KCON NY 2015: K-POP IDOL INSPIRED STREET STYLE!

[cotxpaxi.livejournal.com]

Hello! This is MUTZINE's Founder and Editor, Gissella. Contrary to popular belief, my home base is in New Jersey. I attended KCON NY last weekend, armed with a DSLR, a 50mm lens, and the intent to capture some street style. I never actually took street fashion photos before, but after interviewing a few photographers like Teni Bakare, Chad Burton, Aaron Park, and receiving submissions from The Good Glass, I've been inspired to try it too.

KCON NY's daytime schedule of events were set up more like a block-party than a convention. There were food stalls, carnival games, and even a pop-up dj booth in addition to the tents that hosted the panels and workshops. The bright and sunny weather lent itself to the outdoor gathering. The first person that I photographed was a girl sporting an outfit based on SHINee's Married to the Music concept. I liked how she put together an outfit that was the perfect union between street and cosplay.

I hope that you guys enjoy these pre-concert snapshots from KCON NY 2015! The attendees in general were all so cute! From rocking idol staples like Hood By Air to platform shoes, and blue hair, the K-pop influence in their style was clear. If only my skills weren't lacking, I would have taken and posted a bunch more photos! There's always next time though, so stay tuned!

(You're welcome to submit photos like these from your local K-pop events!)

I am a little confused by the random wedding veil, but everything honestly looks pretty awesome, honestly really good emulation of the style.

It goes with the her shirt, she's married to the music. Also in SHINee's video for MMTM the female who was stealing body parts was a bride and had a veil as well.

Ah, I missed the writing on the shirt. Clever, clever.

Oooh these are so interesting! I see makeup tutorials for specific idol looks frequently, but since I've never been to a gathering of kpop fans I've haven't seen any outfits inspired by them. My personal style has definitely gotten influenced though hehe -- I'm really starting to like more black and white, geometric etc based clothes.
