As you know I am rather a fan of Korean Han boks and I know that the lovely Alkemie is too. So for you (and her) - and I couldn' t resist showing these gorgeous images of actress Song Hye-kyo taken by Paolo Roversi for June 2007 Korean Vogue above and by photographer Gun Ho Lee also for Korean Vogue below.







The traditional woman's han bok consists of a (short jacket with long sleeves) with 2 long ribbons worn over a full length, high waisted wrap around skirt or on this case a type of strapless empire line dress. The han bok is worn with cute flat boat shaped shoes made of silk and long white cotton socks. They are usually worn during Korean weddings tho they can still be seen worn by ladies walking around Seoul.
