Korea's Buzziest City Is Making Its Style Mark: A Peek Inside Seoul Fashion Week

South Korean fashion is really carving a name for itself around the world, so there's lots of buzz in the air everywhere you go. All of the runway shows are held at Dongdaemon Design Plaza—a huge, neo-futuristic complex designed by late architect Zaha Hadid. It's the perfect backdrop for the boundary-pushing fashion put out by most of the Korean designers. Last year, it was the most Instagram tagged location in Korea.

Designer Jinwon Woo kicked things off on Tuesday with a punk-inspired collection at Rocket X Lunch (@rocketxlunch_official), known walking the line between prep and street.

99%IS designer Ba Jo Woo announced 24 hours before the show that it would take place in the staff parking lot of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. It generated huge buzz because K-pop star G-Dragon (@xxxibgdrgn), who has 11 million Instagram followers, showed up!

One of the best parts of Seoul Fashion Week is the street style. It's truly on another level. Right now everyone is into rebellious streetwear and there's a huge growing punk scene. Outside the shows, you see a lot of young fashion students hanging out in hopes of getting a selfie with their favorite models or celebrities.

Vetements brought its latest capsule collection to South Korea for a one-day-only special pop-up shop in Deokso, a town on the outskirts of northwest Seoul. Dubbed "Official Fake," the limited-edition range was a remix of the Parisian label's iconic pieces from the 2015 spring/summer and 2016 fall/winter seasons like logo hoodies, heavy metal-inspired T-shirts, and raincoats.

Push Button (@pushbutton_official) designer Seung Gun Park is known for his whimsical prints and menswear-inspired tailoring. From gold lame pants to oversized stripe blazers to pocketed A-line dresses, everything in his Spring 2017 collection looked effortless. Luckily, it's stocked at Opening Ceremony!
