique and colorful Gentle Monster eyewear brand has become popular as G-Dragon’s sunglasses. Their gallery-like flagship stores feature different themes by season and by store. Stylenanda is a fashion brand that started online and has grown to become an international brand that dresses popular hallyu stars. Their flagship store called Stylenanda Myeong-dong Pink Hotel is a shopper’s paradise decorated in pink from the 1st floor all the way to the 5th floor café, which is famous for its “cotton candy” drink.
